Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my RUclips channel and channel members.
It’s time for YOU to get on the water. Come aboard!
Can't agree on the hate for dark wood... It's a completely personal taste issue. Some will see that as "dreary", as you put it, and depressing, but many people (Including myself) view that as cozy and warm, somewhere I want to curl up with a book. I've been looking at luxury catamarans (Can't really afford any, just planning for "some day") and I really hate how everything after 2007 or so is bright, light wood, or painted. It all looks like Ikea to me.
What amazes me is when people put their boats on the market and only provide pictures of the vessel that are full of their junk... It's repulsive and makes me want to run....
Thanks, Chris, for the education on the clear advantages of a dual helm over a single. I was unknowingly stuck in thinking it was an expensive gimmick for the most part.
Love your breakdown. Really appreciate your in-depth observations.
Wow, awesome channel, comprehensive and detailed.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Probably one of the most interesting and informative YT vids I've watched. Full of practical advice and experience. Thank you. 😊
Hey Chris ... about those boats in "New York" with the US/CDN prices. Those Lake Champlain boats were often boouight in Canada , sailed on Lake Champlain and stored every winter in Canada. Will be Canadian registered usually. Usually no purchase tax paid and possibly no import tax either. My boat was there and the sellers had never paid tax. The initial sales tax may need to be paid as well as the tax on this purchase. Some will say tax paid, or tax NOT paid depending, needs to be taken into account. We were able to escape the old tax, no duty as our boat was from NC!! Needs to be clarified on these boats
thank you

The catalina layout with the little table and 2 seats opposite the main lounge opens up a loft style living option for a couple or single handing. Use the lounge as the master bed (which is in the most comfortable location and by far the easiest starting point to dash up on deck, which can be required even at anchor), use the little table opposite for meals in bad weather, use the front cabin for storage and do a good job of the cockpit for entertaining. Agreed I don't like Catalinas so I wonder how hard it would be to convert a smaller jeanneau or beneteau.
I really like the Catalina 400 and there seems to be a lot of them on the market problem is most of them are pretty wore out... And a bit over priced. Hmm Maybe the Beneteau 40 is a better option.
I Watch your videos regularly for motivation, I’m still in university studying Computerscience and have a long way to go. My dream is it to work from boat and maybe I can do that as a programmer (will still be difficult but if I could work from boat I wouldn’t mind less pay). I have a good idea of what I want as that will depend solely on my end budget. If I have the money I’ll buy a cat for comfort and cruising (and I guess with something like a lagoon44 or comparable you could make an Atlantik crossing?) but if I have less budget than 200k I’ll for sure buys monohole as old cats are terrible and the monos is comparison you just wouldn’t buy a cat.
That's amazing, you can totally do it , its great that you are so focused on it now and can learn so much before you eventually purchase. Thank you so much for watching and computer science is an awesome degree that I am sure you can eventually put to use in the marine industry. Hats off to you sir

I found mine for $150k and offered em $65k.. we settled on $85k, and I spent at least $60k on getting it ready

Very useful information!
You should sticky this video in your videos about selecting a boat
make sure to turn on live chat if you are catching this as it premiers, live chat doesn't always show for some reason so make sure you toggle it on
The greatest thing about Catalina is they hold their value well even some of the older ones...
Good old school charles barkley pull lol!!
I'm currently in north Carolina. I've been following this situation in California and South Florida. To my understanding the law is being transferred from the federal level to the state level which is bad for us cruiser livaboards. I understand both sides. I wish our laws were made by the people for the people but unfortunately in this field most of the laws are for the real estate markets. Seems pretty simple that if your ship isn't sea worthy it should be towed and dry docked after sufficient time for taking action of course. I believe this would fix most of the problems. Anyways I'm certain that we'll be losing this way of life soon and not because of the bums but because as the powers that be are attacking off grid living they'll be attacking any way of life that gives us more freedom than our handlers are comfortable with. Although this whole system may break before we get there and then we'll have bigger things to deal with. Anyways, thanks for the video!
Something about the Hunter 450 passage I really kind of dig.... I guess it checks most all of the boxes....hmm
Thanks Chris. All great info. I wish I had the $105,000. for that Cycledes 43.3. The used charter fleet deals are amazing. Besides having your consultation is there a need for USA citizen to have some type of "handler" when buying a boat in Greece?

