Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
This week we’re checking out a boat that already has 1 circumnavigation under its belt, seems to be in near perfect condition, and has a couple very unique design characteristics that we’re excited about. It’s not on the market, so if this boat is right for us, we could really strike gold!
Asking Price: $150,000
Location: New Bern, North Carolina
Email the Bob at rnjpinz@aol.com if you think this boat is for you!
Special thanks to Bob Schoen for this great photo of Migration under sail. Thanks also to Charles Gaines for helping us track down Bob ;)

Fun fact: My wife and I made all of the cushions on that boat... Our slip is about 10 away from that boat. It's a shame you aren't going to buy it. I know how well the current owners took care of it... and enjoyed it for many, many years.

@billhellmers2739 3 года назад

As a Caliber 40 owner, it was a little rough listening to your criticism but all is fair. Several things: the aft head is the “sea head”. You use the forward head for storage when at sea as the aft head is at the fulcrum of the boat and also is an excellent place to throw wet gear. The performance upwind is fair. However, this boat likes to be “pulled by the nose” meaning it’s all headsail. Put a reacher or asym on her and she will fly! The master cabin is the most comfortable I’ve ever been in. Been living aboard for over 10 years and I love it. Great to see you checking out the Cali er! Surprised you didn’t mention the integral tanks, tank capacity, removable cutter stay, and general livability of the boat. But, I’m a Caliber owner so I’m biased! Great videos and keep ‘em coming!!!

@billhellmers2739 2 года назад

@@royhoward119 There are 2 models…the Caliber 40 and the after 1995 the Caliber 40 LRC. We have a 1992 so the tankage is 50 gal fuel and 160 gallons water. The tankage on the LRC models is far greater.

Great review/video. One thing I like about the Calibers is that they are very rugged with fully encapsulated keels, solid hulls, no balsa anywhere (no wet decks), and very sturdy rigs.

@Scramasax 3 года назад

A couple of tips from a dad. You have very good points and considerations in your reviews. I would also consider the following, if I was planning for 2 kids and if I was looking for a liveaboard boat. First of all I would prioritize 3 separate cabins. Kids tend to born not simultaneously (except in rare cases), so a parent is going to need some privacy with the newly born in the beginning. Unless the intention is to keep the whole crew awake 24/7. When the kids become teenagers (which happens FAST) they will need separate rooms, not only separate beds.

@MegaStinkybear 3 года назад

Twins would solve that problem

@dwel2928 3 года назад

Agree 100%. It was amazing how much happier we all were once we got a minivan so each kid could have his own seat on long trips. And the word FAST above can not be emphasized enough! "The days are long, but the years are short." May God bless your yet-to-be family!

@symphonyfarm2009 2 года назад

My kids are 5 and 8. We just moved up from a 22ft boat to a 27 which in one season started to seem small. Bigger boats become small quicker with kids! I am back here as the Caliber 33 is an interesting boat for me, my family size and my price point!

@eljefe1153 2 года назад

You underrated this boat. Spend 2 weeks on a Caliber 40 lrc and we sailed in rough condition offshore and I felt very comfortable and save. The only issue we had on a broad reach sailing with to much sail, where the boat was turning to the wind. After sail adjustment she sailed with no pressure on the helm very smooth. I recommend this boat for long term cruising.

@CharlotteKinkade 3 года назад

I have a handful of clients who LOVE their mast furling- personally: it’s not my preference because I like to keep as little weight aloft as possible and getting up to tend to issues leaves your on deck hand solo and VERY responsible for your and the boats well being. A second head is great- but you have to carry twice the marine sanitation fixing supplies... Following your purchase adventure has been ultra fun- because I shop and sell boats for a living- plus my partner and I are shopping for our next step up in racer / cruiser sailboat- it’s crazy to see how carrying our priorities are! Great videos guys!

@chuckprichard3691 3 года назад

The forward cabin is wonderful. I find myself hanging out there. You'll love that. The chain locker issue is real. You have to tend the chain when she comes up, no way around it. The Nav station issue is real, too. It's cramped. I don't find myself spending much time there. As far as single handing, this boat is a dream. You would probably want to use the quarterberth as a sea berth.

