Finding yet another amazing deal on a sailboat for sale in Maine, Captain Q finds a 1974 Scheel 45 - a center cockpit ketch sailboat.

With an impressively long waterline (39') this comfortable and spacious cruiser may not stay on the market in the time that it took us to record and post it!!!

Rewatching this one so I can see what Ran-Day got for himself. I love the beautiful green, and anything with two masts is already way up there!
Literally doing exactly the same
As am I
Bingo! I remember watching 1st time and thinking this is a boat that I would like to have. After seeing the electrical locker, not so sure.😬 Still a great boat and once he gets that squared away the rest of the projects will be more enjoyable. Curious if anyone knows, would you just rip that out and redo from scratch or chase and trace lines. I know nothing about this stuff but always learning.
@@robertryan627 I see no reason to rip it all out. Just inspect/redo all the connections, then LOTS of tie wraps.
me too :-)) Randy Congratulations on your boat purchase, beautiful.
Morgan bought the molds and rights to this design, and made them very similar to the original for 1 year ('78). Moorings the got involved, and they made some modifications, but did not change the basic design much. This was the Morgan 461 (sloop rig) and 462 (ketch). I circumnavigated on a Morgan 461 and my conclusion was that, to find a better boat for my travels, I would have had to spend 10X the money. These are great boats.
Thank you, Doug!! I’ve pointed a few people private towards the 461/462 but it’s great to hear the positive experience! It’s a testament to Scheel’s design prowess!
No wonder i love this boat... Since i like the morgan catalina style of cockpit in the middle
Just discovered your channel, and as someone with NO sailing experience, your explanations are incredibly helpful and well done.
I feel exactly the same
Me too. Iwanted to buy that boat so much because of the descrption.
And ..British Racong Green with a zgold stripe!
The only thing you need to remember is "Stay on the surface". Primitive people crossed oceans in CANOES!

Just wanted to say that you guys are honestly the BEST new RUclips “sailing/yachting” channel and duo to come around in the YT boating space in a long time!
Capt Q is simply world class, 10/10, and an absolute solid gold host, guide, narrator, and expert in all things sailing....and your camera work, editing, use of drone shots, EXCELLENT sound and soundtrack editing and volume levels....I mean what more can I say- truly a PLEASURE to watch EVERY one of your video, I love what you guys are bringing to this space of YT sailboat/yacht channels, and I think the SKY is the truly the ONLY limit as to how successful, respected and admired your wonderful channel can grow to!
Cheers and many thanks, especially to Capt Q...between his almost unreal level of knowledge and experience, to how amazing he flows with his narration, comedy relief, amazing little tidbits and facts of wonderful knowledge he adds in, to his overall MASTER level understanding of sailboats and their shapes, history, features, engineering concepts, etc etc....wow, just wow!
I’m afraid we are at a loss for words now after that Speedy ! Lol but thank you very much for your kind thoughts
@@YachtHunters it's for sale at brewer yachts. Dealing with brokers isn't really your thing. It just seems cheap and it's simply not selling. When my living situation changes in a few years I'll probably pick up a tartan 31. Two best days in a boaters life and all..... But I miss sailing......
😢3
I came back to see what Ran-Day got for his new home. It is an older boat with good B&G electronics. Very pretty sailboat. Happy Trails
5:10 Those scratches come from the anchor chain when the boat is anchored in situations with opposing wind and current. The boat will lay funny over the anchor and make those sweeping scratches. Happened several times on a Mason 44 that I used to own.
fantastic insight -- that makes total sense given the shortness of the bowsprit.... our cameraman, rand-day, was commenting on how he wanted to see a longer bowspirt on her... Thanks!!
A couple of dark colour pool noodles split length ways once and slipped onto the chain ..might stop that if your concerned with them staying on wrap some velcro straps round then to stop the split opening and the chain popping out.
As they float they will stay mostly above the water line.
Worth a try if your going to be at anchor a while and not on watch?
Tide rhode
It makes me happy that Ran-Day got this boat. It looks fabulous, and he'll look fabulous at the helm! 😀
Don't own a boat and never will, but from watching all the other vids on RUclips with boats, it's $$$$ to buy and even more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to fix and maintain ! Good luck !
That's pretty sage advice from a non-boat owner!!! You are definitely correct!! :)
No one can present a boat like captain Q; knowledge, style, class and humor. What a delight and what a gorgeous boat.
