- We found a really great cruising sailboat for sale for $24,000 this week in Weymouth, Massachusetts, USA. There's a lot packed into the 38'/11.6m footprint including an aft stateroom & head with an additional head and V-berth. The one caveat is that this boat has been on the hard for 5 years and the owner says everything should be operational….but a buyer will want to have a proper survey to make sure.

Thank you Captain and Ran-day. I’ve been a bit depressed lately and this is the only channel that keeps my dreams alive. I wish I could buy this boat, buy the rigging, lines and buff and paint. What a perfect boat to sail away down east coast and float to Bahamas.
Keep dreaming, Beverly!! Keep you eye on the prize... and get on the road to salty freedom. We're both tickled that two goofballs like us can brighten anyone's day... so cheers to you and thank you for the kind words!
If you have dreams like that, you're already a sailor!!! all you need is to get yourself out on the water!
The Man! The Myth! The Legend! The Knees! Shameless Hussy!
You folks are all tooooooo funny
We love it Thanks so much for watching We will continue to do our best to earn your patronage 🤗
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
Get the captain a glass of iced tea he’s way overheated.
So glad I"m stuck in the desert when boats like this come up. I'd be in so much trouble...... :D
I am landlocked and often think the same thing. :). Pearson’s are sooo tempting.
That makes 3 of us, in stuck in Arizona,
Welcome to Tucson
In Prescott Arizona and thinking the same thing. So many nice boats. 👀😲⛵🤠🌵
Scottsdale & looking for one.
I just made an offer and that was accepted on a Pearson 385 in Puget Sound!!! You're video helped solidify the purchase decision. Thanks for all your videos. I've started up my Broad Reach CZcams channel and will be focused on sailing activities in the Puget Sound.
I'll watch it bro
The one thing that would concern me is the engine, especially if it hasn't been run for 5 years and has sat through that many winters. A favorable survey by a good diesel mechanic would put my mind at ease. Otherwise a perfect boat. Thanks Captain Q for another great review.
Thanks for posting and sharing. What a nice boat! Great to see it and get the full tour.
If I was buying now this would be the boat for me. I absolutely love this boat. This one has me close to rethinking my ownership time line and buying right now.
go for it
Its a great price, I have seen them sell for twice that.
I always love your little history lessons. Love Pearsons. One of these days, I am going to adopt one of these boats you seem to mysteriously find. You are a great boat hunter. Am learning a lot from these videos you make. Thanks for sharing. Drooling on the sidelines for now. Love your little dog too. He is so well trained. :)
You have nice legs too. ;)
I wonder why they did not fix it so that two sides of the wall could open to make for easy engine access.
Great boat and video Captain Q (and Randy), keep up the good work! I grew up sailing a Pearson 303, know the boats and solidness very well.
What a treat. Capt. Q and Randy hit another home run w this one. Not sure how I found your channel, but I've been with you for a little while now. Nice snippet of Alberg, Pearson, and Shaw history in the beginning. Nice pic of the Triton too. I like looking at those and the Alberg Bristol w the hump. ....I think I'll go comb thru your episodes to see if you covered either of these. Great work fellas......
WOW!!! That’s the best deal in awhile!!! If I lost my boat tomorrow I would be headed straight to this sailboat!!!
I love captain’s and randy tours!!
Your videos are medicine for the soul. Thank you.
What an awesome below decks layout!!!
With a captain's rating of 24?
Perfect size too
Captain Q, if I had 1/10th the knowledge you have of sailboats, I would die a happy man. I learn so much watching your videos, you are the best keep up the good work love your video's
Another great find, love the interior layout. Captain Looking good in you salmon shorts 🩳. Thanks for sharing another great video ⛵️⛵️😘
I'm putting together a crew of 3 firemen to help me in the spring bring a boat down to SW Florida. I figure the Captain Q will find 3 to 4 boats a month. Spring 2021 is 10 months away. That's 40 boats and alot of possibilities. Take care of that leg Capt.( wound care and elevation ..advice from your personal paramedic. )and keep'em coming!
