Answering the question "What's it like owning an old Hinckley sailboat?" This week, I'm fortunate enough to have been able to go for a sail on a 1974 Hinckley Pilot 35 and hear what it's like to own an older Hinckley.

I miss capt Q so much, but I will say there couldn't be a better person to man the helm than you, Randay. So glad that you're continuing to bring this great content to all of us. Thank you

@dougfaulkner6799 10 месяцев назад

Good to see you again Randay. What a beautiful simple boat. Hinkley's are a work of art for sure. Condolences to the family for their loss, but i love the picture of him at the helm. Give my best to Cap'n Q. He is sorely missed and i hope he has his health. And finally, thanks for carrying on this channel. You have rekindled my love for sailing and i hope you can carry on showing us some of the old classics.

@ronwitzel3246 10 месяцев назад

Yes, great to see the old classics so beautifully maintained. Previously mentioned that out here in SF Bay Area we have a 1961 Tripp Javelin 38 built by Van Lent and Zonen now part of Feadships in Holland.

@donaldklapproth8091 9 месяцев назад

Hi Randy, great idea but time -constrained owner. Without any doubt, any sailor looks at Hinkley's as one of the most desirable & prestigious boats you could own, and this Bagel Shop day sailor loved your interview. I'm happy he can at least be a good steward, but personally a lot of owners would love this boat so much they would have already gone offshore to at least Bermuda or Florida by now not used it as a day sailor Also, a large quantity of your followers believe other areas are the sailing Capitals of this country, like Annapolis for a great example. I'm taking this time to express some points to assist the ways to improve and grow viewership because we personally loved what Captian Q's personality and knowledge brought to your show.You've got some good ideas so please keep at it, as we sailing people love learning about new items entering the market like new electric outboards and propulsion systems for sailboats, new electronics, and a things on maintenance or improvements to their boats. Fair Winds Calm Seas FWCS⛵️

Can’t tell you how glad I am you’re still out there educating the next generation, and the old generation as well, about the joys of sailing! Thanks Randay😁

thanks Mr. B!! cheers! :)

@burtpowell1344 10 месяцев назад

Great information from Rob. Store your Hinckley indoors, figure maintaining her will be threefold, keep her classy, don’t chase the latest, and upgrade slowly and deliberately. Very much enjoyed our sail w Rob

@mattevans-koch9353 10 месяцев назад

Very nice boat. Thank you Randay for carrying on the Captain Q legacy of finding and showing wonderful boats.

@GreatCreative 9 месяцев назад

On a platform where everything sailboat seems to be clickbait and shock-stunting, Yacht Hunters is the refreshing calm at sea. Conversation and knowledge wins the race. Looking forward to more episodes.

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

That’s very kind of you. Thank very much

@HakureiReimuOfficial 10 месяцев назад

RANDAAAAAYYYY thank you so, so much for keeping the channel alive and moving it along now completely in your own flavor! It's a good flavor, I enjoyed this episode a lot and look forward to whatever else you're cooking. Also, more yawls. We can always use more yawls. God I love yawls.

@brucelotimer7242 10 месяцев назад

So pleased to see you are continuing the tradition of a quality production. The Hinckley is the perfect example of a sail-boat. Simplicity of systems, quality construction and a dream to sail. Thank you for sharing.

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

well said, Bruce!

@jamesadams1064 10 месяцев назад

Hey, it’s Randay . Good to see you. Gorgeous boat, thanks for the tour. But, no Dinty Moore😂

Moon Dancer is the second last Hinckley Pilot 35 built, hull #124. The last hull #125 was originally named Distant Drummer.

@svharmsway2501 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Randy for keeping the channel going, and going strong I might add. All the best to you and the captain.

@valerieb.4912 10 месяцев назад

I like that the first thing you did on your own without Capt. Q, is go on a “Gentlemen’s Sailboat”. Ahh perfect 👍. I am glad to have join your patron. Happy Sailing ⛵️

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

thanks Valerie, much appreciated!!

@todddunn945 10 месяцев назад

Hinckley Pilots are great sailing boats. There are quite a few locally (maybe 10 or so), but that may be because locally is Southwest Harbor, Maine. The boats are small below for a 35 footer. Another thing is that you often see a pilot that looks brand new, but was built in the early 60s. The build quality is as good as it gets.

@RicCross 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Randy, love the “Captain chat” format, great questions that provide insight, looking forward to more episodes!

@ricardosetti4976 10 месяцев назад

Hi Randay. I am so glad to see the channel getting its own life. We’ll all miss capt Q but now we have capt R. Keep going! Are you planning to go to Annapolis Boat Show? There are a few ideas I’d like to discuss with you,

@davecoleman6855 10 месяцев назад

Randy - you just made my day. I spent 3 lovely high school summers crewing for an elderly gentleman that owned a wooden Sparkman & Stephens 35foot yawl predecessor to this boat. Yup the jib boom was there. The only real differences are down below. His boat had a charcoal heater and as I recall the galley was a little different. It also didn't have the Pilot berths. Thank you for bringing back so many great memories of my youth.

