Thanks for the comment. I've enjoyed you're videos. She's is built like a ship, but not fast like your Com-Pac. We're just getting through winter here in Newfoundland. In fact, I just launched my boat a couple of days ago for the sailing season. Cheers.
I bought a 25’ Catalina in Long Island, NY & brought her to Glovertown NL a few yrs back. Sold her last year so her new home will be in Hare Bay. Customs officer at Canada / USA border sail it looked like something from a Stephen King movie. 😂 She too was sitting in the weeds for a long time.
Sometime in the weeds is where you'll fine a good deal on a diamond in the rough. Looks like you've since moved up a notch though (just watched your video). Nice to hear from you.
what a solid little boat testament to a quality build ,huge cockpit area and large headroom inside loving it perfect for all year round sailing easy to pull in and out water when the weather suits
Hello from West Palm Beach, FL. I love old, vintage everything and this boat is beautiful. I also love sailing but haven't sailed in years. I happened upon your video and immediately subscribed. Looking forward to episode 5. Enjoy!
I just checked these boats out... yes very similar look on the bow for sure. Formosa boats look very nice and substantial. I hadn't heard of them before so thanks for pointing them out.
Thanks for the honest feedback. I agree. The footage for these videos, and the next 3 or 4, was taken this summer when I really didn't have a RUclips plan or idea about what I was doing. However, I just bought a gimbal, an iPhone, and will use a wind muff, and at times a GoPro, in videos after these... getting into it. Stay tuned, and thanks.
Yes John it was pretty good despite the wrong wind direction at times. We'll take what we can get. One lesson I did learn is that with sailing, you have to wait sometimes for the right conditions before you go. Can't be in a rush.
What a cool 23 footer. It's built like a ship. Thanks for the vid 👍🏼#161

Thanks for producing this video and taking us along for your experience with the boat. Can't wait for the next installment!
Thanks for connecting. It's our first experience at posting or even making videos except on our phones lol. Glad you enjoy them.

The bow on that reminds of a Formosa

Like your journey with boating/sailing, and DIY getting it fitted out to have fun. One request, please try to pan your camera slowly. Thanks.

Have fun. Where is this lake?
This is in Trinity Bay (Atlantic Ocean), Newfoundland & Labrador. Thanks for the question.
Couldn't get better weather.....