In Grenada 2011 Beneteau oceanis 40 for $129k thoughts?
new video premier shortly come say hello ruclips.net/video/uLwM3TFXjV8/видео.htmlsi=91Jd0kYTUksFpRzC
you should probably clarify that what you mean is a 15hp outboard with a 9.9 sticker kit to get around the fuzz in a lot of countries.
Bro why did you skip the beneteau cyclades 515 around the 1h40min mark? Would had loved you to check it out

The blue hanging thing on the 2008 Sun Odyssey is a drying rack for weed after trimming. But I've noticed Sailors using it to store their fruits instead of in the mini hammock. More space and less crushing, seems to work better.
HAHHAH, well played
I thought it was a cat house

Good information. I would suggest multiple videos instead of two hours.
for 100K ???...Grand Soleil 46.3 2004 in Croatia...great videos man!!!...
alright man, you are killing me. You reckon 15hp outboard which needs a half decent dink and you also reckon don't put the outboard on the back rail. How do I make that work on a 35 footer? needs it's own video really
fair enough
@@ChasingLatitudes you aren't wrong about the size of the dinghy. It's the main problem with smaller boats and it's a pita on almost all boats. I wish boat designers would think about it more.
Love your videos. I learn much, but I don't always know the background to your comments and/or why you don't like something. For example, why do you think "comfort ratio" or "capsize screening formula" are useless ratios? Maybe you covered it and I missed it? Thanks for your content! You've helped wean me off from romanticizing the "classic plastics" built in Taiwanese shipyards.
I also wonder why Chris so cavalierly dismisses the capsize ratio which was implemented after the famous 1979 Fastnet sailing disaster which occurred during the Round Great Britain with the loss of many boats and lives - with boats failing to return upright after being rolled. Boats with lower numbers are presumed more likely to return upright faster (and more surely) than boats with numbers over 200. The ratio was enabled (and still tracked) by naval architects to help prospective boat buyers get a safer boat if they plan any offshore sailing. Modern boats with wide transoms, flat coach roofs, are more likely to stay upside down for a much longer period than a narrower hull. And the comfort ratio is another estimate - with a higher number usually meaning the crew will arrive more rested than boats with a lower number. I have sailed on boats with low and high comfort numbers and think the ratio holds true. To each his own... I guess.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. yes I have covered that so much in numerous videos I tend to try not to harp on why those numbers are useless in every video

Any chance you know your way around small commercial vessels like 40 foot aluminum landing craft?
Yes sir
@@ChasingLatitudes I am looking to piece together a landing craft for the South West Florida area. I am a machinist and mechanic with the ability to fabricate whatever. Cash is the hard part. Obviously not in the place to book your full consulting deal but would you be willing to take a call or two so we could mull the idea around etc. And would you want? Thanks for responding at all!

Great video Chris, love your brutality honest commentary. Have you known anyone that has bought from the moorings? I’m watching the channel Paradise Falls and they got the runaround for a year before taking delivery. Wondering if that is the norm?

What about a countertop RO machine for $300 - $600? Not a $5k unit, I know, but it's not $5k. Ok or just can't hack the sea water?

I don't know if I missed the part where you go through the Bavaria sailboat. If I have missed it, I would like to know why.? However, Bavaria is the largest manufacturer on the European market when it comes to sailboats. In that, Hunter is far, far behind. Bavaria 44-46 2000-2005 to get that like 100k.
What boat is that around 4:30 with the pilothouse?
Moody 41 ds

Major league
Buying a boat > house
You were doing well, then : „capsize screening formula and comfort ratio, means nothing!“… really? 😢
It literally means nothing
Sea sickness is purely psychological... I've seen guys at sea sick as a dog the minute they see land they're all well again...ha

Island packet falls in the category of ugliest boat built...
100 percent agree
I guess it if you want a caravan on water to pose on, listen to this guy, if you want some real meaningful information on real sailing yachts look elsewhere.
@srgpip5620 sure bud sure, you haven't crossed a bathtub let alone an ocean, come see me when you have half as many miles as I do
The silly girls jumping around on the boat ...are a little much for your lady sailors .. I totally get that girls are eye candy for your male viewers but having them jumping around like they are having seizures... it just makes... what you are trying to impart about buying a boat lightweight... also if you are going to have eye candy for men where is eye candy for the ladies ??? just saying that either play to both viewer types or lose the silly jumping girls LOL
