Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solo or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my CZcams channel and channel members.
It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!
Was lucky enough to be crew on this trip. (2nd part). I had a blast. If you think you want to do this, just go for it with Chris's consulting package as you get so much value. Way beyond a delivery trip. He will keep you grounded and help you through the process. STEP by STEP.
So you get the invitation and decide to go. Then your expenses are: airfare/transportation to and from; couple extra days in a hotel; pick and purchase your own food(?) and chip in for extras; and what else?
Awe bro, I live in Jacksonville, crossed over that bridge many times, would love to have met you at the docks, plan on getting your consulting package next year as retirement comes around, wife and I are leaning towards a cat. Would love to go on a few deliveries to make sure this is the lifestyle we want. Until then, I use your amazon link when I order stuff to help support the channel.
Great video Chris! Nice editing, subtle music and voiceover.
Thanks for sharing that trip ---- it was truly awesome to watch.
Very Humble and Informative.
Thank you Captain.
Maybe you need a film crew from another CZcams channel (one of the cool ones) on a delivery with you 😊
Brilliant. I've never sailed a yacht but would love to some day, I did however work mechant Navy and American Merchant marine for 30 years , 76 countries world over. My 2nd ever trip we encountered a force 12 off the UK, 20m seas, Like you have never been sea sick but I will never forget that storm , we were on a vessel built for the North Sea and it got trashed , most were sick / I wasn't but it scared the life out of me. I'm getting on a bit now in life but one day intend to buy a small yacht. Great channel !!
BTW Woring in bermuda some 25 years ago I got to know a Sailor who had an amazing 55 foot new yacht out there , went aboard and decided I wanted to buy a small yacht, his advise was just like yours , Buy and ex charter , don't waste your money on old stuff
Chris, this is a great video
Subscribed!!!! Love your content man !! Just stumbled up on your channel and now binging on all your great wisdom, Thank you !
I remember the days I started working on cruise ships.. first weeks from Texas, Galveston was some bad seas.. I felt drunk all the time.. but after couple month, I didn't even know that there was very rough seas unless guests were complaining or I had to take a detour because watertight doors had to be closed for safety.
I was invited with some friends on a sailboat for a short jaunt from Long Beach to Catalina Island. Before sailing "Captain Bill" treated us to a nice big breakfast with lots of greasy eggs and sausage. I later found out this big breakfast was his standard practice on these "missions" for everyone to get a good laugh. It also serves as a great leveler to get anyone off their high horse and puts their vulnerability and humanity on full display. What's with so many things breaking down? Why is ship equipment so much less reliable than land equipment?
I laughed to hard at the “ I’d rather be a prisoner in Hades” comment….classic!!!
Brian is a treasure!
If ever I get sick, slip and fall, trip over something or otherwise have a massive wreck on some stupid motor driven vehicle I happen to playing with, all I ask is YOU GET IT ON VIDEO!!!!
Man, that sea sickness sucks
I'm probably gonna get a passport. Hire this guy teaching you how to sail on my boat.I'm looking right now at an Oceanas. 34.1
Looking forward to eventually leaving the office and becoming one of your crew
I'm glad you started posting this content. As I too would like to be a delivery captain
I want to do a sailing with you. Looks amazing. I want to get a sailing boat and your channel is awesome
Yo! We're turning Alma around and headed back for Florida, then down toward you.. You were an absolute asset to have on the line headed west! Nothing but progress since.
I hope I will sail with you someday soon.
Missed hearing “We’re movin, we’re shakin, we’re bakin. “
RALPH is def the one who shoulda got seasick
Best sailing channel on You Tube, hands down. 😎👍
Like Video peps! so much wisdom shared gotta be worth a clicky
Shaking, baking, all gas no brakes!
As always, thanks for your work.
Off topic I’m taking vacation to Hawaii soon !
Great video. You’re becoming a documentarian.
LoVe IT!!!!
for me if i do get a boat and the boat would need to have a steal or aluminum hull so i can goto antarctica to see it for my self.
Gotta get a look at those ice walls huh
This cracked me up
Fiberglass tub with a lightning rod attached.
You'de be surprised how rare a strike actually is.
Woop woop
......feeding the fish 😂
yo qiero! also how big was the store what was the over under?
I hired a delivery skipper almost 20 years ago to help me sail my boat from Sausalito where I bought it to Marina Del Rey where I lived. It was January. Ericson 32-200. Would you have taken that job? :)
no lol
Does Brian have his own boat or is he in the market for one, or just loves sailing?
he got consulting just to come sail with me
That's what I'm thinking of doing
@@larkangel6593 not a bad idea. Get out there and see if you like it before you make a $300k mistake 😊
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work!😊
How do you get around the 12 hr/24 watch rule? More than one CPT MMC on board?
It is not subject to STCW 46 CFR § 15.1111 - Work hours and rest periods - due to its size and non commercial.
Welcome to jax, get out while you still can! Anyway, I would be interested in your opinions on yacht theft and modern piracy, general safety, avoiding nefarious countries or things of that nature.
I say this in reference to the recent double homi by Grenadian thugs, and the russians who stole a cat in Europe and evaded Brazil.
Chris thinking about this boat also can you contact me please? Ted
the leopard 40 ? you can shoot me an email , chris@chasinglatitudes.com
