The TOP 10 SAILBOATS for Sale in New England Under $25k SUMMER 2024 edition! Get excited, folks, there are some sweet deals to be had and if you pounce on any of these fine sailboats you can start sailing now! We have done some sneakin' and peekin' and have toured some great boats lately, like the Sea Sprite 28 (it sold!) and the Bristol 33 (it also sold) and these boats were steals. And there are more deals out there so Canadian Ken and I checked out dozens and dozens of listings for sailboats under $25,000 across New England and I think we found some winners - and we definitely came up with one winner in this week's Top 10. Now look, we recognize our tastes vary from you and others so we would love to know which of these sailboats would have been your top pick! Let us know in the comments below!
The 10 boats in this video are listed below in no particular order. And, as always, we have no financial interest in any of them.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Enjoy and get busy sailing or get busy trying!

That Ohlson is GORGEOUSSSSSSS!!!!
Holy smokes! You guys nailed it with this episode. Keep this going, y’all are doing great. Cheers 🍻
Thank you very much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Hard to beat the Pearson 386 wow what a deal but that Cal 43 is something special. Still I would go Pearson 386 for cruising its loaded even autopilot from pics near turn key.
The Pearson would be very comfortable and she’s a nice size. Really wish we had more pics of both!
I'm shopping for a good, older sailboat and your channel is such an excellent resource. You guys do a great job.
Thank you! Contact us directly if you have any questions! BoatFools1@gmail.com
Great boats, the Ohlson was sweet. You guys are suckers for wood and character. I'm guilty of that too, thanks guys :)
Ha! Guilty as charged. They sure are pretty to look at…
What a great batch of boats, my favorite is the Cal 43
Thanks Jack! I’m hoping to see it close up and tour it. Waiting for the seller to get back to me. Looks like a really cool boat!
Just a great show! You had me guessing but I never thought the Ohlsen had a chance but it is in the end soo sweet. Cheers
Thank you, thank you! That Ohlson is dreamy. Just wish we knew more about her!
Every other Saturday? Oh no. I will go into withdrawals.
Y’all put out terrific videos and your hard work is appreciated Enjoy your summer
We might sneak one in here and there, especially if find a must see deal! Appreciate your comment! And enjoy your summer, too!
Another excellent show guys. Keep the videos rolling, and enjoy the delivery :)
Thank you! Will do our best...
My favorite channel.
Thanks Mike! Really appreciate that! Have an awesome summer!
I appreciate you guys! I'm currently saving up for my first boat and you guy's have been killing it with these low price finds recently!
Thank you and that’s awesome! Keep saving and let us know if we can be of assistance!
I was hoping for that Cal 43 to be a "number two or one" in the list. I really liked that boat. A few years back, a buddy of mine in PR (rest his soul), had a Cal 40 and that boat was fast! He was winning most of the regattas in Ponce Yacht Club. Great show guys and Thank you!
There just weren’t enough photos. Going to go look at her in a week or so… Really cool boats and I love the Cal 40!
Alberg 29....WOW 😍
100%. Nice boat!
Looking forward to the delivery vid!
And I’m looking forward to the delivery! Hopefully we get some good footage! And good weather…
That Ohlson really is a wooden Vindo. Nice. There's also something about the one in Mattapoisett that really appeals to me, but i can't exactly place what it is.
She really is… So many cool boats out there!
@boatfools Damn right. I try to avoid looking at boats for sale. I'm inclined towards collecting things but I don't need any more than one big boat.
Every time you guys do a list I could pick a boat to buy!
Don't I know it!
Wow ! you "BoatFool Boys" find some really excellent reasonably priced sail boats ! Have a fun , safe season boys . When the snow flies in the East Coast , why don't you come out to Newport Beach and find some cheap deals out here for us West ? I know , it's California 👎
Don’t tempt us! I’ve got family out in Carp… We will definitely do another virtual sweep of SoCal and the rest of the state! Thanks for watching!
I’ll take one of each please! 😉
One can never have too many pretty boats! Thanks for tuning in!
the Star Dust is not the Commodore version. I want it anyway. . . . . . .but I would not characterize 6 tons on 33 LOA as "ultra-heavy displacement."
Yes, I misspoke in the video but noted she’s the Swiftsure model. Her displacement/length ratio is 426, per Sailboatdata, so if that is correct, by definition she would be an ultra heavy displacement boat. I didn’t check the math so maybe I missed something?
@@boatfools My Glander Cay was 6,000 lbs on 23 feet LOD, which, IMO, is heavy, but not ultra-heavy. I do not doubt your math, so maybe its a matter of definitions. The Westsail 32 displaces 20,000 lbs on the same LOD as Swiftsure which only comes in a 11,500 lbs.
Anyway, thanks for the video. I could easily afford the Star Dust, but just too old now.
@@jeffreyerwin3665 she is a sweet looking boat, that is for sure! And I appreciate your comments and your tuning in!
Idk about New England. But a wooden boat is nearly impossible to insure in California.
Even up here it takes some digging! It’s a shame.
It eludes me why in the heck people keep their boats so long without selling. It's called greed when it comes down to it. If I have something sitting for a year, it goes. Someone else will use it. That cal would cost a significant amount and has been on the hard for 8 years.......I don't think that'd be a wise investment. If anything they should pay you to take it after sitting that long is the reality.
Why do you guys say, “soul floor”? It is the soul, period. To say otherwise contributes to the loss of proper terminology.
Good question! I guess it sounds weird to say its soul looks to be in great condition; vs its sole floor looks great. Sole, soul, it all gets confusing…
Sole = Boat speak for "floor". Floor = boat speak for "floor joist".
The floor timbers support the sole boards, and in the case of wooden boats, tie the frames to each other and the keel.
@@boatfools Yes, Sole not soul..
@@SavingMaverick55 Understand but in reference to the boats floor it is sole.
@@danielclint1033 Yeah. I said that. "Sole = Boat speak for "floor". Nautical English is a strange dialect.
