I just remembered. Watching movie “inside Daisy Clover” starring Robert Redford snd Natalie wood , the actors retire to his small yacht anchored off a California beach (will hollywood ever learn) .. but anyway the boat I am most certain was an Owens cutter. !! So the h 41 fore bearer was a movie star!!!
Yes, and that same boat was owned by the Original "Tiffany Jane". We had a great kid on the crew we called Tony; a decade later he would, as Ltjg Goose, give his all for Maverick. This boat spent the shooting on the lot, and the sailing scenes were another design, not sure but like a K40. Wade Lewis' actual sail number was 7715, the main on the boom behind his and Daisy's heads. We spent many happy summer days sitting in that very spot at Cherry Cove. I'm just getting started, that's all for now. Thanks for bringing it up. I didn't want to be overbearing or nuthin!
Gosh, I can't tell you what a delight it was to find this channel. I'm a sailor of small boats looking to find a decent first cruising boat. Your videos are educational and well produced. Such a treat to learn from Capt. Q's many years of experience and encyclopedic knowledge. I look forward to every new video.
Pat It’s a classic and a fab boat for someone looking for a turnkey classic to start cruising the West Coast. Good for the tropics as well and not worry about worms. Love it myself !
This gentleman has spent more than asking price updating this boat. Renovating a boat is not a cheap project. I was expecting a woody, but a solid fiberglass boat that cool, that's amazing and it is still on craigslist!
Love at first sight... I'm in love with that boat. That is the most beautiful boat you've shown yet. I wish i had the money to buy her. My goodness that blue upper section is like a mirror. Even though he might not have painted it himself, the gentleman who restored this boat is quite the craftsman! Being solid fiberglass, that boat will be around 100 years from now... not kidding at all!
No no no tulips yet Poppa Q!! 🥲 we need you still! God Bless you and your Family! Thank you for doing the videos! I miss my Grandpa! You really remind me of him. ❤️😌🖖🏼🇺🇸
You are killing me here, Cap’n & Ran-Day! I was happy to not have a boat, playing with my cars, only dreaming of past days on my sailboat, watching your vids. Then you started putting videos in front of me of very nice boats, older and newer, that began to stir my juices of want. But now you have killed me with your presentations of the Alden 44, Ted Brewer Steel 44 and this boat! I want each of them, all of them, any of them! Dammmmmm!!
What can I say...another beautiful episode of Captain Q and Ran-Day- I feel privilege to hear what you have to say and the storyline about each boat! You two make this channel a hit without a doubt-What a gorgeous sailboat and like you said looks almost new- and shows very well for 1965 (I'm of year 1963 myself :)) The person that did this restoration deserves accolades and should be very proud of his work Well done Cheers from Montréal
One of the best times I’ve had was being the build skipper of a SW70. This brought back a lot of memories of a great yard that builds real quality boats (yachts - in the correct definition). Great presentation on a classic.
The way I see it, if Dinty is found aboard, it’s an automatic 1 point added on the Q wheel. LOVE your show! Thank you guys, you’re knowledge is quite helpful and admired. 4e
Work just came to a screeching halt when i saw this appear. She is Not just another pretty face. One thing that I've noticed is a huge percentage of Owens Cutter owners come to realize the search is over, they never want anything else. Thank You
There could never be any other design closer to my heart, i'm sure i will want to share more than anyone wants to hear about our adventures aboard this Beauty.
Good to know the Captain is only three years older than I am. I was thinking I was a dinosaur! And an antique General Mills lover. My GM dream car was a Chevy Nomad that came out around the same time the Vette did. My Nomad was a ‘56 and I had her for more than 40 years.
This boat is absolutely stunning her lines outside are breathtaking the work done inside is second to none .She will turn heads for years to come and justly so . Thank you for showing all of us this thoroughbred of the sea .
The admiration and appreciation for the boat itself but also for the human beings who created it and maintained it, is so palpable and there are so few people, who radiate the love for any sea going adventure more than you two guys. I really really like your video´s. They are truly giving me hope, that one day everything will be good- honestly -, and it will again make sense to buy a boat. Keep on doing what you do-you´re magnificent. Best Regards from Germany Tobias
I delivered Sudeed a Competition 41 from Southwest Harbor to Bermuda for Hinkley in October 1974. Ed Solemon the owner, his manager Dick Homer, with a couple from Ontario were aboard on this delivery. Leaving Ambrose LT and planning a straight shot to Hamilton. The forecast looked OK, yet we got into a depression some 23hrs after leaving the Jersey shore. Not only did Sudeed handle well in the Tropical depression, as we were bare poled with sea anchor secured to her starboard quarter, she kept us alive. A true test of design!