@brucemckelvy9920 3 года назад

We had a C&C 37 and our neighbors in the slip beside us had a Caliber 40LRC. I loved that boat. Especially the ease of getting to all the systems as well as the easy access to the salon from the cockpit. You could go up or down with no hands carrying drinks or plates of food which you seem to do much more than most people realize.

@foundatsea3483 3 года назад

Always liked the LRC or Long Range Cruising version but this model is really a 42-45 fit in to a 40. The settee and NAV (wow that was a miss, imagine how much bigger / better the galley could have been) were sacrificed. Love the slo-mo scenes. Looking fwd to the Shannon 43.

@billmcbain2362 3 года назад

The anchor locker issue can be easily solved. I did it on my boat. I made a wide roller of PVC tubing and positioned it over the desired location of the pile of chain. Positioned it as low as reasonable and the chain self feeds to make the pile. When the pile is high enough so there is not enough free chain hanging from the roller to keep pulling it to the rear it falls forward where there is still room for the rest. I don't even need to open the locker when anchoring it is very reliable just using gravity.

@Buckskin40 3 года назад

The Caliber 40LRC was quite good, but my guess at this point in time is the Tayana Vancouver 42. Following your progress with interest! But nothing yet beats the galley in the Tayana and the Nav station is vastly better. Hope you can get a recent production if you choose it, to eliminate the likely tank storage issues.

I grew up spending my summers on a sailboat as a kid with my sister. My father was 6'5" and we were extremely comfortable on a 1992 monte cristo 43'. It was a center cockpit with the main salon aft. There was one head, and 3 individual staterooms. Built in South Africa it was more than equipped for long and short hauls.

@myinfinitestate1586 3 года назад

Firstly, the boat's in absolute immaculate condition..What a great job the current owner(s) have done! Really nice galley as well. However, it seems like several areas were designed as after thoughts. Unfortunately, the nav station, is in an awkward position. The interior layout seems a bit dodgy. These boats also aren't the smoothest during open water cruising. Especially at higher speeds. Something to remember with young children or infants. Cheers from Western OZ!

@davidd3377 3 года назад

Passport 40 might be worth looking at with the forward berth instead of the pullman berth. I have seen a couple for around $100,000 that need minimum work and they are nice. Just something to consider. The Pullman berth version has an extra head in the aft cabin but both Berths are double and not a sailboat queen. It is set up similar to the caliber but a lot more woodwork. Also the second head on the passport is in the quarter berth under a lid and doesn’t take from the salon. I guess it will be if you want wood or that white wall. The passport can be used as a cutter rig . The draft just under 6’. For $150,000 you would get a fantastic passport It is definitely a passage boat as well. That is a great boat and is a big step above the Tayana for quality but it probably reflects in the price.

@koborkutya7338 3 года назад

While you are not changing your priorities midstream, you should consider the time you will spend underway and time spent at anchor in the Pacific. The approach of this boat - 50%-50% - is something to think about. If you are really interested in places you go, you will probably spend more time on anchor than on passage - OK, now 90-10 but still, like 60-40 or so. (moving in the lagoon of an atoll I consider as anchor time). And if you sail with kids, they will need much more time on land (is-land or other land) meeting other people and socializing, you just cannot be underway all the time. Therefore I am not sure if it is really smart to optimize only for passage comfort. (This is independent of the outcome on this one which obviously doesn't really fit you anyway, just a thought)

As a dad I am of the opinion that you are trying to find two boats in one hull. Kids are like boats in that the bigger they get their footprint gets exponentially larger. Try thinking about getting your first born through to the age of five or six and then you'll want to either get a bigger boat or find something with a yard. Enjoy your work and be safe carrying on!

@spikeafrican8797 3 года назад

Funny but that was pretty much my exact thought. May be the wrong time for the forever boat. 40 feet will be good until the first child is about 5. I think the forever boat will need to be bigger!

@lupindeweir 3 года назад

I obviously don't know you or your desired time table but have you considered Something in the mid 50 foot range or a shade larger? You might start a new industry doing weekend charters for people with small kids. The bad word in this is charters of course but you are still going to have to pay the bills (if you thought boats were expensive you haven't priced kids lol). With ~200K subscribers you already have a target market and you might even do teaching cruses either as individual (or couples) instruction or team up with an off the beaten path resort and have a weeks worth of partying on the beach at night and load em up and school em during the day. Random thoughts. Anyway, good luck!

