I just bought a Great dane 28, my 1st sail boat, I am a Greenhorn. It's rough. But it came with a good diesel, all the sails I can wish for and a wind auto pilot as a surprise for a total 6000USD.

WOW!! Wish I could say the same. Mine came with a swift kick in the ass!! But hey life gives you what you need to make the next step. Fair Winds Sailor.

Bacon Sails! Great marine and sail shop for decent prices. They have used gear and they make custom sails.

Wow. We're neighbors. Ha. I have a Cal 24. I'm on the Magothy River at Fairwinds Marina near Annapolis.
Great videos and discussion.

Thanks for your awesome comment and info!

Yes, it is rare to find items like water makers, good SSB radio systems and wind vanes on used boats. I believe they are removed and sold on the side to mitigate some of the losses generally inherent with buying new and selling used. This is of course facilitated by the thin used gear market in those items. The 10% upkeep rule really is a variable. A 5000 dollar water maker for instance will not generally add 500 pr yr to the upkeep of a boat. Of course a LOT of those costs for upkeep can also be offset by the DIY owners.

from one jaapie to another jaapie best advice ever on getting yachting. went from being able to windsurf to delivering a 30 foot muria from CT to Sydney nonstop.great video !!

Spending money in no way equates with safety. The most expensive race boat can be operated beyond its operational capability.

What location will a boat bring the best price?

Steve's ArtOfSailing - 6 years ago

so freaken inspirational, i wish more sailors would talk as freely as you two do. lol, Annapolis, im on Middle river, hop skip and a jump

Steve's ArtOfSailing - 6 years ago

I did the very thing your talking about, every boat i looked at and was intterested in, i made an offer that bassically was 50% of the asking price. after a month or so, he excepted my offer, im so very happy with her. I honestly would rather have a boat that i can work on to fit my needs without having it loose resale value. its a 36 Catalina, the one in my avatar. by the way, i love your vids and channel, im a huge fan and always look forward to new vids. thanks.

Be careful here. Understand what a Bluewater boat is. There are some great deals, but do your homework.

Any cautions for buying used boats after the 2017 hurricane season? As you check each boat out, are the issues very apparent? If not, what are the most expensive to look for? I heard one of you say the East Coast is not a good market. I'm a Georgia boy, so where do you feel it is best to look? Thanks for the content- it is really phenomenal. P.S. Don't listen to him :)

mysoulwaits - 6 years ago

Sailing Miss Lone Star - Thanks for the tip :) FYI while I was checking around Craigslist and eBay I saw a 30' Cal :) Take care!

Sailing Miss Lone Star - 6 years ago

mysoulwaits look for rot and delimitation also check the bulk heads. Rest is easy to fix!

Ok youre right and wrong. Youre right you can buy a boat cheap. But you cant have a boat and be cheap.

I love eBay and cregslist I just bought a boat (small dingy 14 foot) off cregslist good prices and good boats on those websites there my favorite things

Chuck Rothy - 6 years ago

I have been here from the beginning. Still enjoying the videos BUT, in your intro, you say that you fixed this boat "all by yourself". C'mon,, we all know you had "some" help. I know you may have done the majority but give credit where credit is due. A tour of her inside and out would be nice as well. :-)

Harleydog 1996crownline - 6 years ago

LOJO Marine - 6 years ago

What a great video thank you so much what I plan on doing while I am floating down the loop is stop at every marina and look for sail boats for sale I am looking so forward to getting out there if I could I would leave right now but I have to get my motor put on and wait for the river to thaw out. I am enjoying working on the boat and love the planning of this trip I read some other comments and have to ask are you guys a couple.

Hugh Van Duyn cool, I'm south from the Myrtle Beach SC area down to FL later on and can maybe lend a hand. I'm helping a guy do some bright work on a boat to make some funds for the future journey, plus learning to work on mine.

tommays56 - 6 years ago

While I am a fan as I’m a fixer of old boats currently keeping a 1970 29 and 35 foot boat in good safe condition your really leaving out the big issue of insurance and the fact that you can’t get insurance without a passing a survey and none of these boats would pass a survey

On the 29 I had to move the boat to land I owned and work 18 months without any type of insurance as when it was a 500 dollar boat it had far to many issues and as a Cal 29 owner I know all to well were all the warts are as things like the original fuel tank your using to fuel the outboard will not meet current requirements

Sailing Miss Lone Star - 6 years ago

tommays56 hi... Geico gave me insurance right away!

Fredrick Rourk - 6 years ago

Big Tip allways be ready to sell your current boat. Opportunity is allways there. Old racing boats. They beg you to take it away. Small cramped quarters. No one is going to buy it.

Fredrick Rourk - 6 years ago

Lot of salvage opportunity right now in the Caribbean.

Stanley Graves - 6 years ago

"Safety" is relative. Not sailing would be safer. But...where is the fun in that?

Based mostly on MY skill level (which is MUCH less than yours)...I would feel comfortable on a similarly equipped boat for coastal cruising and some carefully timed overnight passages. *I* would not take that boat on a blue water crossing. But others have, and others will, and it can be done "safely." Maybe when I learn more... ;) .

Ok so I have always been a small motor boat person because I love to fish. Currently only own a 1992 Yamaha jet ski that I fish from. So I have spent a lot of time around the docks over the years. Are you really sure you want to tell people to just go do it. HAHAHAHAA So Funny, I can see it now. Like on the old Batman tv show.. Bam,,, Pow,, Smash,,,,, Crash,,,,,

We have a PayPal account which I am trying to figure out how to add a "button" for but here is the link paypal.me/misslonestar Please email me at misslonestaradevnture@gmail.com if you need any advice, I would be HAPPY to help. xx Aubs

Don B. - 6 years ago

Interesting conversation. Some good advice and some not so good. For viewers thinking of buying a boat or getting into sailing, take the advice given in this video and place it in context with the rest of your research. Aubrey has made this work for her and I applaud her for that. For my first sailboat I did things a little differently, which doesn't make me right, just different. The important take a way here is if you want to go sailing you can.

Stay away. Only a doos would trade you for a Swan :-) Every liveaboard smells funny. Wouldn't be any point in living on a boat otherwise! Tell him :
"Haai doos, ek gat jou ma vertel dat jy nie met my wil trou nie, dus gaan ek jou in die hol skiet met my pa se haelgeweer. "

Should change his tune :-)
