1. Love your videos.🤓

2. We got ourselves a Catalina 30. Its perfect for us sailing the inside passage of Vancouver Island. Ive had to do a ton of work though. But when ive done all the work myself i know everything about the whole boat.
   Over the last week ive pulled the engine and rebuilt the transmission on the kitchen table.

3. took me a while to realise that when you say a 40ft boat at £20,000 (what I hear) you are really talking about 40ft boat of 20,000lbs!

4. Hey, man!!

5. I just acquired a '74 Morgan out island. It needs a bit of work but it's everything I wanted. It's a full keel center cockpit aft cabin boat that seems very well built and has a ton of support since they built so many of them. I love the visibility of the center cockpit. I can literally lay back in the cockpit and see EVERYTHING rather than having to strain to peer over the cabin to see what's in front of me. I love the peace of mind of having a full encased keel. I know that their performance is akin to sailing a brick but I kinda don't care. My attitude towards sailing is that it's more about the journey than the destination.

6. Would you consider a Morgan Out Island 416 (Island Packet knockoff) a “Battle Axe”?

7. Have you ever done a video on the Erickson 27?

8. Insurance… Insurance…. Insurance… nuff said. Trying to get a policy for the Caribbean Sea that will be worth the paper it is written on. Lil Help.

9. Hello! Why didn’t you include Amel in your heavy duty sailboat list?

10. Island Packet yellow…the story I heard was back in the “Miami Vice” days of the late 70’s and early 80’s, there was a white powdery substance that many wealthy boaters were having trouble finding when they lined it up on their shiny white gel coat. IP solved this by using some dirt, I mean color, in the gel coat to help these crazed boaters and this marketing genius helped sell at least a few more boats.

    Well, that’s the story I heard. 😉

    (My C42 is white😇)

11. Love me a hc33. 😅 alas I will have to head south in my RAWSON 30 BATTLE TANK.
    Cheers Sailors 🍻

12. Hi! I grew up sailing opti’s sunfish and the likes in Florida. Love your videos! Every episode makes me want to quit my job sell my house and get cruise the world. Keep up the good work.

13. You're getting really good at presenting. Your delivery reminds me of the presenters of Top Gear (the u.k. version anyway) and you write a proper script, rather than freestyle through it. I wonder if you should create another channel that's a bit more televisual but with the same tone. It would be expensive, and time consuming to do, but YouTube is the new t.v. and plenty of people are doing it with cars. I bet there are producers who would develop a programme format with you once you hit 100k subscribers.

14. I bought bought a Ted Brewer 36 foot cutter .
    I am a novice so i went on my gut instinct
    No survey and i didn't even try the engine (it works …
    I want to try and restore it to a good standard and hopefully sail in it next year

15. You keep going to the weight factor of how well the boat will handle different conditions. So here's a an example of why not just weight but design and build make a big difference. We brought a Hunter 49 back from Mexico a few years ago. Factory weight is 32,800 lbs. We had an average of 27 kns on the nose for the first two days. The boat came through just fine but the crew was beat to death. Every large wave caused the boat to slam and shudder. Down below was like being inside a drum. My wife could barely sleep as she kept getting thrown in the air. Note that she was in one of the aft berths. On another trip we were coming home on our Bristol 43.3 from the same area. Factory weight 26,900 lbs. Again, head winds around 27. Very similar conditions to what we experienced on the Hunter. We did not experience slamming or shuddering. Down below was quite and and the admiral was able to stay on the berth in the aft cabin. Overall it was a much more pleasant trip in-spite of the boat being lighter and smaller. I attribute the difference to hull design and build quality.

16. If you spent half the time sailing as you do debating mostly useless things , you’d be a happy sailor.

17. I like that you mentioned having an encapsulated keel. I've had my Rival 32 since 2011 and feel very safe in heavy weather.

18. I had a cutaway full keeled Halvorsen, tough as..but l don't look back from my Beneteau oceanis, it's fast, very comfortable and manoeuvres like a greek god. Full keeled boats are great for drunken sailors.

19. Advice that's pragmatic and useful. Another great video 👍

20. Boat completing in the New Year a Fisher 25 🇬🇧

21. I've been asking myself that same question. Why IPs are all yellow? Or is it beige? I've sailed a few, n wondered about that.

22. A couple of years ago you reviewed Tayana double-ended boats. I have lately seen a 2005 Tayana 48 for sale. For a mere $400K… otherwise I find it to be my perfect boat (at first glance) and it has a sugar scoop! The kitchen layout is amazing and, in this case, who cares about a forward facing chart table. Any plans to look into more recent Tayanas?

23. I think you need to make a distinction between what you call a heavy boat (or battle axe) and a fin keel versus full keel boat. There are several boats that are fin or modified fin that are heavy. Many 80s boats are heavy by today's standards. (Rival 38, Valiant, Bristol, Tartan, Swan 48, Swan 47, Cambria, Kaufman 47, HC Christina, – The list goes on-and-on and while some of these boats boats were not produced in mass quantities, there are still out there)

    Safety at sea means more than the ability to possess heft. How does Heave-to? Can it go to weather and claw off of a lee shore? Speed is a safety factor too. It's important to find the proper balance. My boat, 46' in length, tips the Travel Lift scale at 34,000 lbs. It has 13,000 lbs of ballast, is capable of 10+ knts, can sail inside of 30 degrees and has a motion comfort index of around 35. Those numbers are added safety features in my mind.

    I work in a boat yard on the SF bay and am also a broker. As a home on the water, I see the value in IPs. As true sailboats, these things have many compromises that would-be owners need to be aware of.

24. Love the channel. But you go on alot about the heavy is better theme. I think this is true of monos, but what about cats and tri's? Can you do something on these sometime? I am curious about the lighter "big boats" and how they do in blue water. 30 – 40' cats are of interest. Even a 38' lagoon is 15000lb i think… bigger boat than most you mentioned, but way lighter… and this is not a speed machine

25. Hi

26. I'd like video about calculations. Like displacement keel weight ratio, comfort ratio etc. mentioned in sailboatdata or similar services. For me they don't seem much to take in to account as smaller boats can get the same ratios, but they feel different. Or not?

27. Nice video! I believe Yellow to reduce glare in bright sunshine.