That's very kind of you. thank you!
I like the cards that explain sailor language :)
thanx
@@YachtHunters Greetings Captain Q Should you run across a 45' to 55" mast head cutter rigged sloop with inside steering, between 35k to 50k, in good condition. A email would be appreciated. Frank
this is my kind of boat , just big enough but not too big and the "porch" for the master cabin is great
they only built 6 of these originally who knows where the rest are
Randy buys this beautiful sailboat ⛵️
This is such a nice boat. I loved the Morgan 462 and was in our family for a very long time. It is so hard to believe the 39k price for this boat. At least 40k lower than any 462 or 461. If I can do it over again, I would buy the original and dedicate 16 months full time to bring it back to pristine condition. This will set me for life. Can travel through France and all the Med. My lifetime dreams. Thank you Captain for keeping my dream alive.
Sounds like a plan to us! We understand that she did sell for above asking price… which is unusual but not unheard of in current times
Well done Ran'day. If you got this for under 40 grand, you got an absolute steal!
I need 35,000 people to send me a dollar. Then in the spring of ‘21, I’ll take her through the Panama Canal, headed for French Polynesia! At 76 years of age, you would call this, “Choosing my mountain!”
i think we were in the same high school class lol
@@YachtHunters
That would be just grand, sir. Love the videos; wis I’d have known way sooner.
When I get my boat I'm bringing Captain Q with me to help with the decision!
love to help
i am plannin to learn sailing and buy a boat in 2021. Your channel is just amazing for someone like me. SO much information for people like us. I wish you lived near me in philadelphia.
Maine is definitely closer than Sydney Australia....thanks for your wish
Sailed a Sheels 45 on the first Marion Bermuda Race in 77
Great to see the Scheel 45 again. Henry was a dear friend and the perfect gentleman. The aft Cockpit was so Henry could enjoy his morning pipe without offending his guests. The bathtub started as a joke but materialized as a favorite of most owners. The design was sold to Morgan when Henry was working for them designing the boats for Disney. I believe they eliminated the aft cockpit and the centerboard. Henry would be so pleased with your video. It brings back wonderful memories for me.
Robert, thank you so much for sharing some inside knowledge.... his designs are wonderful, and it’s so pleasing to hear those little details. We know several people that would buy the boat because of the tub!! Funny joke = clever success... just brilliant. Love the pipe story too... thank you!!!
As a smoker I knew exactly why the aft cockpit was included. Dedicated smoking section in’74. Classic and ahead of it’s time all in one. Plus the split bunks in the “primary” stateroom probably leads to longevity of a couple cruising successes lol.
If only this was in my neck of the woods...Never ever thought you'd find one of these under 50k! Great channel!
Maybe one day!
A beautiful boat for 1973, love the design and the price is unbelievable.
We agree!
She's a beautiful boat. The dream would be on something similar by 65-70. I am 44 now, goals!
I got the same goals and am the same age. Stacking Au and Ag to make it happen. If it cannot buy my farm, it will buy my yacht!
So glad to discover this channel! It is like Hemmings Barn Hunter for sailboats!
Hi Captain Q
I just found your channel and have watched all your videos and I absolutely love them. I live in Australia and have grown up all my life with boats but not sail boats, and therefore have very little if no experience in sailing. My goal is to one day buy a sailing yacht and get out and sail these amazing oceans this world has to offer. You are amazing with your knowledge and description and explanation of the boats you show, I love ep 11 and that boat. I have subscribed and now look forward to watching and learning and hopefully one day soon be in a position to purchase a boat like that 45 foot. a beautiful yacht.
THANK YOU
You’ve given me a great appreciation for these older(vintage) boats! I see all these new boats with their bells and whistles and think that means they sail better. You can tell they built a sailboat and then added the goodies. Newer boats seem to meet the goodies and build the sailboat around it. Thanks again!
Thanks for the kind words!! We think you can get a lot of boat for the $$ if you look hard enough (and get a good survey too)!! This one was especially great... given all the surprising features. Cheers!
I’ve watched all your videos on sailboat tours and this is my favorite of them that I’ve seen. I lived on a Bayliner Buccaneer 320 for a few years.
Good God! Find another one of these! This is a beautiful boat! I would have bought it if I had known!
apparently there are only 5 left in existence.... but you can also find the similar hull with a Morgan 461 or 462 (they bought the molds from Scheel)
Hi Rodney how are you doing☺️
Okay, Randay got it. Good luck to him. I will keep on looking. Love so much this boat.
