Ya a steal!😃🙏❤️
You guys are fun just subscribed from Utah. We got some good lakes out here.
CNG....boo!
Great video appreciated 🙏💪
Thank you and thanks for the comment!
Don’t cower to fascists. Stand up!
Sort out shower and head....go go go!
For that price it looks great!
You were in my back yard
Pretty great backyard. Amazing area! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another fine boat tour video . She's a clean machine and will serve her new owner well . Really enjoyed you and your brother crawling from the ladder into the cockpit , life can be a challenge when your over 6 ft tall . If Canadian Ken can't sneak back across the border , I vote for Tim 😁👍
Ha! Definitely. The struggle was real! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Another great looking boat! Thank uou
One of my favorites! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Man! The way you guys crawled in there I couldn't do it. I'd have been caught up by my pecker
We have 29 and 34 at my yacht club who have not returned to the water since they arrived. Poor things.
That’s a crime!
Where is you yacht club located. I'm interested
I’m based out of Camden, ME, but that boat is at the Duxbury Bay Maritime School in Massachusetts.
@@bryonholland5041 Neither is for sale.
Thanks for showing up another lovely boat 🙏
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching, and for your comment!
Great find, love it. Would buy it in a heart beat if i had the time to sail down to Florida or could figure out how to get it here.
Great boat, and a nice shallow draft for those Florida waters! You could have it shipped down by truck but that is pretty expensive….Thanks for watching!
@ probably more the the purchase price. Unfortunately.
A quick call to a Safe Harbor would do the trick. My guess would be $5-8k.
Nice boat for sure. I have an offer topic question...why do so many boats have their standing rigging go to the middle of the side decks? Any designer must know that will be a hazard, right? Bring them in or bring them out. But right where you are expected to walk seems to be a really poor design. Am I missing something?
It’s a really good question and I honestly don’t have an answer for you. But I agree, pick a side! Right in the middle is really not ideal. Appreciate the comment and if I find the answer, I will post it up! Thanks for watching!
@boatfools I look forward to your vids. Great content with an even better delivery. Love you guys. Not so much that Canadian Communist Ken guy😉. I end up spending an hour or so every night watching older vids. 🍻
Haha! Yeah, the Canadian… Well, we appreciate that and thank you very much for letting us know!
It is a compromise. (Like just about anything else in the boat design). If you bring it out, you can't sheet in genoa hard enough to sail it really hard to windword. If you bring it in, aangle between mast and inner shrouds is to small=shrouds are more busy trying to push the mast trough the deck / keel, then preventing mast to bend sideways.
You bring then in as far as you can so you can pull the headsail in as much as possible. It's not super inconvenient once you get used to it.
Nice review gentleman, and a nice find. Who doesn’t like the look of double-enders! Looks like a steal for the price…
As always, thanks for your kind comment and thanks for watching. Yeah, sweet, sweet boat - at a great price! Enjoy your weekend!
Best episode ever!! ⛵️⛵️
You were a great stand-in for Canadian Ken! Fun day!
Get a dingy motor. For cryin out loud
This is a nice boat guys even for the money. Not a bad deal
.. you say the boat would be suitable for a family of 4, for example. I really don't know where a working father would find the time to finish this never-ending project. Unless he's rolling in cash ..
Weeknights and weekends, like the rest of us. Baring any unforeseen issues, it would take 6 months to a year to do it right.
I outfitted and spent 10 years sailing Orion #006. Many, many wonderful days and weekends (Channel Islands) were spent on that boat. I wonder where Summerset is today???
pretty sure you cant 'velcro on a tv' lol
Hello, is she still available? Please reach out and let me know! Thank you!
Surprisingly, I believe she is. You can contact Keith, the seller, directly at: kcherklotz@gmail.com. Let us know what happens!
Reminds me of the Orion my mom & dad had for a decade.
These are good boats but they are very small inside with no standing room
Nice boat, but i wouldnt pay more than 1500-2000 for it.
These were great little boats. I'm confident it was one of the boats that influenced the design of Pacific Seacraft Orion.
I have not heard that but it’s certainly possible! The Orion is a very cool boat, too!
Not for ocean crossings. Delivery captain here. This boat is extremely uncomfortable in waves. Great boat for dreaming, not great for being in 20+ waves.