This is my other, go to video to watch over and over. This boat is just beautiful! Everything that the Captain says about this boat, I agree and wish I could buy!!
What a beautiful classic boat and the current owner has done a fantastic job - yes gorgeous just gorgeous! Guys you're my sailing guilty pleasure of the week. Knowledge and humour just makes each of these episodes such great fun. Well done guys.
Gorgeous boat! I thought she was going to seem really cramped and coffin-like when the Captain mentioned her beam, but didn't look that way when you guys got on board. Your videos are always entertaining and educational. I think Captain Q should consider doing RU-vid sailing classes!
Another great episode! Love Captain Q's knowledge and expertise, and love Ran-day's humor and 'pop-ups' (Louis Quinze! ha ha!). Keep up the wonderful work, gentlemen, and thank you!
I found it a few weeks ago on Craigslist and it’s on my favorite list !! The pics are good but omg thank you for showing it ! That is a beautiful boat and it belongs in the water !! Thank you
I subscribed a few days ago. You are so knowledgeable and a hoot to listen to. So much fun. I can easily imagine living on a boat one day. This boat is amazing but like yourself, that yawl is to "live" for. Stock her up with Dinty More and some white wine and I'd be set. Thank you.
Can’t even imagine the hours put into this restoration, A beautiful boat! By the way, I tried my first can of Dinty Moore beef stew and it was surprisingly good. Was saving it for the splash but got hungry 😋
Amazing attention to detail hardware and coatings wise. That was a labor of love for that owner and crew . Even the bronze Perko thru hulls and raw water strainers were polished bright and then clear coated. Amazing boat and amazing job.
What a beautiful gem! I can feel all the eyes watching as we sail in to Squirrel Cove in the Gulf Islands and drop anchor. Like your favorite car too. Thanks for sharing this boat.
I do love the banter, the knowledge level is great, I too have been seeking my next level boat. I’m actually thinking about 22ft to train with, but if I could afford this I be buying it immediately and training with it instead. So sweet, I love it when the Captain can see them on the water, even better would be a sail if they’re on the water. Thanks so much. I’m a total fan, I love trying to answer the questions the Captain asks before Randy. Thanks again
hahaha... that's a great mental picture. Ran-day has the advantage of answering quicker with a few video edits.. Starting on a modest craft is a great way to build the confidence... get comfortable and then be ready to stretch your legs with something bigger
What a beautiful boat!! I love, love, love watching your show, especially your explanations of the various terms of the boats, along with the history of the different manufacturers. It has rekindled my desire to take up sailing (especially as I'm nearing retirement). Thanks again for entertainment and education!!
Dainty Moore is great when you’re really hungry after a long watch or when you have a bottle of really good wine. I spent 16 days at n a catamaran crossing the Caribbean from east to west with 2 guys who provisioned the boat with beans and rice and Mac & cheese. I can’t tell you how much longed for a can of Dinty Moore when I finished my 4-8 watch.
Dinty Moore is a staple. Many offshore races, never witnessed a time when there wasn't at least a couple cans on board. Heck, working in the oil fields, we would warm up a can on the exhaust manifold of a diesel engine.
This video really brought home how far we have advanced since the mid-sixty's. This boat is a fine museum piece, a real piece of history, and dockside she will drop the jaw's of sailors everywhere. From a naval architecture point of view she is a heavy beast with a very narrow beam, and cramped spaces every where you go down below. Who would buy this boat and why would they buy it? I can't say for sure, I think a museum would be the best shot. From a practical sailing point of view, what is the sweet spot for this boat, one area of sailing where she will excel? This one I can answer and those conditions would be off shore in a serious seaway with the wind blowing in the low forty's, gusting to the mid-fifty's. In these conditions you would have a boat that performs on a level with any boat built today, but this is where the party ends for this old girl. In light or moderate wind this boat would be slower than molasse's and to actually get anywhere far away would require a very large fuel tank for the undersized engine, or the patients of a Monk. Thanks for the nice video, Capt. Q - keep them coming!
