BoatFools TOP Sailboats For Sale In Maine! Holiday Edition! These are some exquisite boats! 

Always a great show. Keep posting gentlemen, and we’ll keep watching with great respect.

I did get my first boat this year, yes yacht, for, wait for it, $400 Aussie dollars. Still working on getting it sailing, but it is floating.

The Lyman Morse 52 i a beautiful boat. I remember seeing it when it was new. Although it says the boat is in Southwest Harbor, I have not seen it on the water for many years. I suspect it is in a Hinckley shed. I like this boat a lot except for one thing. It may not look like it in the pictures, but from the dock this is a very big, slab sided boat and you need a ladder or steps to board it from the dock.The only other negative I have about this boat is that the interior is so nice that I would worry about scratching the perfect varnish. On the plus side the Leisure Furl boom and the electric winches make the boat easy to sail single or double handed. Very nice boat and actually a good value for the money.

I love the older boats with their long overhangs in the bow and stern. I got to see J-Class Endeavor when I was in San Diego for the America's Cup in 1998??. My memory fails me, but Black Magic won the cup. As for my pick in this contest, I have to go with the Bermuda 40. Another Bill Tripp design which I love is the Columbia 50.

An incredible selection of beautiful boats, mainly for seasonal gentlemen sailors with deep maintenance pockets for whom the boat is an accoutrement rather than a life platform. For someone who actually wants to cruise, the Norseman hands down. It is a fast boat, well designed and built. It needs some cruising upgrades but can be sailed easily short handed.

The Norseman is my pick to go cruising. And of course that 52 is a dream at a bargain 700k

I’m a new subscriber and fan of your channel. Thanks for all the insight when looking at boats. It really helps people like myself who are new to the boating world. One note, please slow down when flipping through photos! Too fast! Besides that, AMAZING channel. So full of knowledge.

The Bermuda 40. I’m biased. I’ve owned one for eighteen years.

I also feel the same way that Josh does about centerboards. They introduce a moving part under the waterline that I don't feel comfortable with.

We were surprised to see our S&S Swan on your top boats of Maine! We closed on the 20th and are looking forward to sailing her next year.

Those were definitely some really nice boats. I was surprised that the Norseman didn't make it into anyone's top three though ... the below on that boat really appeared to be roomy and airy. Another great episode!

Your reviews are informative. Have you considered a west Coast version of best boats under $30k? Also, a show on sailboat data explained would be great. I learn more each episode, but a data-dedicated episode would be great. Thank you!

Of all the boats you guys picked the B40 is my choice. It is a beautiful boat that is in pristine condition. Plus it has one feature that none of the other boats have - the bulkhead mounted custom half model built by Todd Dunn Microyachts of Bass Harbor, Maine.

The Concordia Yawl is a very nice boat, but I like the interior on the other Concordia 40 that is for sale. The only negatives about those boats is that they are wood and are planked with mahogany (hard to find and expensive). Having owned a wooden boat for 15 years, I can assure your that such boats need continuous maintenance to keep them in good shape. At the very least they will need to have the entire boat gone over every year to locate all deteriorated wood and then that wood must be replaced. The boat will need new exterior paint every year to keep it looking good. If you don't have the skills to do the wood work, it will cost a lot of money every year. Concordia are beautiful boats that have quite a following, but they cost a good deal to keep them in top shape. Consequently, having gotten old wooden boats out of my system, I would never consider another one. I will continue to enjoy looking at other peoples wooden boats though.

Just love this show. Great voting and interaction cheers

I’ll take the Concordia. Great collection of boats. I would have taken the Swan if not for the water staining. And that dated motor

Nice boats. Good to see a money is no object grouping for a change, although except for the Lyman Morse 52, all of the boats were on the cheap side. I like the Hinckley 48 from the outside. It is basically a Bermuda 40 on steroids. However once on board there is a lot not to like. I am not a fan of how the companionway is set up. It is awkward to go below. I also don't care much for the interior layout. The H-48 is a small 48 footer that has a racing oriented layout. The boat was clearly refit for offshore racing back in 2006, but a lot of stuff dates to then. The sails are a big item that likely need updating since the listing says the newest sails are from 2006. 2006 sails on a boat used for racing definitely need upgrading unless the boat spent a lot of the lat 18 years in the shed. I know it didn't since I have seen it hanging on a Hinckley mooring for the last few years. The standing and running rigging also appear to be old (93 for standing rigging and early 2000s for running), so that will need to be replaced. The boat will also needs to have at least three winches replaced. I am talking about the Barient 35 secondaries and the Barient 22 main sheet winch since those are not selftailing. Personally I would jut buy all new Andersens with electric primaries. The electronic are also 2006 vintage, so the boat could use all new electronics. Also, although the picture don't show it well, it looks like the on deck teak is due for wooding and revarnishing from bare wood. Overall, the $145K price i misleading since in my opinion the boat will need about $50K-$60K spent on it to bring it up to standards for serious sailing. Frankly the H-48 offered for $125K down in Eliot is a much nicer boat with more modern system except the engine which has a lot of hours. However, even if you included repowering the cost to have a boat ready to sail anywhere would still be considerably less than the boat you picked.

A little late to this party but I think that Red Green is looking for his shirt that Canadian Ken is wearing. I may be wrong but I don't think so. What is it with you boat folks and Red Green? First Captain stole his suspenders and now Canadian Ken has is shirt. It must be a conspiracy or they they auction off the set from the Red Green show? Keep the good stuff coming guys.

So what do you have for us guys with “champagne taste and a beer budget”?

Couldn't find the Swan 48 listed by broker (wellington partners) or on Yachtworld???

Really!!! All these boats are NOT priced for the real buyer unless your last name is Rockefeller

Really ? Center board ,hung rudder, comfortable ok ,Lotta flash , but true class ? There is only one vessel the rest are wishful wannabes. Yes the Concordia 40 , historical pedigree she's proven her self time and time again at 64 years young ,the rest should be so lucky even to sail in her shadow. We all can't be on the same page as sometimes. You have a good holiday . Angus

Rich people used to own these. They cut their losses just in time.