@steveturansky9031 3 года назад

Love the headroom (I'm 6'3"+). I couldn't deal with the sea berth or nav station either. I like a swim step/sugar scoop but that one's a bit small (for landing a fish). Are you absolutely not interested in cats? Plenty of Lagoon 380 (and some Leopard 40) pretty close to that price range. They'd give so much more space although they don't sail upwind quite as well. Off the wind and beam reaching you could haul ass. Redundant engines, but that means maintaining 2 also. Abundant solar possibilities and great dinghy storage. Also it's great not hauling lead that will sink you if you hole the boat.

@DaveWarnock 3 года назад

Our 3 boys are now all well over 20 :-) Trying to cope with them sharing a bed when they were young would have been a nightmare for us ;-) Even more so when they get a bit older if you have a mixture of boys and girls. I wonder if any of the designs you are looking at have a couple of quarter berths? Even if they are not full cabins they are great for kids (can always add a curtain). While they are small there is still loads of storage at the far end. Plus when you are on passage they will need sea berths anyway, quarter berths will provide that. If the quarter berths are large then they can be a play space, also you can put a net/lee cloth at the end to stop them escaping (saves the hassles that you see on la Vagabonde where they have to put a lid on a child cot).

@DaveWarnock 3 года назад

Confession time. I hadn't looked much at layouts for family bluewater cruising. Quarter berth cabins are lightweight Med charters or much older designs. Still I'm not convinced at using v-berths at sea for the kids. Maybe pilot berths in the saloon for passages? The designs are far too focused on two couples rather than parents and kids. Maybe one way is to refit a pullman cabin as two bunks, while you have the aft cabin. Or some of the older aft cabin designs have 2 singles in the aft cabin (but I'd want a walk through to it for kids). Our centre cockpit Rival 38 can have both the forecabin and the aft cabin as v-berths or doubles. But only about 6 built and too old for what you are looking for.

First saw the idea in a Warship when the commissioning CO was 6'4" bloody funny - but also really effective - appropriately trimmed up of course. but you have to fess up Jordan is not the ideal height for a yachtsman - sailing manual 101 says an idea yachtsman should be 5'10" and celibate - never did like text books

By far the best sailing channel on RU-vid! Best of luck on your boat buying journey. Excited with you on a new chapter sailing around the world! #fan4life

The one really big draw back for me with that boat, and I know the Calibers are nice boats, but no bridge deck is a huge big deal. For me I wouldn’t call that a blue water boat, whether it’s gone around the world or not. The other thing for me is no granny bars. You can’t count on the in mast furler not breaking down. I’m so stoked you guys are all over that too! The Shannon’s are very nice!

Wow guys.. I'm pretty broke these days so I didn't donate but man almost 93k!! Congratulations! I hope that allows you to get a little bit better of a boat or a boat that you really want that needs a few upgrades. Loving the journey for Atticus II!

A clean bilge is a great indication of the overall maintenance being done by the current owners. Lots of comments about seeing you guys dressed in "regular garb". Des you would look great in a potato sack, Jordan you struck Gold when you chose this young beautiful woman as your forever partner. I'm a little surprised at the $ you are looking to spend. Shop wisely (like u are) you should be able to get something very special and a boat that should allow you to grow into it! Little Des and Jordan's everywhere! LOL ....

@CacheCanada 3 года назад

Better boat so far but yeah you're right with the items you don't like. Nothing really the fault of the boat but more your needs. Thanks for the tour. That was fun. Kickstarter? How often do you get to go shopping for a boat with someone. Glad we could help.

@PlainStraightShooter 3 года назад

I believe you all hit the nail on the head. It is almost. Nice boat I admit. I also at 6'3 would have Jordan's same concern, If you had a main cabin with office area I could give and take on the nav station. Like Desiree was saying on the protection of the Nav station with the stove area right there. Hmm. I see possible issues with that, like that sneak attack. That sail ability I also would not like to well as you Jordan. Keep looking, it will be the most important decision you make and both of you have laid out what you want in a boat and the experience you have, Well Its not the one. Desiree, did you know Jordan was giving me private lessons on what works and what don't? lol. Take care and keep shopping and have fun.