What's nice about this video is it gives a person a starting point. $39k is my new benchmark in a 45 foot beautiful sailboat that can likely just be ready to go immediately without any serious work, just routine repairs and maintenance needed going forward, probably continuous but that's to be expected.
Cap'n , I've watched a lot of your vids, and this boat is the one I've liked the most. Yeah, you've shown bigger and more expensive ones, but this one struck a cord with me, and even if I had billions, this is the one I'd buy.
If you didn't know already, Randay bought this beautiful boat and has some good and entertaining videos on it
It’s a very special one… quite unique and well-built. As Atom has pointed out, Ran-day ended up being the owner and is on the journey of bringing up back to modern standards. Check it out here m.ruclips.net/video/yfNatuRWuOI/видео.html
Now that’s a nice cruiser. Great engine too. Good access. Yeah, and for that pricce, wonderful. Assuming all good structurally. I see that somebody jumped oni it. Good.
Wow, the winches are electrified! Lol
makes it pretty easy!
My parents circumnavigated the globe in an Endurance. This boat reminded me of a big version of their boat. Go buy it and hit the sea!
9:33 Wow, that's a lotta headroom. And "open concept", look at all that room. And that aft cockpit, it's, well...romantic!!
What a gorgeous boat. Love the classic lines over the modern slabside stuff.
Late comment, that is a nice boat. Been watching on and off for a while now and love this one. Considering the varied prices of the different boats, this one seems a great value.
I am new to your channel and love your boat reviews. You gush time after time about the boats you are looking at. I think that’s because you have really fine taste in boats. You don’t seem to review poorly designed yachts. You are fun to watch, knowledgeable, and inspirational. If my knees weren’t so shot I’d be out shopping for something like the ones you are reviewing. Man, this one was a nice boat.....
Thanks very much! If it floats it gets a 10 😉
Wow cant believe this boat didnt sell within a week of this video! What a steal of a deal
just looked at this video a second time. Randy, I truly understand why you bought this boat. An excellent boat for the money. Definitely is high on my list! Congratulations, and I hope to see more of your videos.
Yes, great value, and appears to be in overall good condition. But it will be labor of love to keep her going. All the wiring, plumbing and other systems are 46 years old and either need to be proactively replaced at considerable cost, or fixed as they fail. (ugh) From the video, the anchor windlass looked completely knackered, and that old diesel will need an expensive replacement. We also didn't see sails which may need immediate replacement. And for me dual bunks aft is a non-starter. Few couples are going to be OK sleeping apart. If they are, they probably shouldn't be buying a boat together! LOL
I am attempting to just forge a feeling for the boats we see . The minutia i leave to surveyors and mechanics and sailmakers. I have found few double/queen berths in after cabins that work well Gulfstar 50 s allow you a choice but most others are an issue that grows with age ...owners age that is due to night time liaisons with the white bowl in the water closet ..who gets out first ?lol and even older cruisers can enjoy the separate berths ...so ists often and age issue lol
thanks for your note
@@YachtHunters Well, I would absolutely need a walk around queen, as you are correct - no one wants to climb over their loved one to get to the head in the middle of the night. There are quite a few designs in this size range. And I appreciate that you are not doing a video survey, but analyzing layout, overall condition, value for money, etc. It certainly seemed well taken care of for an old boat. And I'm like you - ANY old boat has it's appeal. I've bought one or two of them. (Much smaller, though)
@@YachtHunters well said. I’m fine with the separate beds. My wife may need educating. I also find it challenging to find one on a boat with adequate room to get in and out which occurs more frequently each year.
@@dbc7772011 yes the engine is most likely on a life line. Work at a auto parts store. Even late 80's are hard to find correct parts for. Not to mention if you're in different country might be even harder to repair.
I appreciate all the definitions and illustrations that this channel provides. Makes us nubies a little less ignorant of what we’re seeing. Thank you 👍🏼
Well, we appreciate the kind words… thanks, Bill
I love the boat finders, sailors, people who get me inside the boats..Yours is my first new sub in awhile, so good to see you making vids, this first one I've seen has my interest. Thank you. One thing though - if you are 6' even, as I am, and the headroom anywhere is 6'1" or smaller, never wear a cap with a button on the crown like the one you were wearing - sooner or later you will get a painful button-bump on top of your head, and it hurts!
