- Episode #178 : Types of Boats to Consider for Various Types of Sailing
Hello Friends,
I am contracted fairly often asking for advice on buying boats and what type of boats I think people should be looking for. So I figured this would be a good subject for an episode to try and help new sailors who are dreaming of buying their first monohull sailboat.
In this video I talk about types of boats verse types of sailing and give you some pros and cons.

Great to have you on here to help the one of us who want to sail but don’t have a great budget. I am prepared to do lots of work myself if needed.
Just joined your channel and enjoying your videos. I have a different take on this one, I think it's more important to really learn how to sail first before buying a boat to cruise. One of two things comes to mind depending on your age. Learn to dinghy sail, that will teach you the rules of the road and how to really know the important parts of sailing. Another option is find a local club that races boats and join as crew, you will learn very fast how to sail, what stress the equipment can take, and if you can even stand being so close to other people even for short periods of time. You also learn about other boats in the area you live and hang out with other sailors who will provide so much more info than you can get from a 200 page book. Read the books too, but get your feet wet first. I've had three crewmen over the decades that spent a season or two racing and then went on to buy their own boat with some knowledge in the bank. Regards
i love when you said "creature comforts " you added a Light . LOL , before the other updates , I Love how you out fitted Triteia . and the updates keep coming , since this vid she has sailed the Pacific , so it worked .
James, you have one of the best CZcams channels! Thank you so much.
My first boat was an IP24 motorsailor. Absolutely fell for her and loved the simplicity. When I decided to live onboard full time, it felt doable but really small. Now I live on my for-ever-boat, a 41ft steel ketch. Happy as can be, but I think it would have been possible on the IP24. Single handing was so much easier. Now I live at the dock 99% of the time, and only sail with crew. I would say "Go Simple, Go Small, Go Now"
This is probably the most useful and informative videos I've seen on this subject. You should write a book.
“If you buy a boat , go sailing in it, before you get into any serious boat work” this is awesome and very good advice. It’s ez to become despondent but if you have seen the boat in it’s majesty , it will help you slog threw the trenches better
Thank you for responding to me so quickly
Two years on and this video is a fantastic example of the uncertainty of life and life experiences. James’s rudder actually DID fall off (and the way James and his shore team handled it is an example all of us aspiring ocean voyagers have benefited greatly from!) and Camille did not make the journey… not trying to be negative at all because James has made amazing progress (I write this on 6/1/23…) and his personal growth along the way has been a real treat to see, but it just shows that the plan and the reality are sometimes a bit different.
Thanks James and Camille. Very insightful.
Thanks James excellent very informative video keep up the good work take care
Thanks a lot. You have answered a bunch of my questions and brought up a lot of stuff I hadn't considered.
Really good points to consider- glad I invested the time to watch this. Thanks for posting.
Love this, you both are fantastic in your points and delivery.
Great tips James and thanks for the reference books - very helpful!
Good insight and advice, thank you guys.
such great advice - As Always appreciate the wisdom shared!
This was great. When you got to the Mate part it made me realize how important your mates input is. Ty for that.
A real straight forward factual approach to owning a boat.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. 🙏