This could lead to a highly interesting conversation but speed snd volume comparisons of older to new boats is all somewhat moot but suffice it to say. That a newer boat might make 2 kts more than the h41 going from a to b when you get to b I think I will turn snd admire the launch taking me ashore and mine er bother to take a second look at the latest fin keeled Euopean marvels of conspicuous consumption. This is my feelings and even give a new boat five feet longer with threes “staterooms” and en-suite heads I would take the h 41 the 41 has a soul the other is clueless. And have you ever raced one of these older boats yourself Especially in light air you will find interesting results. All just my feelings And here is an interesting article with a third view www.morganscloud.com/2019/09/02/some-thoughts-on-smaller-older-cruising-boats/ Thank you gor watching and your thoughts
@@YachtHunters - Yes, I owned, lived aboard and sailed a Bristol 40 for about 5 years. Made several long passages, 2 Bermuda cruises from New England and back, then a sail around the pond that started with a northern crossing and then back to the west on a southern crossing, so yes, I absolutely am familiar with older long keel boats of this nature. You are correct that good speed could be made in moderate conditions, but you had to be willing to fly some sail to make her go. We carried a 170 and used it a lot of the time, but the real trick to making these type of hulls sail was to move the center of effort forward in the sail plan. I have found this to be true regardless of the builder or model when it comes to full keel boats. Bristol made this modification to the 40 by adding a bow spirit which extended the fore triangle about three feet, they also made this modification with an inner stay that was anchored at the stem head where the old Genny used to tack from. We had Bristol make this modification on our boat and it was a very nice improvement, and the boat was now fast and balanced in moderate wind, but again we flew a lot of canvas to make everything come together. When we sold the B40 our next boat was a Valiant 42 that we had built for us in Texas, and what a wonderful sea boat she was. We loved our B40 but this Valiant made us forget about her in short order. The V42 was a much faster boat (and far bigger down below) in all conditions and a much easier boat to sail at speed than the Bristol. So I guess this is where my opinions come from, comparing a V42 to the B40. The V42 had a long keel, but not a full keel, and a skeg hung rudder. Let me add that this Hinckley, or a B40 with the fore triangle extended made for very easy heavy weather sailing, because with a blade on the inner stay and a deep reef in the main, you could sail through a hurricane! Nice talking boats with you, Capt. Q - You have a new subscriber.
Thanks Jamie you certainly have been abroad. Anything that gets me on the water works for me as well There is no perfect boat for all of us but whatever gets us fro a-b safely and home again Your boats are great and I can understand the move From the one to the other. Thsnks so much for taking the time to send your information. The Bristol upgrade especially Bon voyage
Great video. Was just talking to Aaron Esker about it and we were wondering about what the owner says re: condition of the sails. Keep up the great work.
Hi nick Feel free to contact the owner Under video is a description below which See “show more” Hit that and scroll down for owner contact info He will be happy to chat with you This would be a great boat for Aaron etc 🤗
Boy's she is one beautiful sailboat, I would really like to see you two Boy's and seadog out sailing Camelot . Yes I know that if you did that you guys wouldn't come back untill your Demi Moore stew ran out . Great boat boat and you did a great job at presenting her . Great stuff
Thank you for bringing forth some of the Progeny of the Owens Cutter family. After growing up in Western New York I’m most familiar with the BORSAW part of the story. BORSAW stood for the initials of the original six investors who had the boats built and also the names of the six boats. The last time I heard both Bear and Aries are still active the Western New York area. It would be interesting if you stumbled into a Block Island 40 to compare and contrast with a Hinckley 40 some day.
Well I spent all of my money on a 36 ft motor home Thursday so I don't have any money to buy a sailboat anymore, but I can still dream. Thanks for keeping my dreams alive & keep the good stuff coming.
That boat is a work of art, it would almost be a shame to get it wet because it's just so shiny... not impossible though, I could be convinced to take her for a couple of laps on the Atlantic.
I just painted a 30 foot boat flag blue but that one is super nice pant job like a mirror. Most boats have a little ripple to them but that one was super smooth. Nice work.
