1. Congratulations. Beautiful boat. Agree about the 60's style.

2. Beautiful boat. Looks like a Perkins 4107 or 8 engine. I’ve stripped a ton of those. The perfect live aboard.

3. Hail yeah! nice boat!!…⛵

4. Okay, I'm in. I hit the subscribe button so I will always be one of your first 1000 subscribers. I love the boat, now tear it apart and keep us interested! lol congrats!…⛵⛵

5. Congrats on the new boat. I always loved the looks of these Seafarer 36s. Btw, I own a Dana 24, and that is how I came across your channel.

6. Sounds like you have deep pockets.

7. That's a lot more than I'd wanna bite off and chew. You're a better man than me.

8. Classic. Looks like a 69 mariner 32 i had. But this boat is mint.

9. Just found you and subscribed. I'm 2 years into rebuilding a Pearson Triton 28 that I paid $1k for with no rudder, so you can imagine . . . My theory is that the more you have to fix, the more you'll know how to fix. Hope to splash spring of 2024.. Then out the Golden Gate.
   Btw, that's not a chainplate. It looks like an exterior backing plate added as a repair. I'm moving all my chainplates to the outside. The best videos for that kind of work are on Atomvoyager. Free Range Sailing had a couple great videos on dyneema rigging during their refit in Tasmania.. The best videos I've found for pure fiberglass work are on Boat Works Today. hope that helps. Good luck! Thanks for sharing. Your planning videos are super helpful.

10. This looks identical to the boat my late father used to keep up at La Conner which the family sold in the early 2000's. Our whole family is tall and the generous headroom was a main feature along with the 'Tiny Tot' wood stove connected to the chimney. He and I took it up to the Queen Charlotte's (now Haida Gwaii) in 1984. With high winds and following seas there was very poor control due to the fact that the rudder was attached to the keel, instead of separately at the very stern for better leverage. Good luck with your adventures.

11. What a nice boat you know that's part of the fun is to make it your own. One day I will to have my own and have a blast fixing it.

12. Interesting article in Cruising World this month about chain plates.Great advice within! Like you say….you signed up for the work. You'll get there. Lovely sailing boat. Very practical layout.

13. Just by listening to your comments, it sound like you bought a wreck….lol

14. i owned the same boat and sailed her some thousands of miles through nice and extreme. had herr deck submerged more than once. she loved to sail. Phil Rhodes was a Master

15. I had a 1970 31" Seafarer Yawl. I had it for over 30 years and loved every minute of it. It was a Bill Tripp design and was built in N.Y. at the time Seafarer went belly up. It was almost finished when it was sent to Allied boat manufactory to be finished so it had a little different trim. It was registered as Allied Seafarer. I had to let her go because I required more Maintenace than my little lady De Javu. Enjoy your Lady and love her with all your heart.

16. Not blue water as a wave over the stern will flood the cabin just to name one thing. But still a cool boat congratulations.

17. Pretty damn clean for a 50 plus year old boat!

18. Congrats on the new 2 u boat

19. I'm impressed! It's a very nice boat and a great exciting project. Having said that, you got your work cut out for you (which of course is part of the fun). I'm setting out myself next year going from Guatemala to Europe. I'll subscribe and follow your adventure. Good luck!

20. Congrats on the new old boat :)… I did own Seafarer 24 for many years, it was very well built. And Rhodes knew how to design great hull… it went through water like a fish…. almost no wake :)…. Good luck and I look forward to see more from you.

21. Cool boat.

22. You have a very fun and accommodating Seafarer now, but looking at the C – Chain Plate and that bulging, I'm afraid to tell you that you are in for a much bigger project than you may know. In Fact, you may find that entire section of hull rotten and too far gone to be fixed correctly to achieve your goal of a Worldly Cruiser.
    I'm sure it can be patched/glassed up reasonably but you often find one bad spot leads to another and another until you find the money vs. value formula is very far upside down. If you are familiar with Jordan & Desiree in Atticus 1 ,, They rebuilt their Allied Seawind over a stretch only to later find rotten bulkheads as they prepared for a Pacific crossing. I honestly suggest patching up what you can and sailing her locally and having fun, but to invest all you have mentioned, i.e. Windvane and Lithium Batteries and Solar and new boom and replacing windlass system, fixing the wiring and through hull fittings and stove , ect ect , you are already in the 20k plus category. I'm going to venture and guess you paid around 4-5000$ for the boat initially ?? Well for 25k you could buy a turnkey Blue Water cruiser that is truly ready to safely make an ocean passage.
    Regarding a Wind Vane, aint nobody giving them away under ambassador promos, that I can assure you…. Check out Wave Rover channel, Alan sells plans to build a very affordable and great performing unit for under $500. I just sold a new old stock Sail O Mat 605 for $3000. Wind Vanes are not cheap.
    If you really hate that Boom furler, I'd but it or trade you for something you need more. I have been looking for that exact boom for a Cutter project i'm building.
    Lastly ,, keep in mind getting Insurance for your boat. To get legit insurance, you'll need a proper survey, and with those chain plate issues and valveless thru hulls, a survey that is favourable will be very difficult. I wish you luck by all means and speaking from many a year of experience ,, don't open your wallet too wide on that vessel or a refit.
    Fair Winds Friend.

23. Very cool boat! Good luck, I'm sure you will learn a lot and hopefully you enjoy her. Fixing up my boat, I concentrated on fixing what had to be done to safely use her first. Then as I used her started making mods and improvements that seemed best for me and my use. Doing it that way seemed to make me bond with the boat and enjoy her more. Have fun!

24. I think the diesel stove isnt too bad at all. You just need a new chimney. The piping and electrics should not be too much of a problem, just get the right gaskets. I would not change things that are not broken. Or get rid of stuff you dont have a replacement for yet. 2027 is a long time from now.

    Maybe the first thing to do it get the boat out of the water and put on new antifouling and check the underside of the ship. That way you know for sure the boat is going to last.

    Greetings,

    Jeff

25. What is the reading list on the table?

26. Note on "no valve" there is a cylinder valve attached to that forward through/hull but I did not see the valve lever attached to it. Those are good valves and very serviceable. Move slowly to assess what you have lest you replace good parts with mediocre parts. Congratulations on the purchase. My W32 is on the hard in Blaine right now. Doing the same prep work as you for a 5-7 year goal of sailing away. Will spend more time in the PNW cutting my teeth in these conditions while I update the rig. See you in the Salish 🤙🏼

27. Congratulations!! I had a dream last weekend and woke up thinking I had bought a boat, was stressing about how I'm going to pay for dock fees, winter storage, maintenance etc….and then I thought….wait, what boat? That's how much I'm thinking about it! I'm looking for exactly the same boat as you. Great videos btw.
    1. I'm pretty sure…that sea cock does have a valve, it's below the elbow, looks like the handle might've come off?
    2. Congratulations again!!! Awesome boat, you must be so excited!!! Can't wait for more videos:)

28. A nice roomy yacht

29. Nice boat!!!! Congratulations!!

30. When I bought my 33-footer, I know the feeling and emotions of the "new owner" Congratulations, see you in Tahiti (joking) nine months later we were in the water. Good luck.

31. How much did you pay? Swinomish has no emphasis on the O when pronounced by the way – just so ya know.