When Jordan was checking out the anchor locker, I couldn’t help but notice that there was a large crack forming above the deck.

@findnoelwilliams 3 года назад

I would recommend looking at Bristol CC’s (center cockpits 41.1, 43.3, 45.5) in the 41-46 foot range. They have lots of advantages/features found in newer/modern boats. If you can find one that is well outfitted, it could be a great one to look at given the boxes you are looking to check.

@davida1679 3 года назад

Was very excited to see the 40 LRC for this video! If you don’t buy it, I may consider it? While cruising, I personally did all my charting on the main settee so I could completely roll out the charts, so the smallish nav station would never be a problem if it were me. The starboard settee being to short to use as a sea berth could be resolved by opening up a footwell into the locker? Seen many boats that are built this way. Operating an in mast roller furler? When putting the sail away, Just make sure to keep a lot of pressure on the outhaul as you operate the furling line. If the sail rolls up into the mast too lose, it can be very difficult to roll it out later. The sail gets bound up on itself while exiting the mast. You will lose some sail area with this system also because you cannot bring the sail all the way to the end of the boom. The outhaul tract and roller need space. You also won’t have any abilities to create sail shape. It works though, people have been using these sails for years. Can’t beat the tankage and cabin ventilations. As you know? Without a genset and air conditioning, good ventilation is the only way to sleep at night in the tropics. As you can see “Bud” I’m trying hard to sell this boat for Jordan lol. I would love nothing more than to see all the rest of your cruising videos as you circumnavigate using this boat. Im personally not ready yet for a few more years to do what your doing but would love to vicariously go cruising with you guys on this boat. Beware that I may downplay all the other boats as your choosing the right one for you? JK!! Love your channel and thanks again!

Just watched the video on my tv. Man these boats that jordan and desiree are looking at make me want to go sailing. Good luck on the hunt. You guys will come across the right one.

@wcvaughan 3 года назад

Are you guys at least considering catamarans? if the goal is raising a family, I'd think the space and stability would be a big advantage.

@steveturansky9031 3 года назад

I think this would be so much better also (but I'm a multihull loving guy). 3-4 cabins, 2 heads, large cockpit and salon on the level, plenty of solar possibilities and easy dinghy storage, great swim platforms for dinghy boarding and landing fish, redundant engines. I like 42-45' cats for cruising but you could do it with 38-40' easily (think Lagoon 380/Leopard 40). Far more space and you aren't hauling lead. The 80-90% of the time you are at anchor would be far more comfortable/enjoyable. Beam reaching and off the wind would be better but you would take a hit in upwind sailing. Just motor upwind and plan your passages accordingly.

@jugaloking69dope58 3 года назад

the cat i think would be the next evolution! they keep talking about ten years but if they keep this up in 5 they will be on the 3rd kid and really need that stability lol😍💘

@xabeque8 3 года назад

@@steveturansky9031 Its not in the $150,000 budget unless you are buying an older boat which would need plenty of work

@viarnay 3 года назад

the stability of catamarans is a myth

@rusmiller816 3 года назад

Cats are luxurious but don't offer the same sailing experience. They're floating condos. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not the same. Also stability in rough weather offshore is a problem.

Would be a great choice as a step up from Atticus. Roomy enough for a young family and a good solid cruiser. Will hold some value too.

@gwshute 3 года назад

Just a thought, Bobby White AKA "Sailing Doodles" has his CT 56 for sale. You might want to check it out for comfort. Right now it's not sailing and needs an over haul. He is got it up for sale, rather inexpensive (cheap) due to the last sail he had.

A place to keep your change

@CaptRon817 3 года назад

Just food for thought, and if you can locate one, take a look at an Amel brand. It is made for the ocean and boast the fact that different compartments are water tight one from the other should something happen and you take on water. As far as I know, this is the only family/crusing sailboat that has this feature. I follow a cruising couple with a baby here on youtube and they sail an Amel. Good boats!
