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!
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. 🍻
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.

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!
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.

@ probably more the the purchase price. Unfortunately.
A quick call to a Safe Harbor would do the trick. My guess would be $5-8k.
Another great looking boat! Thank uou

Haha! Yeah, the Canadian… Well, we appreciate that and thank you very much for letting us know!

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.
Best episode ever!! ⛵️⛵️
You were a great stand-in for Canadian Ken! Fun day!
