    In my humble opinion, your "humble opinion" comments are hilarious, love how it was getting under your nails. :)

      Jeff’s at home. He can’t come to the door right now. His rear end is in flames. Jeff left a dumb comment and forgot to lube up.

    I froze the video around 9:23 and read the review of the Bavaria 40 Cruiser and the last paragraph you show says that this boat IS available in a 2 cabin layout with a storage area aft and an enlarged head with a separate shower in the 2 cabin arrangement.

    The "Hans" is actually pronounced "Han Sa". It comes from the Hanseatic League of medieval northern european trading league. That is your history lesson for the day.

    What about a Catalina 385? I heard they are amazing!

    I agree with you on the single helm, but that big sugar scoop is the main feature I want in a sailboat. But like you said it's a personal preference.

    I sailed on a Benetau & was impressed with the space & layout - then the cheeki raferti disaster happened.... 😢
    PLease give opinions on Amel , Halberg Rassey & some multi-hulls
    Thanks😊

      The rafiki was a special circumstance, I've done videos on amel, halberg and so on

    • @markberger5739

      Yes I agree it was an unusual occurrence however surely that exposed a very fatal weakness that was difficult to detect & may have parallels in other similar designs ? @@ChasingLatitudes

      I read about this, see 'expedition evans' channel, they bought one and spent a while fixing that whole bonding area. The report on the Rafika says some of the bolts were broken before they sailed...

    Id love you to do a video of sailboats you would buy that are built 1985 to 1999 (insurable but older). Maybe 50k to 100k.. live aboards.. please!

      He doesn't really recommend anything before 2000. Post 80's boats have far better space utilization and swim platforms. Overall they are much more user friendly not to mention more natural light.

    Your humble opinion on Elan sailboats

    Great videos. Curious why you never talk about displacement and displacement ratios relative to sail area and length

    have you reviewed Sabre or Tartan? I am considering the 362 or 3700.

    Both types please
    The opinion of a person that moves/ captain's boats for a living
    beats anything an
    Armchair / Monday morning QB's any/every day
    True we / I might not agree 100% all the time , but that is why so many designs of boats .

      Just keep in mind he does not cruise on the boats he delivers, does not live on them, and often take routes a cruiser does not (upwind, against current, etc.). He's all about fast boats he doesn't have to fuss with, because that's his wallet.

    How do you become a delivery captain? Is it an apprenticeship program? Can I have first mate for a little while?

    • @MikeC2K10
      @MikeC2K10 Před 7 měsíci

      Get your USGC Commercial skipper license, then shop yourself around. You also want to get some experience on power boats, because those are contracted for delivery, too. And yes, making friends with delivery skippers is a great idea. No one likes to sail alone if they can have crew to stand watch. Might even get a little pay sometimes.

    Dude... your OPINION is an HONEST one, say that instead, and please keep trashing the sh*t ones, that's what I do, 64 orbits and sailing all over the world (on sh*t boats I would never buy too) has taught me that... so much insanity out there, glad you're not part of it, happy 'festivus', and keep it up!!!!

    Thanks for all the help you provide. Monos are interesting but for me a cat seems to be the way to go.

      Yes there are two videos covering that range just posted a couple days ago