This is true!! I think there are some permanent indentations from the smaller boats!
Looking forward to seeing Randy sailing in the Spring.
This is probably my favorite boat yet. That you've shown on your channel. Hopefully they made more than one.
They made six in total… the molds were sold to Morgan, who adapted them to make the 461 & 462 with some different features
@@YachtHunters The layout of this boat etc... This boat is by far my favorite.
@@YachtHunters I can't wait to see what you do with her. Keep the the videos coming. I use your channel for relaxation.
I had my eye on this. Glad to hear someone will enjoy her.
Okay, you intrigue us. You have earned our subscription. We are going to be buying a boat soon. We want a bluewater boat, because we want to sail higher lats. However, we do not have a large budget. We have looked at Endeavors, Island Packets, and Hans Christians to name a few. We want to keep it under 45 foot, and around a 12 to 14 foot beam. We have been on boats under 12 foot beam, and they seam cramped. We are planning a trip to Florida after the first of the year to look at more boats. I hope to video the whole adventure and put it up on youtube, so stay tuned.
in-mast furling mainsail too....I would never buy a large sailboat...except this one ;) Congrats to the buyer!!!!!
Thanks! (Ran-day was the final buyer)
This thing is nuts with the shower and tub!
And the 2nd cockpit aft! And then this happened: EP 1: ruclips.net/video/yfNatuRWuOI/видео.html
The dark green is decorated with the gold line, which is so beautiful.
Hadn't seen this, but having watched RanDay's "Bought a Boat" series, I had to. I can imagine RanDay's gears turning as Cap Q complimented this boat in so many ways.
Uh oh, I'm going to need to watch all of your videos now. Thanks for the great tour of an amazing boat!!
Much appreciated!! Cheers
Definitely a strong looking vessel beautiful woodwork !
Center cockpit is my favorite. Well protected with less motion.Very good taste Randy. Your PB.
Grate channel.
Will love to see some newer boat Servey . ⛵
in the milll thank you
I love that this channel exists and that I'm seeing boats in the marinas I know! So cool. Thanks so much.
thank you!
Wow, I can’t believe the price on your boats you two are able to discover, truly treasures. Fantastic video.
Can you explain to me the price. She seems soo undervalued. Am I missing something here?
I agree great price point.
Great find you channel and perfect boat now I can’t find one !! Just perfect !!
Great job looking forward to more vids
Welcome aboard!
Congrats Ran-day on your purchase of this
Very nice boat. The after cockpit is the cherry on top. You are correct sir.
Nice boat. There should be more like this one.
I wish I could find a boat like this for the same price in Sweden!
Buy it and sail it back when you can
Henry S. An Charlie Morgan
Designed the com-Pac 35' which can be purchased today from Hutchen co in Clearwater Fla..it's a great sailing boat that points up like a 6' draft but only draws 4 foot. Henry was a aeronautical engineer an well as a sailing yacht designer...
I like the seat at the navigation desk I am going to refit my boat this may come in handy great idea
great little fold out number... only takes up about 1.5" when stowed. Let us know how it goes ;)
I'm not surprised that boat sold so quickly. that is one of most impressive vessels I have seen.
This has become one of my favorite episodes!
Your films are such a treat fellas, thank you!
One of my favorite sail boats. 😊😊😊😊
I love your channel, you guys are great, and Capt.Q thanks for knowledge passed on, doesn't happen enough in irl, let alone on social/new media. I am currently searching for what will be my very own yacht, first and last I think, this just the sort of vessel I would take in a heartbeat, if there where anything like it here in Australia for the price. I love your work guys, keep it up, you'll never run out of boats for sale there, so by the look of it your channel will just keep growing, fair winds gentlemen😭.
I’ve been looking at boats for the past year and I just stumbled upon your channel today with this boat.Everything I wanted was in this boat, they aft cockpit was really cool.. I know de rigging probably needs to be replace plus I’m sure a lot of other things but a great price.. so all I could do now is watch this video a few times again and dream but I did subscribe to your channel and look at every day.
Welcome aboard!
This video just popped up on my recommended. Great video. I subscribed. I recently purchased a mid 80’s Jeanneau. Too far into the renovations now. But if I had seen this first, I would have bought this boat 5 times over. This boat has everything. And more.
Thanks for the sub! and stay with the one you brought to the dance you have invested yourself in her and will be roundly rewarded
thanks for saying hi
You’re right, but man, that’s a nice sailboat.
