THIS WILL GO FAST!! $6,900 USD for a loaded Paceship 26 sailboat for sale!!  

It’s a Yanmar 30hp which is big for this smaller boat. It only has 200hrs on it as well… and somehow we managed to forget to pop the hood on it. Good catch!! Thanks

@@YachtHunters Thank you Sir. What an honor to speak to you. I love your videos of you and Rande. You are funny and very wise. All the best and greetings from Germany. Would love to buy the boat but travel is still restricted because I don´t took the jab. Again, all the best.

Best of luck for you finding your Perfect Boat!

We’re working on getting the dodgers back as well

Let’s hope it’s just the toes that get wet when you dip them over the leeward rail… cheers FF!!

You might be slightly biased! 😉 Ray Hunt/Jihn Deknatel knew how to draw up a fast design. Congrats on owning a really great boat 👍

Our pleasure! We agree! Thanks Matt

Or both. The answer would be whether there is a socket to the side for the other end of the autopilot.

The autopilot can be seen in the v berth on the port ledge. 21:20

Great to have an owner endorsement… seems like a fantastic bang for the buck!

Thanks, Rick! Cheers to you

glad to keep you inspired.... just have to have the right timing to make it happen. cheers!

Cool… did you get some good results?

@@YachtHunters TBH, we were mid-table most weekends. with an occasional top 3. But having raced for 20+ years on all manner of boats, it was far and away the most fun crew I ever sailed with 🙂.

That locker where the shower resides is a clue to the outboard option. It is not enclosed, but rather has the wooden grate on its face, to be used as a well-ventilated locker for gas cans.

Would make a nice little FL pocket cruiser… not too much teak to get sizzled in the sun. Cheers, Louis!

We’re thinking about some upcoming ballroom competitions… 😂

We’re planning like they are on their way… time to provision!

Very cool! thanks for sharing! cheers

Maybe some other viewers of ours will speak up and crew for you?!?!

@@YachtHunters that would be nice. Or, offer to take it off my hands.

@@melinda5777 what body of water do you normally sail on? If it’s close enough I would be willing to help you go out.

Thanks Andrew!

I own one of these awesome boats. For sale

Glad you enjoyed it!

that was one of the best deals we've shown.. lovely Canadian craft ;)

And it’s not so little for this pocket craft 😉 thanks, much appreciated 👍

Thanks so much! ❤️

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you

You got that right! 👍👍

Great insight… hope you have a blast this spring! Thanks for the note!

Maybe try sunset shots over the ocean… a few pics of dolphins and whales splashing around … a rum cocktail or Prosecco photo from the cockpit might slowly sway her?

Thank you, mike

I also own an O'day 25. I am sure you saw a lot of similarities. Mine is the more popular centerboard version, and so the mast is deck-stepped for better trailerability.

Great way to put it… it’s grown up!

Thanks, Karen!

Well said! Cheers Adma!

Thanks! Glad you enjoy those!

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks so much!

You will be limber from all the yoga and limbo sessions

Cheers, mark!

You are probably correct, though the aft end of that space is taken by the locker with the shower we saw in the cockpit.

😂

It was available as of yesterday so you never know… the broker could tell you if you’re interested. Cheers

I own one of these awesome boats. For sale

Absolutely 👍

If it was 32 feet it would be perfect .

You bet! thanks for watching. cheers

wow.... 8hp seems reasonable for that size boat... unless you need to waterski behind it! Lovely to hear from an owner of one so thanks for stopping by!

With a water skier in tow! 😉

Agreed 👍

It would be perfect for that… that’s a great vision… make it happen!

Good point! There is a connection between that scupper and the transom thru-hull just in front of the rudder… it would be interesting to see if there’s a hose there… seems like almost too short of a run…

I have an O’day 25 and have the same problem with the scupper. A poor execution of a good idea. It took me many hours, epoxy and grinding to rework it into a serviceable system.

@@YachtHunters If it exits the scupper horizontally, it might be a long throughhull.

Agreed… good point… and it’s only got 200hrs on it

Oops. It was unusually hot and sometimes we go brain dead in the sun. Check the listing there may be a still photo of it in there.

We’d love to road trip but no plans currently… too many boats in New England to get to first… but there’s good supply down your way! We need more days in the week 👍

@@YachtHunters well, there’s a nice hot bowl of dinty moore waiting for you on Sea Fever if you make it here.

