1. HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THE "VALLEY OF FIRE"??? This is my friend Jenny hiking through the most beautiful but SCARY parts of the US desert! Great video! Hit like and subscribe to her cause she's a badass! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xclXXym-24

2. A well equipped vessel with regard to safety is not based on skipper’s skill set or experience. Lots of bad can happen in blue skies and calm sees.

3. Tim – you had me at the Pearson. Best of the group, I say.

4. These were all very good choices, about the only one I would add (like others have suggested) is any version of the Morgan 38. The Morgan 38s all have the advantage of being able to get in at just about any price point depending how much work you want to do to get it up to blue water cruising status. What I think is in important in this type of single handed sailing is what the boat needs to be a single handed boat. Things like a reliable autopilot and an anchor windlass. You could do a whole series on solo sailing, what it takes for a boat go out solo. There are also lots of video bloggers who are essentially solo sailors documenting their adventures in boats from a 20 foot Flicka up to a 40 foot custom steel ketch. Some people who do the solo thing have riders or companions at times that don't participate much in actual crewing, but are happy to come along for the adventure. So there are reasons and situations for a lot of different boats. You could do a whole series on solo cruising boats, but what would be informative would be to discuss what it takes to make a boat in a whole category of seaworthy vessels into a solo cruiser with the inevitable trade offs in comfort, performance and safety.

5. Enjoyed the episode, thanks for posting

6. Funny coincidence. I was JUST looking at the Alberg. I'm moving to Loreto, Mexico this summer and am wanting to buy a boat somewhere in the Sea of Cortez or further south on the Mexican mainland. La Paz always seems to have a nice selection of boats across all price ranges and boat types.

7. Great video!

8. David Ross – I am the big regret personified. I sailed some when I was young, and younger, but am too old now – and regret missing the opportunity.

9. One thing not mentioned about the Alberg 37- it will be extremely seakindly compared to many boats out there. A factor all too frequently overlooked!

10. I'm watching your videos every day, but this one made me a cheap guy. 😆 I'm a beginner and I'm getting a 1985 Catalina 30 for 10k. Good job Tim! Thank you for your great information ⛵️

11. Always have an EPIRB it is not a toy.

12. I think if I had $40k to spend, I'd go with something like a 2000 or newer Hunter in the 31 to 33 foot range. Probably just as roomy as these larger older boats and everything is more up to date.

13. Thoughts on Island Packet SP Cruiser?

14. What do you think of a Beneteau Oceanis 351 any good
    Thanks for vlogs 👍

15. Hugo the "sailing frenchman" bought a 26 ft Ecume de mer for the symbolic price of a beer (5 euros maybe) , then he prepared the boat and sailed the mediterranean sea, then crossed the atlantic and wandered in the caribbean with . I also know a man who sailed around the world for 8 years or so with this boat. All is possible

16. Great video

17. I have a small IP (32 foot) and was expecting a shout out. I suppose you can’t cover everything 😅

18. It also depends where and how you are going to sail. I just got my first boat for solo raicing/cruising. It's terrifying and exciting at the same time.

19. Yes you can go sailing on the cheap but there is price to pay for everything. The cheaper you go, the more repair, refit and drama you will encounter. Everything on a boat has a short lifespan. If it is more then 20 years old, it will need to be replace or rebuild at one point soon. Bring a good toolbox, you will use it every week.

20. I live in the town of Bayfield and worked for the builder in the mid eighties. Still a great boat and yes , they are all over the world.

21. Westsail 32. It will always get you thrre

22. Back when I was learning to design boats, I calculated the water plane needed to carry two people and supplies for three months. For an average aspect ratio this came out to be a LWL of about 30 ft. (Actually the number was 29.2 ft but I rounded it up because of the range of aspect ratios.) So for a long range cruising boat I look for a LWL of 30 to 33 ft. To my mind LWL is more important than LOA.

23. Ooohh yep..m our budget is diferent… hahahah

24. Solo over 9000nm on the east coast USA for last 6 years. Sold the 35' Beneteau and went… Smaller. Way more fun. Less is more. I had to make modifications to this Tartan 28, like adding a shower. But no pressure water or water heater. This is more fun and cost less than 1/3 what I paid for last season.
    That Niagara 35 though…. Hmm….