I came back to watch this video again I think this would be a great boat for me
Appreciate the Red Green suspenders. Keep up the good work, really enjoy the channel and hope to hop on one of these deals someday.
They are tell tale suspenders?
rewatching it too.
This is such wonderful content that imparts legitimate wisdom.
This fantastic boat reminds me of the 70s car building style in the US. It's all way too big for what you need....but endlessly beautiful to watch. Other times with a bit less people everywhere.
I’m surprised that was under $40K, but not surprised it’s already sold.
Just now developing my interest in sailing. If boats of this quality can be found at this price, it makes the sailing seem like an attainable dream!
I’ve watched this episode when it first came out…but on this occasion I’m stunned at the price…probably the best deal you’ve presented…whom ever bought it got the deal of the decade…
Randay scored big here
Wow. Been watching a long time. Assuming the rigging sails and systems aren’t to bad, looks like you got about 50k worth of equity on this. I had to read the comments to find out more even though she isn’t for sale. Congrats and looking forward to the RanDay’s boat vids.
Skipper, I'd love for you to find us our next boat.
I love how he politely directs the ever wandering camera dude!
i cant let Ran Day see that :-)
At 6:08 "This catches me." I see what you did there. (Ketch) I love the content. Very happy this made into my recommendations. You have a new subscriber.
actually , it's a yawl

Capt Q loves sailboats. He can just feel the pull of the wind and the waves when he relaxes. 3 cheers.
That is a beautiful vessel.
Loved the "Diva" nautical term!
Wowser wowser. Enjoy every show? Great entertainment for this 85 yr old.
welcome aboard!!
@@YachtHunters located you on Facebook.
Love your insight . Always enjoyable to see you have a great day.
Love seeing the beautiful Luders 16 in your intro. I sail a Luders 21 in Cincinnati.
Very cool!
Hi Ken how are you doing☺️
Nice purchase Ran-Day. It didn't occur to me that this was your boat until at least 1/2 way through the video.
Yeah it was too unique to pass up after we toured it… but had to wait 2-3 months for things to fall my way.. still feel very lucky to be the owner. Thanks!
Someone is going to get an awful lot of boat for the money! Wow!
I would have bought this immediately! She’s a rare find for sure, and the price…..amazing! I will keep looking, I only wish we were related….lol
Awesome presentation. Beautiful boat. And, I'm only 20 miles from York. Buying a boat right now would be a horrendously bad idea for me. But, considering the long list of stupid things I've done, what's one more.... :-) Thank you, Captain, for sharing your knowledge and insight! As a wannabe sailer, you make it seem so "reachable!" Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is an interesting design.
I like videos on 38-48 ft hulls, center cockpit, a cabin behind cockpit, live aboard, narrow stern, ketch w/ under $125k asking price . Features I found interesting: steel, coach, canoe stern.
"It's like another state room... for someone who wants to eat a lot" - Donning pink pants, christmas suspenders, and a fluorescent orange hat; Captain Q, you're a gem.
lmaorotf thank you
Beautiful boat. Steel of a deal.
This boat is my favorite of the boats you've shown thus far.
good taste she was beauty
Great Video, great boat, very innovative for it's time:)
Second cockpit is cool, but I would trade it for a double bed and aft stateroom size!!!
Our camerman and editor would probably agree with you.... as an epilogue to this episode the Scheel molds were sold to Morgan and subsequently the Morgan 461 and 462 are nearly the same hull with the exception that they changed the aft layout to something more to your liking..... so I think we know what boat you need to go buy now!! Cheers!!
Brilliant coverage of the race, thank you
What a very enjoyable video showing a knowledgeable walkthrough with great chemistry and an interesting boat.
Many thanks.... much appreciated!! :)
My dream...lord if a poor soul like myself could but afford this beauty, I'd jump at the opportunity. It's affordable...only outside my budget
Keep looking Trevor. There are boats within your budget. You might even see one on this channel :)
This boat could easily be a live aboard, and financing is likely at or near house rates and length of contract (10 or 20 years)
My boat was 10K with the deal that I will only sell it back to the previous owner when I am ready. I am 51, she is early 30. When I am 70 she can have it back , and have her turn. Be creative!
Get another job for a while
Being 6'2" and 17-18 stone, I enjoy the Captain Q measuring stick has a relatable reference.
my kind of guy lol