What fun good luck and I hope we can help you and thanks for the thoughtful advice
I really enjoy your videos. You guys have a good synergy; very entertaining and educational. It is also nice that the boats you feature are affordable to most all. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
Cool boat. Love all of your videos. Thanks. Not quite ready to retire otherwise I would be purchasing. Thanks so much for sharing and keep the suspenders
I have watched this one 4 times , I Love this one ,absolutely love it
Captain Q and Randy,
Your videos are so great. I love coming home from work on Thursday.
Q-I grew up on a Cal 27. They are amazingly fast and don't look it. Over 10 Knors flying Spin and taking in water from the aft deck plug! Good times.
Please keep it up. Randy you have a Phd in sailing - you hide it well!
Best to you both,
Mike
I had a 27 pop top briefly. Neat boat
I notice Captain Q your latest fashion accessory of a bowling glove on the right hand. I too had a disagreement with gravity and lost recently so I feel your pain. Nice tour. I thank you. Still looking for a Hans Christian though.
Great boat for a couple. There is definitely some homework to do but it's every penny worth. I personally prefer the 386 for single handed sailing, which has the same hull. It's very comfortable and seaworthy boat that brings you around the world. Thanks for the video.
The layout is great. A lot of boat for the money.
The boat sold. Someone got a nice boat.
Nice boat! Happy times for the new owner.
If it has a descent survey, that is one of the best for the money and great accommodations…well done…really good find
Always impressed, Cpt. I "do a virtual tour" with you mornings with a joe regularly. I'm hoping you get some acknowledgement of appreciation from Dinty Moore. You reincarnated my joy of it. You might want to "stage" one of their new 3 pack microwaveable offerings in your next subject boat if it has a microwave. Thanks again for all the joy you bring to me and your followers WELL Done Cpt.!!
hello Bob, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
The knowledge on these boats is golden!
thank you, that's very kind of you!
24, oh my goodness. You are causing me to dream. Great show, as always.
Loving it, even watching the videos of the boats I’m not interested in. So much information 👍🏼
When Capt Q opened the door to the head and said surprise I thought maybe we were going to see another ducie...this sailboat is looking like what the ...Magic Carpet ...couple are fixing on right now....Take a good look at your Navel !...hahahahaha
Another outstanding video (and boat). I like the looks of the 386 aft cockpit version of the boat a lot better, but this is a great price! Maybe perfect for a summer home in New England (38' slip is cheaper than a bigger one!), with legs for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia! Or maybe a few years of snowbirding back and forth. Glad to see that generation of Pearsons looking so good.
Always great to see the Captain get excited about a vessel. Thanks for sharing what is likely to be an awesome purchase by some lucky person.
We agree!
love the 2 5year old Dinty Moore cans on board! Adds authenticity to the rumor this is a cruiser!!!!
I'm looking to buy my first sailboat and what you are doing is giving me a lot to look for. Thank you
Of all the boats we've checked out the Pearson 385 would be the best for us(2 retired buddies for 40 yrs+). First it was motorcycles & ski boats, now it's time for a boat capable of extented time aboard.
😁✌
nice Capt Love that one , My old man had a Plane a Grumman american years ago
Oh Im glad the weather is warrimg up for you Guys
Thanks for uploading. Great episode, very nice boat.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks Lawrence
I really like this boat. I heard center cockpit on a 38 ft. and my first reaction was 'no thanks' but the layout was terrific. No small thing is the engine access. I can't believe the size of the cabins and headroom for a boat of this size. I don't mind the elbow grease/ sweat equity of cleaning and re-finish of the wood. Only issue is the 5 years of sitting. There will be a lot of work and expense that you won't find until you get into it. The price sounds good because it will be worth a little more after you clean it up but the line replacement, probable fuel issues etc. will eat up whatever equity built into the price.
Man these Pearson boats are terrific. Great finds guys. Thanks for your hard work. Stay safe !
The Capt and Randy are the perfect team. I love it when they make me smile at their humor, two good Yankees...
Am I tripping or is the old guy carrying around a dead stuffed black Labrador wherever he goes? 🤔
You must be trippin’
@@YachtHunters ah, ok. Thanks for clarifying 👍
🤗
@@YachtHunters Always great to see SeaDog keeping up with you guys. 😊
Beautiful boat, great value ! Thanks
I thought for sure Captain Q was going to start singing , ...So Long Farewell....but it's ok if he just talks and teaches me as he goes along...Thanks Guys....
