You changed my mind, I was looking for a livaboard and was looking at Albergs style modified full keels. But these beauty's you show are magnificent with really nice living down below.. thanks bro
I really enjoy your shows. Consider thinking about some segments focusing on more performance oriented sailboats . As an example the Beneteau first series. Thanks again
consider: 1.) folks who buy newer (or new) sailboats are necessarily on the higher side of income, and most likely have the smarts to go with that higher income (with some notable exceptions). 2.) we (they) are putting our boats up for sale. for a lot of us thats a heady decision rife with sadness. 3.) dont you have to wonder why so many of us are all, at one time, selling our much loved boats? 😞
I have been in that 2000 Jeanneau 34-2 in Vermont looking early this year to purchase a boat . This is a single owners boat and my brief overview showed that there was some bilge pump work going on and the sole of the bilge cover was springy . The boat works for us and I would like to take my wife there this weekend . Any advice on critical issues or suggested offer? Or maybe a consult? Many thanks !!
Oh nice , sure I would be happy to help, maybe sign up for the producer on my website, that gets you a consult as well as a years access to the members area , I'm always available to chat on the members area and would be more than happy to help
For quite a while I have been torn between more modern yachts (43- 47ft) comparable with your criteria and another group including ketch rig yachts such as Ta Chiao 54, Formosa 51, etc, as these were described as robustly built spacious boats with favourable sail configurations. With the latter being 1980 at newest would you describe the latter as boats to be avoided?
Thanks @terry , yes that's 100% correct, I generally will never recommend a vessel older than 2000 due to repair costs, refit cost , design, functionality, space and numerous other factors
@andrew yeah, those vessels while Great in their day are simply to old at this point , all of your money would be spent on repairs, besides that they are incredibly out dated designs and you could find something newer and smaller that will still have more room
Really? You won’t mention the Draft number along with all the other numbers you give, then every boat after that 393 you give the Draft. Yes, all boats have a variety of Drafts as well as a variety of Lengths. 😂
