Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my RU-vid channel and channel members.
It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!

Problem is start asking a seller or broker dates on sail,dates on rigging,etc they can never give a truthful answer So you disregard the boat and move on to the next for sale to find the same thing out...sellers think 20yr old rigging is no big deal but to me its a deal breaker unless negotiated into the price

Finding this helpful, shopping for something much simpler, inland lake in utah under 32ft, but have a family of 4 and zero time to work on a boat. I was looking at ‘70s boats, hard pivot after these videos 2000+ now (ideally 2010+) won’t have a slip for another 1-2 years due to marina construction, but thanks!!

I love the aesthetics of a lot of older sailboats but he's right you have to consider what your getting into for maintenance if your going to be doing it the amount of money and work you will be doing it way larger then people consider. Be thorough I love wooden boats built into fiberglass hulls but the work and maintenance is something you have to scrutinize. I love older boats but you will Need both TLC's Tender loving care and Tender loving cash.

Thank you for your channel, I find it very informative and definitely you know what you are talking about. However, I find it very contradicting when you say youtubers and beginner sailors do not cross oceans within the first 2 years, and Sailing Zatara crossed oceans without any sailing experience and within few weeks from buying their first boat. could you please shed some light on this. Thanks you Chris.

Great and informative videos! I love the depths of knowledge on this account:) I've noticed you sometimes comment on bad pictures (like example at 5:49 in the video). Have you tried clicking the picture? If you don't open the pictures, they are usually very zoomed in. Opening the pics will zoom them out again. (Downside of opening the pictures are they have this "animation" when browsing that takes a small second every picture...)

Please something about how to choose solo sailboat.. I don't get along with other humans. What makes and what breaks a solo sailboat. Min leght with comfort, max length, Ease of use, like that furler for jibs makes a huge difference. I'm looking at boats and I have no idea what I'm looking at. Besides length discrepancy.. By now we know We want to use every foot we paid for. I've seen something similar to furler for main sail that's build in mast or that other boom thingy that's attached hanging under main sheet ... No idea how it's called.. But it makes reefing easier.. I guess?!.. As you can see, I'm prime example of not understanding a thing what we are supposed to look at.. Your friend Lady K suggests 2009 Odyssey 36i and it kind of makes sense... It's not archaeological find, roomy... What Beneteau you would suggest instead 😂 jk

OUT OF THE BOX QUESTION: In fact this isn't just out of the box, it's out of left field entirely. So I'm shopping for a boat and I'm autistic and that means my brain is constantly going a million miles a second and I consider things often for no reason other than the thought simply appeared. This is one of those times, hope you all enjoy this thought experiment. As I shop, I regularly see these deals for partial ownership, 21k for 1/5 share of a 2016 Jeanneau 519 for example currently listed on YB. Let's say I buy into this... I assume there are some sort of contracts regarding how long I can have the vessel out for and where I can go or whatever, fine. Let's say I don't care and I buy into this split ownership deal - my name is now on title. That means I can't steal the boat as I'm an owner, right? So lets say I put 21k into this boat out of Cali and I sail the lil girl to the Philippines and decide I'm not coming back. Now what? You can't say I stole the boat so there's no criminal charges to file, only civil. In other words, there's no way to take it from me or make me give it back. And, since all of my American assets and cash are in a trust you can't touch them in court so sue all you like, I'll not even show in court because who cares and I have a Jeanneau 519 I paid 21k for... what am I missing?

@ChasingLatitudes 3 месяца назад

The fact that your plotting a crime publicly may be what your missing. But in all seriousness that's not how partial ownership works, in the contracts there are in fact rules and regulations for use, location and so on. It would be no different if you just stole a vessel , yes it's criminal, yes most places would extradition you, yes you could also hide

@sterlingarcher1962 3 месяца назад

@@ChasingLatitudes slow your roll there sailor, I'm not plotting anything. I clearly said "thought experiment" so lets not make this something it's not. It's just for a silly discussion. So how does it work then? How do they structure this type of deal so that I can be pinned with theft on something I paid into? Just curious... and remember, you can choose to ignore this comment, have fun with it or you can choose to be a snarky a$$hat, your choice. I'm just here to have fun with this, maybe you can too ;-)

@jstefa2 3 месяца назад

@@sterlingarcher1962 i shared a boat like 20 years ago and my brother shares a coastal house. the way its typically done is you have a contract and in the contract there are dates on which you can use the boat and the condition you are required to leave it in after you are done. (clean boat, no trash, full fuel, full water tanks, empty black water tank, etc etc) basicly its treated as a rental but you rent it of each other. you own and maintain only 1/5th of the boat, but rent 4/5th of the boat for free. at limited timeframes.

It's like saying why is Rolex or Cadillac bad? Rolex isn't "bad" they're usually not practical, particularly on a budget, because they carry premium.
