WOW! HUGE 60FT WORLD CRUISER - Gulfstar 60 Sailboat for sale  

Thanks Des, coming to you this Sunday… finally! Thanks for checking in

@@YachtHunters dang, Randay goin' hard at 4:15 ! 3 ft of snow....ill leave my windows down. respect! ;]

Scott and his crew died of exhaustion, malnutrition and hypothermia on returning from walking to the South Pole. Brutal way to die.

Agreed.

Shackleton was born 30 mins down the road from me at impressive Kilkea Castle in County Kildare. He was upper crust Anglo-Irish. His most valued crewmember was Tom Crean, who came from a farming background in County Kerry. Crean and Shackleton were two incredible Irishmen from both ends of the social spectrum.

Please include history of mustache, as well.

Check out our earlier episode where we did a Q&A… it might answer some questions for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CaVQIhKS2ew.html

Yes, I appreciated that episode and now requesting MORE.

as far as race was concerned he had no use...for colored

I kind of followed the motorsailors. They went down to near junk value but then people discovered them as live aboards and the price has climbed ever since. Did'nt know or forgot they made a pure sailor. The prices on these old boats in the NE seem pretty high maybe beyond loan value.

Yeah some pretty smart tips to pick up on, right?

Our fans are the best… what can we say? 👏

We have a 44CC too - that we are redoing. Any good sources of info you have found?

@@raybalaster8024 just fb groups… I’m on them.

Thanks, George! Keep the dream alive! Those are some testing waters you’ve been in

Thanks, Brent! We save the chaos for when the cameras are off 😂

Think lots of money.

Part of our early crew… great to see your name pop up Kathleen!

Pretty cool, right? Thanks!

Don’t know that ditty but I might give it the david Niven try

@@YachtHunters Jimmy Buffet Pencil Thin Mustache

Thanks very much, Eric! Glad you’re liking it

Lots of old gizmos to maintain. Very suspicious of Perkins motor. Are they still in business?

Also the Schaffer rig does not say quality to me.

Thank you

One of the best stories there ever was

That is a decent weighting system you’ve devised 😂

Always intrudes on salon space which is not good.

The Schaffer system is a premium product - not to mention the double Schaffer furlers… that’s some very expensive and quality gear on board

@@YachtHunters Any experience with how this boat performs under sail? I managed a Gulfstar 50 ketch for a bit. Easy to single-hand.

This Sunday, my friend!

@@YachtHunters awesome. Can't wait to see her 👍😎✌️

Glad to have you aboard, Alan!!

Don't like the moustache, bad memories for me. Maybe in cold weather they're OK.

she really is and one of Gulfstars crowning achievements in my book

Has to be careful else it gets caught in the mustache

They serve a great many people in many ways as floating beach homes or winter getaways , but I personally find them visually offensive and unseaworthy and claustrophobic. They do nothing for my soul and that’s what sailing is all about We might do one when we finish off all the mono Hulls Thank you for asking and watching

@@YachtHunters ahh, okay. I did not realize you had such strong feelings against them. I was just curious. No worries, I will keep watching for the monohulls!

@@YachtHunters The luxury SUV’s of sailing. 😆

I would have thought the older boats would have solid cores and be very heavy.

@@rogersmith7396 I suppose they are heavier than the super lightweight newer boats but with a Displacement/Length ratio of 237.35 and a Sail/Displacement ratio of 16.51 the Gulfstar 60s would be considered on the light side of MODERATE. (For comparison, the well thought of Valiant 40s have a D/L ratio of 267 and a S/D ratio of 15.85) .All that size and weight on a Gulfstar translates into a much more comfortable motion at sea (Comfort Ratio is an excellent 44.47) and the Capsize Screening Formula is about as good as I've ever seen at 1.64. Those beat the pants of the newer boats, as does the ability of the Gulfstar to survive impact with a reef or shipping container.