Enjoyed your video as always. I owned a 1969 Kenner Kittiwake designed by Carl Alberg. It was a fantastic boat.....well made and a very seaworthy vessel. So I'm a big fan of Alberg's designs, although for the past nine years I have owned a '96 Beneteau 42s7, which I'm enjoying very much.
That is an exceptional boat, especially for 38'! It is obvious that smart design played a huge part in that boat, it has more usable space than many larger boats. It is hard to find fault with a well designed center cockpit. Her stats indicate a boat very suited to voyages beyond coastal cruising. The condition isn't the greatest down below but it is not hard to freshen it up. Nice find AK at a great price!! I bet that one sells quickly now.
Mahina Expeditions recommends it as a blue water cruiser, although I would add when properly equipped...
@@michaelfarinola5044 I would want more fuel tankage, a whole lot more as I hate Jerry cans on deck. With that said, I think the design is brilliant and just needs to be accessorized before any long journeys are undertaken.
@@NotOnYourLife If you replace the front water tank with diesel you could more than double the capacity, especially if you fit in a watermaker somewhere.
@@michaelfarinola5044 You could, though with a smaller boat fitting everything you want/need into the available space is always tough. With the massive amount of living space in this boat, the infrastructure space is very limited. I still love the boat though I cannot imagine a 5-10 year globe trot aboard her.
$24k leaves a lot of cash to clean / upgrade. Great boat, great buy
He said the table feels like it’s been loved. This guy is something else lol.
That is a fine boat, a good survey is of course required but it does look good
I'd love that boat. Great review as always.
Missed out on this one, as she has a deposit already on it, should not have waited a few days. Captain Q great find !! Keep them coming.
Thanks 👍
What do non-oldtime sailors do with their Foulies when they come down the companion way?.... asking for a friend! Seriously fantastically well designed boat, absolutely love it, think it's probably my favourite. Shame I don't hve $30K, seriously though I can see someone doing work on her living on board and cruising the world, feels bigger than her 38ft really impressive.
The captain really loves his port and starboard suspenders with his Malibu Barbie pink shorts. 😆 LOL!
Paging Captain Ken! Captain Ken, please report to the foredeck 😂
After watching your channel I'm thinking of buying in the usa , spending years sailing back .the pricing and quality compared to down under is amazing.im learning about different cruiser design.thanks
So well designed, Captain has a serious crush.
Flawless design/layout!
Very interesting boat, I really like the topside layout.
Long enough to lay down in.
As always, a great review of a notable boat. Alot in a 38 size package.
Thanks for watching!
Really like the layout of this boat.
What timing for me! I’m going to look at a Pearson 365 this weekend. I believe it is also a Bill Shaw design
I met a guy that convinced me a Pearson is the best boat for people that like to make their boat a home. His was the most, has everything and everything has it's place boat, I've ever seen/been in.
@@jerrym3261 Rock solid and great space!
That's it, I found my boat, now all I need is the money to buy it, the money to fit it out, and the money to retire and sail it around the Caribbean. Might be a while... Also, I love the captains dog, he is so quiet and obedient, must be a PD for the PB. Keep up the great videos.
Very observant MJ
Oh Captain, my Captain ... how great the sea. I love Thursdays and the lessons you bring. And the red shorts bring out retorts, and even some snorts. 😄
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
hello, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
Nice job. Appreciate the effort.
Amazing use of interior space! I work with the latest Italian sloops which have less useable space in a 60 footer! Not to mention interior design based on a well known Swedish producer of household goods.
American boats tend to be designed for Americans who tend to be slightly larger than Europeans thank you fast food. So we on the shores do need room don’t we
Very Very Nice, Here I am work camping in Colorado dreaming about what a fine boat this could be!!!!
Just replace mountains with some nice ocean views 😂
hello Michael, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
This is really a nice boat. It needs some love but I wouldn't mind a project like this. It would be a good blue water cruiser.