Those yard guys didn’t stop their work in order for us to film… if you can believe that?!? 😉 yeah the big items are the engine and sails… some of the other electronics being 10 years old might have depreciated down from that $75k… but she’s nearly ready to splash in from what we see… just tidy up that keel and go. Thanks for the note!

@@YachtHunters Maybe those yard guys are grinding fiberglass to make payments on a Silverado pickup truck. That could make you mad at the world. I quit my real job and moved to the beach way before I was allowed to. I worked with a guy that had an addiction to farming. I have done some farm work in my life but, I was able to walk away. He asked me why I liked the ocean. I said it's kind of like the feeling you can have for your land but, with land you always see something you need to work to change. The ocean you aren't going to change. When the worries of a boat get to you, it's just that tiny space on a huge ocean. You are right about that sailboat. A little bit and you can go a long time and a long way. If the Martins, Dave and later Jaja and later Chris and later Holly can sail full time on a Cal 25, what is possible for this boat? Geez, Holly Martin has sailed to the other side of the world on a Grinde 27. I don't know how a Paceship 26 compares to a Grinde 27 but, I do believe I'd take the Paceship.

Good eye… there was definitely a fitting for a tiller extender but at the end of the tiller it seemed to be a pin for the auto pilot arm

@@YachtHunters Ah, I missed that! The fact that the socket that you pointed out was off center in the tiller (offset to starboard) sort of makes sense for a tiller-pilot (autopilot) more than for a hiking stick, since the tiller pilot usually does connect about that distance from rudder end of tiller. I’ll have to watch the video again, and look for the other socket. Always enjoy your sometimes humorous, always insightful reviews of these boats! Keep’em coming!

agreed!! well said, SV Odyssey!! cheers!

😉😂

Yes.. it looks like YachtWorld redirects traffic to the sold listing automatically. This one is up in Toronto

Interesting… we’ll definitely take a look.. AMF gobbled up so much back then. Hope you are enjoying your paceship!

Michele Stevens sailmakers in Lunenburg has the patterns for all Paceship boats AFAIK. My Paceship has crisp Stevens sails. This is to say that, if you buy some old Paceship, Michele can cut new sails.

@@brentsutherland6385 Do you own this same model? I own a P2-20 (#16) that was made in December of '72 in Nova Scotia.

@@scyz2807 I have a P-17, but I am familiar with the P-20.

we're currently out of stock on our merch store... but will try to get some in in the next month -- www.etsy.com/shop/CaptainQYachtHunter

That would be a great trip… cheers, chuck!

Probably not worth it to ship... but maybe to sail it back home??? ;)

Not yet

A Shannon or kraken

@@geraldhowse8597 LOL. For someone relatively experienced, this boat could certainly go around the world. There are many bigger, better, more well equipped boats for the inexperienced, but no doubt this could cross oceans safely. To make the trip? Wind Hippie Sailing (YT) is doing a circumnavigation in a comparably sized boat with less than this one has. Sam Holmes as well. If I were going to do something like that in this boat, I'd be looking at fresh water and fuel tankage. I'd make sure the standing rigging was rock solid, or replace it. Probably replace all running rigging. Some sort of wind-vane self-steering. Given how small that rudder is, I'd honestly have another fabricated and stowed for back-up. The Paceship I raced back in the day snapped the rudder. It was all our fault, but the thing snapped in half right below the water line. Having a backup would be trivial. I might throw a little more battery on their, and then some sort of solar panel (there are already davits) or other generative device to keep the batteries topped up. The crazy thing about this boat is everything I mentioned might clock in at $25,000(US) max. So, as someone else pointed out, a young couple with $30.000 could have an eminently sea-worthy boat with practically brand-new everything, cut-their teeth on a journey south to the Caribbean, and there is no limit from where to go next.

well said, Jeff! Wind vane steering would be tops on our list... as well as a solar panel or two... Jeff is spot on with the other items. cheers

Thanks very much!

Good eye! It is

It is versatile enough to be both! 😂

We’re keeping our eye out! They tend to sell before we get to them!

Great point! Also the carrying costs on a smaller boat really drop down to reasonable levels… the best advice is to “not wait” to go sailing. Cheers

Excellent question… you might have to check with the listing broker on that one. We didn’t get to dig too deep around the holding tank to spot one..
