1. i shall look forward to the next boat tours.

2. At least you never bought the uncredible hulk

3. If you are keen to do 35-38’ there is a pretty solid looking nic38 for sale on the south coast whose price has been dropping slowly and it looks like some of the big ticket items such as standing rigging have been addressed. You could hit coral in that without issue lol

4. Well, at least you are looking at vessels to live on in this episode instead of massive carpentry projects. I'm personally fond of the pilot house idea for a liveaboard, especially considering the amount of time spent on anchor. Just looks like a practical answer to living comfortably at sea with a monohull.

5. Very ambivalent about the first boat! While it floats, its so dingy makes one think there may be lots of hidden defects! On-the-other-hand, the last boat while smaller, seems solid!

6. You have been speaking about Warren , please look at that option before buying

7. If its the right one its the right one.

8. Thinking i would consider maybe going Stateside if i wanted seek out affordable well maintained large Blue Water boat, as others pointed out one in general see some serious history /supporting documentation regarding how craft have been maintained over the recent years, that History should be there if you're going to buy… even a grind down of the Decks and a re -coat of Pigmented Topcoat and anti Slip, coupled with a strip off of the varnish , buff off and varnish of the Toe rails and a Polish the bright work would have shown that a boat had some Love externally and a good spruce and paint and Polish inside, as for a boat Survey that would always be a SERIOUS Bargaining Chip and give you a better overview of the condition of any craft, if you're buying of anything, one would get a Mechanical report on a Motor Car, before parting with your hard earned few Grand, never mind multiples of same, good luck with your search…

9. You could afford that westerly, Cheaper to run & you could easily sail round the atlantic circuit in it. Then further if you want. Why buy a big boat & stick a wright around your neck

10. I don’t know where you are but I’m in Essex and that Colvic is a bargain

11. Who is the duck in the bottom RH corner at the end? We need names.

12. Ketch. Extra expense !!! It is not the thickness of the fibreglass do much but it is the design of that boat that matters. S&S were masters but all good designers left to join others or start afresh.

13. Where is his wife

14. Buy the boat. Dont second guess. You felt it is the right one. It is.

15. So what’s happened to his woman have they broke up ? Hope not

16. Have to watch out for headliners and the keel bolts on Westerley’s. Great watching your adventures Mark good luck! Remember us at Vliho with the crazy collie!

17. You can pick those things up where I come from for free all day long possibly pay a few months slip fees that are late worst-case scenario.

18. Hope you enjoyed Cardiff Bay Yacht Club, we’re based there, when we were looking for our next yacht, Keith showed us several all different types so we could get a feel for what we wanted, very knowledgeable! Good luck in the search!

19. Man you seem desperate. Asking someone if you could buy, man decide and keep going WTF. What a lame video. Unfollowed!

20. Hi Mark. Been following your channel for years now, your enthusiasm is infectious! Good luck with the search and look foreword to your next adventures.
    If you return to Cardiff and need a place to crash let me know.

21. Goes around… comes around, right? Take your time to get it right this time.

22. Having owned sailboats for 35 years, one immutable fact governs buying any boat: There is absolute no such thing as a "cheap boat". That is an oxymoron only morons believe. You either pay for it at the front end (by paying more for a well found & well maintained boat), or you will pay for it at the back end (buying a cheap boat needing lots of work to bring it up to favorable condition).

23. G-Day .. been following along for several months now. I have a 43' steel hulled yacht here in Sydney Australia. It's been a massive project for me to get her back in the water. A fair amount of rust to be cut out and welded in new plate. It's a Van-De-Stadt . Anyways take your time in choosing your project & make sure to throw a ridiculously low price at the seller. You'd be surprised… they might just bite. Yo know a shit load about boats now & the amount of effort to bring a terribly neglected vessel back to life. The more time out of the water means $ you're throwing into the wind. Don't forget to check those sails

24. @3:25 "I'm not going to get a surveyor again, I've never had a surveyor before". What the hell?

25. You never used the radar, have you never been anywhere?

26. I'd believe that boat is an S&S design when I see the actual drawings stamped S&S. If it really is, I don't think the yard in Durban did a great job following the plans, because that boat misses the "S&S look" by quite a bit. You could always call S&S in Newport, Rhode Island – they keep records on every design they ever did. Also, that engine from a brief glimpse looks more like a 4-236 than a 4-108. Actually a better engine in my opinion, and the extra power makes gives her motorsailer capabilities. Don Casey's book is pretty good – if you aren't going to hire a surveyor, then you should do the survey yourself, including hauling the boat for an inspection on the hard. It's not rocket science, and yards usually have a special price to haul, sit in the slings for a couple hours, and splash. Don't buy a boat without seeing it out of the water.