25. What would you recommend to someone with a bit more money who does want to make trans-oceanic voyages and who can afford such things as a water maker, genset, etc. but still wants to keep the cost from being too crazy?

26. I bought a cheap steel sailboat. Incredible value for money, and came with everything.

27. The topic I've been waiting for!

28. These are some great boats but sadly I'm more in the Vega or Macwester 27 range financially :). These would be great second boats, the first one was gorgeous. I think 32 foot is a nice size too for the budget constrained sailor. It's a nice amount of space compared to a 27 footer but not quite large enough to fall into the price category of 35+ foot boats. There's some nice Skandinavian boats in that range that aren't too expensive with large production runs. Like Comfort 30 for instance.

    Edit ah the last boat is just like that. Maybe a touch nicer but one that needs a fair amoubt of companionship with an angle grinder might be up my alley.

29. 1972 Bristol 34. Lots of blood, sweat and tears, some upgrades and we are very safe and comfortable for around $24k. An epirb and good dinghy is fine for the Caribbean. We chose and older boat because they were made to a much higher standard than newer models. 15 years later we are still happily sailing the old girl and ready to embark on a much longer Caribbean journey.

30. Something to think about,,
    1)
    Buy the boat you need now, not what you want to do sometime in the future.
    2)
    The sales guys from the production boat companies want you to think that you need a long boat, preferrable one of theirs.
    3)
    You often really don't want a long boat for the kind of stuff you want to do with your boat, e.g. day sailing, maybe a weekend. You can have an equal amount of fun in a small boat compared to a larger boat. Moreover, everything is cheaper on a smaller boat. Smaller engine, smaller sails, smaller tiller-pilot – the list goes on and on.

    4)
    Be clever with the interior, Think in 3D space and let things have multi-use functionality. One can use fabric instead of much heavier things constructed using wood.
    5)
    Want place for more books, galley equipment? : Make shelves on the inner side of cupboard doors.

31. All spikey boats with keels lemsteaak is my perfect boat.

32. Mini transats have got rid of the spikey bow and are thrashing everything.

33. I've been obsessed with sailing for the last couple years. This video was invaluable thank you. Gonna start looking for Bayfield listings now haha

34. A live-aboard for one. Heck, I'm about ready to sell the house and move into a boat at that price…in dry dock. No property taxes, just rent. Add a few more solar panels maybe. There's plenty of storage room. in that extra berth

35. I'm a little late to this one but hear me out. I'm spoiled and stingy. I'm spoiled because I live in Texas and they are giving away boats all along the coast frequently. So many people get into sailing and then just want out of that slip fee because they don't use the boat. I turned away a nice Bayfield 32 last year for $4000. She was ready to sail with a working engine and AC. I am looking for something I can retire on in the 40 foot range. I'm also an engineer so I'd prefer to rework the entire boats electrical and plumbing. I do like the aft cabins and I do like the sugar scoops but finding those for cheap are near impossible. You tend to end up with the old IOR boats or full keeled 70's boats. I'll find something before too long. Until then, I have my Nacra 570.

36. Greatest video so far!! You're Right ON

37. https://youtu.be/rGrnrEQuy6o
    What’s your opinion on these cheap buy sail boat auction . Is there an advantage to refurbish and replace some hardware? What are the pro and con? Cheers 🍻

38. Personally I think think every one out at sea wether it be on the Great Lakes never loosing sight of land or island hopping should have at least a personal epirb they only cost a couple hundred bucks
    Also what’s your opinion on the Morgan Out Island I know these were made in different lengths but specially the 41’er

39. Very informative!

40. Thank you for your advice! I'm currently 2 years in a van full time but would like to start transferring to cruising!

    This helps alot with the money side but do you have any videos to help with someone who has never sailed that wants to experience this lifestyle?

    Thanks for the videos! 🙌🔥

41. How much would the safety items cost? 2-3 grand?