I’ve got a bone to pick with you captain Q 😃. Your videos inspired me to put an offer in on 47’ Swan today. All I can say is THANKS! I hope she turns out to be our PB. Your show is great. Keep it up.
Hey That is really great. I spent good part of a summer on a swan 48 just after they came out and that group of S&s designs were just solid good boats
Keep us apprised and good luck
@@YachtHunters I’ll fill you in after the survey. She needs a lot of below deck lipstick but rigging, electrical and instrumentation are 2019. Fingers crossed.
Thank you
This is pretty much the perfect live aboard for me and mine.
Come on Hedges, Cover those AMC Shorts so I can go sailing...
A lovely Pearson. I like that layout
Me too!
great show.
thnx cap.
Another great find. Could we perhaps see Captain Q enjoying a leisurely day at sail, one of these fine summer days!?
Asap
4:28 - is that a crack in the skeg?
And . . . “mirror so you could take a good look at your naval.” 😂😂
It's a vine. It moves ever so slightly when the Captain brushes against it and you can see that it's wrapped around at 4:39
I’m glad I’m not where that boat is. My wife would kill me cause I’d come home “honey guess what I bought?”
I had a Pearson 30 following my Pearson 24 as a first boat. I loved the 30 and was sad to let it go.
This a great boat with a great price.
Good layout and good video again. Great project price. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice design. Loved this episode!
Glad you like it!
A little rough around the edges but it looks like a solid boat nonetheless. Keep the good stuff coming Capt'n.
This is so frickin entertaining!
G`day Captain and Ran-day Just amazing, think what this would cost to buy new . Sure she needs some love but for a motivated person looking for adventure here is your baby. Fresh varnish a good scrub down a few new upgrades and hey what a sick yacht, Great vlog lads love you guys
Thanks so much for watching
Thank you 😊 again another fine episode may the Lord be with you, Amen
good boat and good presentation
Great boat ,thanks .Greetings from the beautiful Hawaii islands 🏝
Thank you
It sure is nice to hear someone say bumpers.
From bumper cars? In the navy they were called fenders
Capt Q - you need a clothing sponsor. Especially one that does fitted shorts and knee length socks for men of a certain age. Great boat again.
That is a CPT autopilot which is much stronger than traditional wheel autopilot. Very reliable.
Always a delight
“Dog’s age.” Glad you remembered the new way of saying it. A nice video. One Capt to another,: Hello. I’m going to subscribe. Always loved boatyards.
🦉🌴Capt Rob Kunkel, St. Thomas, VI
I always liked the Pearsons. If I was going to do any long range trips in that the area next to the nav station could be used for a reasonable size freezer. But really nice as is.
Sorry that’s the fuel tank
I really like the layout!
Love the Cals ..... Design pure and Simple.
I hope Cap's leg heals well and is better already!
Thanks Dan. Last of the 17 stiches resulting from my assault on a Dyer in the dark have been removed Interesting l shaped reminder that I’m not 25 anymore
I remember my days at sea on a Submarine. By the time we pulled into port, my clothes reeked of diesel and it took multiple washing’s to seem normal without people excusing themselves to provide distance. A clothes locker above a diesel exhaust doesn’t sound vary appealing to me
This boat is huge!
Salmon shorts at their finest.
And spiffy white socks
WOW! I can't believe Sea Dog visited Bert's Boat Yard in North Weymouth! Unbelievable!
The dog knows no boundaries
Captain, I love your very informative and clever videos. The pearson 385/386 have been in my Atlantic passage short list. Is this boat capable for such task? If it is, how extensive would the mods need to be? Love to hear your take on this topic.
Looking for your top 3 end of the year picks vide!
ive seen Pearson 36s do crossing just fine, and according to boat data the 386 is more seaworthy
FANTASTIC!!! (just the one word)
Thanks!
Dammit, Captain Q! I've been looking for a 385 Pearson, and now you've told everyone else how good they are. Demand, and therefore prices, are going to go up on me!
Better hurry
Buy this one quick :-)!
@@YachtHunters 1st one there with $$$$ .... it's GONE !!!!
Great price, seen them sell at twice that in our survey.
hello, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