Not sure anyone is suggesting sailing in 20+ waves…But definitely great for day sailing and maybe some cruising along the coast of Maine…if that’s considered dreaming, I’ll take it!
I would buy this fabulous Choey Lee in a second. I’m actually looking for a sailboat just like this for my Maine summer retired life - near future (escape CA. desert heat). Love your boater smarts insights. btw. I own a classic Pacific Seacraft Flicka -20. ❤❤❤. One of the best compact blue water cruisers! Keep up the fun boat hunting😊. What about doing a review of fave marinas or Maine harbors?
Thanks for your comment! Would be a great retired summer project boat! I’ve got family in Tucson. I don’t know how they survive summers down there (though they say the same about winters up here). Maine Marinas/boatyards: I could see that. Favorite sailing spots: no way! 😂 Can’t give those secrets out…
28k is a bit salted for new portholes and an old engine
1984 was the year Catalina upgraded their laminate, resin schedules for durability, strength ? I could be wrong
I have American money!!
“She’s got 80 feet of waterline and Music is her name”
Yep!
19:45 Idk anything about boats, does the subtitle mean you could switch to the 3'11" draft when going to shallower water and to the 5' deep for more stability?
Hello! Actually, this boat was manufactured with two options for keel configuration. You could get one with a 3’11” shoal draft, or a deeper 5’ draft - but not both. On a boat that has a centerboard, like a Tartan 37 for example, the board can be raised and lowered as needed, doing exactly what you described, help with stability and help with better upwind performance. Hope this helps!
@boatfools I've been watching your videos one by one, and I just learned about the center board on your seabreeze 35 video Thank you for answering 🙏
@@killshot7041 you bet! Contact us any time with questions!
Expensive and lots of work to do...
Great find guys! I've got to say ... I think that you inadvertently touched on great idea. You should buy this and make it a channel project, if nothing else it would quiet the naysayers if you did fix her up. It would be a great piece of content for filler episodes in the winter season!!!
Robert! One never knows! Such a neat boat…
I think with an additional 25000 to 30000 dollars, it would be a decent boat .
How did you arrive at those numbers?
All them frenchies are small. Aye !
I wonder if anyone has cut steps out of their rudders for easier entry
It seems like a reasonable concept, especially for a transom hung rudder! Thanks for watching.
I never heard of this boat but bow have I heard of Cheoy Lee and The international folkboat. These two boats are the basis of my covet. This is amazing information. Thanks for showing me a new special wonder for me to investigate.
Our pleasure! And thank you for watching!
Nice thorough video gentlemen. I hope there’s someone out there who looks at this pocket cruiser as beautiful sailboat and not just a boat striped down with tons of work. The old Cheoy Lee’s are well built and a nice pedigree to boot…
Agreed. And thank you for the comment and for watching!
"Small, Almost Perfect" 😂
I demand that you shoot me now.
What could be hidden in a sandy ballast? Drugs going in and cash going out?
Wonderful overview - looks a lot like my Alberg 30
Definitely! Great boat, btw!
It's easy to fall in love with this one, she is sweet indeed!
Agreed!
Its a steal at that price.
We think so too. Super boat.
😎😎😎
I love how you 2 show real boats that normal people could afford. Too many 50ft youtube sailboat channels out there. Thx!
Thank you. Yes, agreed, so many great, reasonably affordable boats out there with a lot of sailing left in them. Appreciate your comment & thank you for watching!
The words perfect boat is an oxymoron, since every boat is a combination of compromises. My first boat was a power boat, but zooming around inland waters eventually wore out the novelty. My next boat was a 30ft fixed keel yacht, with head, separate bedroom etc... But was expensive and had to be moored 2hour drive from my home, eventually been there did that. Being older I decided to down size to a trailable yacht, thinking 25ft might be a good size, but measuring my parking I could only store a 18ft boat and trailer... I then realised my vehical towing ability limited weight... I then realised raising a mast is normally a two person job once the mast gets to big... in the end a 18ft drop keel was my compromise.... I can call it perfect because it is a perfect fit for me!
Ha! Exactly right! Thanks for watching!
Kinda like a Columbia 29 .
Wow. Just looked that one up. You’re right. Similar lines for sure!