27. You wanted suggestions 😉 Ask your long-suffering father and do what he tells you.

28. S&S are good boats but do uou need such a big boat for you alone?

29. Hi Mark been following you for years if you ever get stuck and need a place to stay in Plymouth you can stay on my boat any time good luck

30. I got a 20k boat my profile picture for 1500 pounds

31. Alan John is how much?

32. Get Back and buy the S&S 42…

33. Go for it get a boat you can sale rather than tear part completely and just do little projects as you go

34. I used to own an S&S 42 like this, however, it was in much better condition. Solid GRP for sure but if you proceed further, do check every skin fitting above and below the waterline very carefully. I took on a lot of water in rough seas through the anchor locker drains that were badly designed. It was an easy boat to sail single-handed. Comfortable and no slamming with such a hull design. A good long term budget cruiser but inspect every detail of the assembly and equipment installation.

35. Go for it… Buy the Pirate ship. Steer clear of the big projects and get back on the water.

36. Have you thought of buying abroad ? Lots of yachts been left in the Caribbean islands Mexico and the USA which have been left by their owners due to change of plans. I was sailing back from Antigua, stopped of at the Azores Horta and a dutch guy bought a dirt cheap yacht from Caribbean.

37. I think this boat is not the fastest sailer, one of those 6 knop average speed… If one has the time it is the best way to sail..

38. When it comes to sailboats it is never ever "ready to go".

39. Unless the seller is absolutely honest about boat history, you really don't know what you have until you peel away the paint and antifouling from the hull and keel, rudder, skeg. Must remove all thruhulls and re-bed IMHO. MUST remove rudder, check bearings, voids in rudder, skeg; if stern tube looks iffy, must remove to check for cracks, leaks. And that is just the hull. The keel may also be hiding damage from groundings, blisters, voids not properly filled in, rusted keel bolts, microscopic cracking of the laminate. Must use moisture meter to check hull and deck. All of this should be done When refitting a newly purchased used, old sailboat. The mast, chainplates, standing rigging also needs to be thoroughly checked. Everything else is generally cosmetic. All of this of course is just my opinion, and like they say, everyone's got one, and always stinks. Lol.

40. The yard where you will be putting it on the hard for you, can they lift it ?, and it's not too large ? (The wise 25 can). Heavy boats are better. Perkins generally have a long life (and parts obtainable). Buy something that has been used recently (not standing still rusting stuck). Old simple and repairable can be good. It should have almost everything you want long term, if not it's gonna be expensive long term (buying everything you want). If you're gonna bring ladies or children, size matters (don't go too small). Wood glaced in can be rotten and cause huge jobs. Storage space !. Tanks not rusty / leaking ?. Access to engine/mechanics for repairs ?, easy to get engine (or tanks) out ?. A good engine is one that has been in regular use.

41. Hay.

    Just wondering if you have seen anything on the sailing wave rover channel.

42. I do think you are making the right decision to not rush in, like a lot of the other comments there are lots of other boats, so something else will pop up. The more you look the more you will know when you find the right one. But a boat in this type of condition is what you need to look for. You can live and sail it now and fix up as you go. Stretching your budget a bit up front will absolutely save you money down the road. I would focus more on something close to 36 foot. As single hand sailor it will be easier to sail, easier to maintain and docking fees will be less. Always temping to get something bigger but 36 feet is still huge inside. Good luck

43. If I wanted a blue water cruiser – and I know I was going to solo sail it, I wouldn't go larger than 36 ft. – larger than that could quickly become unmanageable.

    You would also need to consider maintenance cost as well as marina fees. Most importantly is that a bigger boat also means a lot more time spending on maintenance work than sailing.

    You probably already know that for each few ft smaller boat, the price of the boat and maintenance cost is halved.

    The reason is that everything (other than electronics) is smaller: Smaller engine, smaller sails, smaller winches, and the list goes on and on.

    A smaller boat is also more lightweight, so its less expensive to go serial hybrid, which is: Genset and/or battery -> electric motor and hotel load.

    Serial hybrid will save you about 40% fuel (diesel) because there're no longer a – prop to motor – RPM and torque mismatch.

44. As others suggest I would be looking at mid 30's foot(ish) for mostly singlehanded – if it were me I'd be looking for the best Nic 32/Rival 32/34 or similar if you're really on a budget or Vancouver 32 if you can find one and afford it BUT neither would I discount a mid 30's foot BenJenBav, treat them all on their relative merits, but you know this. Buy something that needs loads of work and you might have to write 2023 off…

45. Your having fun making these videos there is no real rush mark,wish your father had time to travel with you you make a fab double act and not forgetting your adorable mum 😊

46. I am sorry but i really do not like the pilothouse and also the dinette under the transom is apparently confortable but for a relatively small boat like this one it effect to much the proportions making it not sexy and eventually not really functional like a larger open cockpit

47. Here in USA i got a Newport 41 C&C design for 7k usd and is a beast !

48. My grandpa pilothouse.. if you decide to buy it, .get a good chainsaw and cut it out on the way to carahibian