That why we are doing this

We did. Red the articles saw the evening news snippet. 10000 ft down Can’t recover documentary in thexwotks thank you for thinking of us

@@YachtHunters she was still on beautiful shape. The helm and even the rear name board were pristine.

This is a fine idea… we may give it a shot

🙄🙄

@@YachtHunters Thanks guys. I really appreciate your channel

Good point

It’s been a while but I believe it has been. Actually I know it has been I have a set of vhf tapes on it And there have been a number of documentaries as well

🤪🙄

@@YachtHunters I learn something everyday.. 👍👍👊👊

Well said, Kenneth! You'd be quite comfortable on something this sizable

@@YachtHunters --- thanks for your highliting my comment and for your reply. I spent 40 yrs of my life living, growing up from birth until I was 30 yrs old, living no further than a mile or two of and in Marina Del Rey and the flanking beaches. I knew and know a lot of people who live(d) on boats as small as 25 and 30 ft alone, and also a couple of families with two and three kids that lived on boats, both sail and power yachts in the 80 ft or more size. The cost can be very high in some cases and sometimes it can be less expensive than buying property. But, as you know very well, upkeep/maintenance of even a small sailboat, say a 30 ft Catalina can still be a lot of work and can keep your bank account on the lower end of wealthy. Most of the people who live full-time on a boat don't do it for very long. Being that I'm single, no ex wife, no kids, have my own business that I make into six figures without working every day of the week, I could afford to buy and live aboard a boat like this. But, I would have to hire some help. I'm definitely able to do a lot of work as far as maintenance,, I've been an electrician for over 30 yrs, I've always worked on my cars and motorcycles as much as I am able to, I grew up around all kinds of boats but never owned one and I barely know how to sail, one of my friends in Jr high and high school was allowed to take the 30 ft Newport any time it was available and we would ride our bikes to the marina and go sailing once a month or so, but I wouldn't know how to skipper a boat like this. The most experience I have navigating a vessel in the ocean is paddling and or steering a 40ft long by 18 inch wide, 18 inch deep Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe. I was part of a semi pro team for a few years. Just as challenging or more so, but in different ways than piloting a large boat. Thank you for showing that beautiful boat in this video. I do have one question still... How much of that unfinished work will be finished before selling and what isn't getting finished? In other words, will that boat be turnkey or will there still be a need to throw more money into making her a reliable, seaworthy, and livable vessel?

I will guess $2000 or more per month. I guess thats CA. cheap.

@@rogersmith7396 ---- I backed out of that purchase. There was no slip offered with the boat. And there is a one to two year waiting list at any So Cal marina for a live aboard slip and the rent is almost $5k a month

@@13_13k So as bad as I thought. Can you get a loan on an old boat like that? Insurance can be a problem. I have an Oceanis 390 at Lake of the Ozarks, formerly in Ft. Lauderdale. Have paid as little as $100 per month with electric water, and wifi and trash. Maybe keep it in Mexico?

Depends wether hes talking boat hulls or dog 🐕 sled teams. Edit Yes it means the bow is wide and deep so it doesnt bury itself into a wave ..so you don't cut into a wave or neither is it so blunt it will pound down as the bow falls back after being lifted.

I think he means that when the boat falls into a wave trough, it falls gently and soft as compared to a slapping hard fall.

It's to control moisture, but I always heard that it's dangerous because if it will generate heat and possibly self-ignite when it warms up.

Moisture ....Passive Control mostly...though it might also absorb some smells as well.

@@richardm7972 Not heard of that happening with charcoal but it can happen with wood dust and shavings.. compost reaction generates heat if it gets damp..

@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 yeah I've heard the same thing, when I heard about charcoal. Definitely worth looking into further.

We couldn’t find the Onan!! We’d love to take her out and see how she feels in the water… hopefully, we’ll be able to do a little more of that when it warms up

@@YachtHunters she was under a discrete hatch in the saloon I believe from the photos from the broker.

Good to know… and for others to know. Thanks

Great idea

Trying to.
