If you've watched both of these videos you might wonder why they seem almost the same: What's the Best Sailing Yacht? ruclips.net/video/COr6l02vmU8/видео.html Why Buying a Boat is NOT Like Buying a Car!!! ruclips.net/video/z_UVUFRGSXk/видео.html The reason is they are, except I created the top one when I was much newer at editing and recording voiceovers and I've learned so much since then, so I recently tweaked, re-edited, and re-recorded the same video idea again in the second video to see if there would be any differences in viewer satisfaction. If you've seen both videos please leave a comment to let me know if there has been any improvement or if I can stop obsessing about such things! Thanks for watching!
Just buy any boat which suits you. Boats do not fall apart, regardless of the brand. We are living since 3 years on our Beneteau, crossed the Atlantic ocean, went back to Europ and we are actually in the Canaries. We had not a single problem. You often read that you need to budget 10 to 15% of the boat value to yearly maintenance. Our yearly maintenance budget is between 3% and 5% and that includes full insurance
Honestly I've been looking at the interior as one of the last things to consider. I've put the underside of the boat first. Then the top side (Deck, rigging) After that, the interior, and lastly the looks. If money wasn't an issue, I think a Kraken 50 would likely be the best for what I want to do. (Sing-Handed Full time live aboard world cruising) Encapsulated Keel, Skeg Hung Rudder, Heavy Layup, Center Cockpit, Sloop.
That would be a great topic for a video - I've added it to the list! Normally steer the boat as though you were going to tack, but don't release and backwind the jib, and lash the tiller to counteract the backwinded jib. That said, our F-82R also just sits nicely head to wind in irons, so that's also a stable "resting" configuration for us.

Sounds like you’re taking great care of your boat and able to do lots of the work yourself!
Personally, I do not like the charter sailboats made by the French, but I agree with you one hundred percent.
@@SailingTipsCa of course we take care of “our house” and yes we do almost everything ourselves.
@@ArazQizilbash Lots of boats designed for the charter market offer lots of space but are of limited practicality for extended or offshore sailing!
After two sailboat ownerships over 12 years, the best brand is OPB!
Yes - other people's boats - LOL!!!

Sounds like you know exactly what features you want which is great - far better to know that before you purchase than to find out six months later!
Thank you
Welcome - glad you found it helpful!
Thanks again Garry. I remember John Green asking me “ do you know how to heave too?” On a trimaran?
I have read how to but maybe a

The choice is simple really: either a Corsair trimaran or a Danish Dragonfly tri, depending on taste and money shortages....
I like your line of thinking!!!
Haha! I came here to say that!
