"You don't walk around grounded to avoid getting hit by lightning! Get with the times!"
As always, very informative and enjoyable.
I’ve always wanted a boat with atleast 35-50 feet, nothing under, I hate small spaces and in the middle of the ocean I want to feel safe especially in storms, I don’t want anything over 50 because the prices to maintain the boat is too expensive. So 35-49 feet is my preferred length
Sounds like a good size range
@ChasingLatitudes I am stuck with the decision on the size.
Currently, I live in Switzerland, so I'm about 7 hours drive away from the nearest marina with somewhat reasonable rates. I have to be in Switzerland min. 2 days/week, except during the 5 weeks of holiday I have per year. This situation will last min. 4 years. During this time, I'll have an annual contract with the marina in St. Raphael and from there I'll be sailing solo and mostly short distances along the Cote d'Azur, with occasional longer trips to Corsica, Sardinia and Balearic during my holidays. For this, a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 is all what I need.
However, after 4-5 years, I will start living onboard full-time. I'll need a cabin as garage and another one as home-studio and then I would very much prefer a 55 footer.
I don’t want to go through the hassle of buying, refitting and selling twice.
Thetefore, the logic commands to either wait 5 years and then to buy a 55-footer or to already buy a 55-footer.
However, IMHO it is crazy to buy such a big boot which I won't be able to use regularly and when i do, i will be docking to the most expensive marinas of Mediterranean.
I can't decide what to do.
Nicely done. Very informative
Keep these videos coming, please!
I need a blue water cruiser I can single hand race from the artic to the tropics. Also catamaran fixer upper. jk. Love the videos!
Ha, at first I thought 🤔
Closing in on 25k subs!!! Congrats Chris.
Thanks my man, I'm getting there
Hardest part I find about soloing is docking, not actually sailing lol
You are not alone
Another great video...thanks Chris. BTW, my bolt-on keel fell off my Dodge Ram today...just saying.
👍 nice,
Yay! Sound!
Whoop whoop
Words of wisdom.
I am looking to buy a yacht to live aboard/cruise. 40' - 50'.
These are the exact basic things that I asked myself to look for. Contenders come and go. Be patient. The perfect yacht comes along every now and then. If you miss your dream yacht, just wait. Another one that fits your requirements will come on the market eventually.
100 percent, the key is to never get attached to a vessel, especially if you don't own it yet
You make a lot of good points.
And there is always going to be someone who going to disagree with you.
I have owned and sailed sloop and ketch rigs your comment that
A ketch is old school and difficult to sail interest me. are you experienced with ketch rig sailing
Or just assuming. Because I have
Found the versatility or sail configurations on the ketch rig
Easier to handle than equivalent sized sloop rigs.
Good straight forward info with some good laughs. Thanks! You talk about the Beneteau 323 very highly but never mention the 343. I’m in process of buying a 343. Would you give it the same review as a 323 with just a few feet added? Thank you
Sure, the 343 is a better deal than the 323 usually , depending on the price of course however oddly enough the 343 can be snagged at the same price as the 323
@@ChasingLatitudes yup. that’s why I went for the 343. Picked up a few feet in the cockpit for a similar priced 323. Cheers!
@@SaylorRob61 👍 well done
When I look on Yachtworld, rarely see dual helm boats for sale. Are they hard to find? Thx again Chris.
Just have to know the specific models is all, I know them all by heart but for a novice shopper it's a pain in the behind
I'm complelled to correct you.
4 things to consider in relation to size. LOA, LWL, Draft, Beam.
Draft is important it can limit where you can take the boat.
ie; Can you get into that Marina?
Can I get into that hurricane hole?
Beam of a Catamaran limits you to less marina slips, etc....
I've mentioned draft probably 200 times throughout several of my videos pointing out exactly what you stated
Yes, had I heard it to the end eventually you did mention draft.
Only because you listed only 2 items as important to consider it triggered my response. I'll try to be more patient.
@@michaelmccotter4293 no worries, I understand completely, often in these shorter 8 minute videos I only have so much time to cover much but that's why I post daily.
Can anybody tell me if I need any kind of certification/license if I were to buy a 40ft or more sailboat?
You do not
You said: "All keels have their pros and cons." Is that a crack about the guy from Kraken Yachts? I mean, are you saying he's trying to con people? Just because he's constantly screaming that bolt on keels are all going to fall off and everyone sailing on Beneteaus is going to die?
He's a funny guy but no wasnt a crack at him as he never even crosses my mind. I've seen one interview of him and he is so blatantly silly who knows
😃👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
First off yes the size of the boat does matter when it comes to sailing solo. This is why when you get to a certain size they come with crew quarters. Additionally spitting out terms without explaining the terms in a video for people who have not purchased a boat yet, is a mind numbing oversight.
I am the star of the show and dog gonnit, people like me.
And the Oscar goes too
