- Captain Q visits Harpswell, Maine to check out why this amazing boat, A Frers & Cibilis (F&C) 44, with a proven track record as an open ocean racing winner, is on the market for 60% off!?!? What's the catch? Is it seaworthy? Is it as impressive in person?

As an old British diesel mech I would not necessarily be too scared of the Perkins. Worked on many over the years and they are pretty good and reliable if you treat 'em right. Also, very simple, and I like simple. Beautiful yacht and another great video. I recently 'discovered' your channel and am thoroughly enjoying catching up. Thanks.
Lots of work, lots of systems updating, the soft looking deck/hull seam needs immediate attention. Someone with a little time, $$, and skill would have a serious treasure here.
OUTSTANDING! A boat walk-thru with you Captain Q is a real treat!
I think that everyone is underestimating the cost to bring this back to a high level. Even if you are knowledgeable enough, and have sufficient time to invest, the upgrade in electronics, new sails, required rigging replacements, deck repair, engine, interior upgrades, glass repair work on hull...
Germán Frers never designed an ugly boat, nor a slow or poorly sailing boat. This is why he is #1.
I'm from Argentina and sailed one of these from Punta to BA in the late 80s. Awesome boat, beautifully built and sails incredibly well.
Love the knowledge share you give to each boat. Subscribed and binge watching you channel. I’m retiring in 4 years and started to learn about sailing for what I hope will be the next chapter.
One of my favorite looks - navy with white cabin and teak decks. Teak decks are like Sirens, beautiful and alluring but a problem later. Just discovered your channel and enjoying your tours thoroughly.
I think there is a good reason why she is not for sale for a $100,000, and depending on that engine I am not sure she is even worth the $39,000. I am really concerned with how much water damage from that teak deck, and have lots of questions about that engine, because if the engine isn't good then there is no way they will get $39,000 out of her. The Teak issues should have been dealt with sooner, and I am just not sure about that engine the way it was stated.
Captain, just found your channel and enjoyed your knowledge and presentation. I too appreciate the head turning beauty of classics that newer vessels miss completely.
This was my dream boat when they first came out. Had a $$$ problem and waited 20 years to buy a neglected one in Rhodes Island. Was formerly owned by the commodore of Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Called Quest of Pajet. We lived aboard and cruised many thousands of miles on her. And worked and worked at the restoration along the way. She was very comfortable at sea and quiet below, a bit wet in the cockpit. We allowed unlimited swearing for 1 minute whenever a wave filled the cockpit. Our son learnt some disgusting words. Coming from Australia you can only imagine. We spent 4 winters on the hard in Ventura Ca and even had to pay a tax on it to the County...... well, they wanted it but we sailed away. Happy days on this boat but they had built in issues. Another problem are the chainplates being embedded in the hull. They rust and expand and create bumps in the topsides. Be careful if you ever think of buying one. Most are not worth the work involved, a great shame. Best to take a photo and admire that.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice boat.
So many beautiful boats, only one life to life!
This would be a great boat to have. Even with the issues that were pointed out, with a complete deck redo, that added cost would still get you a boat that could never be duplicated for investment.
Teak decks are such a double edged sword, beautiful to look at, great when wet underway, but if they've been screwed to a cored deck......leaky teaky. This is such a bugbear on older boats, I absolutely love the look and feel of a teak deck, but it's also been the deal breaker on a Crealock Cabo Rico, two Perry Tayanas, a Perry Cheoy Lee and a Young Sun that I've looked at, amongst others, if only all the above-mentioned had taken a leaf out of the Swedish brands book (Hallberg Rassy/Najad/Malo/Fergus/Sweden yachts) all have always done teak decks, older boats have a far smaller chance of major deck core water ingress and for decades now they've been epoxy glued not screwed, and the results speak for themselves,
Would need to know the condition of the standing rigging, the wiring and plumbing and a diesel mechanics opinion of the engine. It’s a lovely head turner of a vessel, but one could wind up putting a ton of money into her if not careful. Must say that you give the best boat tours of anyone in person or on the internet. I always learn by listening to you. Carry on capn
That deck reminded my of my first ship in the Navy. It was built in 1942, every topside deck was teak and about every three months we had to holy stone the decks and swab it with citric acid. The sun and the acid turned the teak white and it was beautiful for about a month, then started getting dingy again. Teak decks are amazing and easy to maintain when your young, but that's a little too much work for me at my age.
Can you video some nice Motorsailers with enclosed Helms/Pilothouses? Even in 50-60 degree F days sailing, the enclosed Helm looks so much more comfortable. You're out of the wind, out of the sun, out of the weather...
I agree. Those decks are worthy. Gorgeous.
Looks fabulous and a great project for DIY