@Abc-kf4qx 10 месяцев назад

Way to go Randay! Looking forward to many more episodes, well done Sir!

@waynefederico9396 10 месяцев назад

Herbert has been the inspiration and dreams for all sailors . With his corny ways of fitting in small spaces, the guy with a big heart. He lived long do to eating "Dinty Moore" & sailing...

@peterdodge6563 10 месяцев назад

I’m with you on your channel - you were a great team member with Captain Q and I look forward to the direction your channel embarks.

@jeffwatson4908 10 месяцев назад

A great start to new adventures Randy (I guess Ran-day has retired). Good to see you back and what a fabulous boat and happy owner to introduce us to.

@bos6782 10 месяцев назад

Ran day. Sure glad you put out some new content. That Hinckley is beautiful.

@filmingandfettling 10 месяцев назад

Spectacular boat! I sail my 12 1/2 most afternoons... but that Hinckley!

@oneparticularharbor144 10 месяцев назад

Hey Randal- new to the channel and back watching all the episodes. Long time classic boat owner between boats at the moment- I’ve owned two boats in 38 years, my last for 33 of those years .Yes Hinkley is the Lamborghini/ Ferrari/Maserati of the sea - made me miss the water for sure. I’m looking but not hurrying as someone said- you don’t find the boat the boat finds you, which is so true from my experience . Maintenance is quite high- ha that’s the understatement of the year ! But it’s a labor of love !

@davidohman9211 2 месяца назад

Thank you, Randay! I've watched you and the Captain from the eariest episode. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Before moving to Colorado, I sailed out of Dana Point Harbor in SoCal. So I miss the boats and the sea. You inspire me.

@scomo532 10 месяцев назад

The Pilot was a really great boat. Not as tough to maintain as a B40, but similar performance and very seakindly. And, pretty as a pictcha!

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

wicked pretty!!

@JasonFilippi 10 месяцев назад

Great episode Randay! I'm sure the Captain was jealous of the ride. Lovin the new format - you may even get me to buy a boat! :) Looking forward to the next one.

@tomyoung1705 10 месяцев назад

Great sailboat and well-done video! After 3 cruising sailboats, and countless heads and systems, converting to a composting head was one of the best improvements we've done for coastal cruising.

@kristinbrowne3045 10 месяцев назад

What kind of head? Not sure the Airhead will fit in the space we have on the boat

@tomyoung1705 9 месяцев назад

An OGO. It has about the smallest footprint which fit well in our old boat. Very happy with it after two seasons. @@kristinbrowne3045

@bravofighter 10 месяцев назад

What a lovely yacht! Hinckleys really are gorgeous, I would love to do a day sail on one, or perhaps even crew a longer passage. Could you pass along some love from Kim & I to the Captain? We miss him, and wish him well in enjoying his retirement!

@clayman4105 10 месяцев назад

Nice job Randayyy…… best to Cap’n Q ……. The Q’ster ……. The Ole Man and the Sea!!! Good to watch this one and look forward to many more!!!

Ran Day! My best to you AND Captain Q. Love you guys!

@beverlyaslett7871 10 месяцев назад

Great tour of this boat and also a bit of good info for those of us who might want to visit these areas. I also like the jazzy music. Keep putting little Easter eggs in. We all need some humor. I hope this channel grows and you find your way without our captain. Maybe he will do a cameo sometimes. Darn. I have to use you real name now Mr Randall.

@joshuaparker4004 10 месяцев назад

Great video, my friend. Nothing is more beautiful than and a well loved older boat, and nothing catches the eye quicker, and if it doesn't bring a smile to your lips, then you have no soul.

Randaaaayy, thanks for sharing such a beautiful peace of history. I must admit though that I was apparently addicted to Capt Q and detoxing has been rough.. if you talk to him let him know that he's missed and I pray he's doing well

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

will do! thanks ben

@MerleNicholson 10 месяцев назад

Terrific video. You're on the right track shifting from the CaptQ format. I'd like to hear some specs on the boat. Year, length, WL, beam. The interior is quite small, but the beautiful overhangs account for that. Nice video, keep it up, please.

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

@kristinbrowne3045 10 месяцев назад

Kinda love the lime green cushions but they aren’t the best for a good sleep!

@phantomtrijder6493 9 месяцев назад

Don't often see a boom on the foresail..... How does that affect sail performance? Great video Rannday. Thanks

@YachtHunters 9 месяцев назад

they are pretty great (and more care free) but downwind it's harder to get the jib out far enough... so you mostly have to stick to a broad reach if you're aiming to go downwind. hope this helps!

@edwardlagace9813 10 месяцев назад

As a naturalist in heart and soul I am both in love with the beauty you describe, and the pure human foolishness of the sailing world you live in. Living the boats, the water , and the adventures. When you show the millions upon millions of monies and the opulence in style of the people that spend their lives searching for happiness? I think WHY, why, WHY??? EZL PS I have a fantasy of living on and in the waters in the deep (dark) Blue world you love.
