Ran-Day laughing when capt Q opened the extremely shallow port cockpit locker killed me! If you put a sandwich in there you’d get a panini afterwards! 😂
Love the suspenders Captain Q. At the wee age of 4 while coming to harbor my Dad taught me the infamous red right return. The next morning leaving dock for the striper run I said to Dad green, go, get. It was then he smiled with those blue eyes and said you are on your way to become a navigator at best. At least we gonna get some fish for dinner. Thank you Captain Q and Randayy.
Ah, Captain Q - Your knowledge is broad and I've greatly appreciated that. Please keep creating your wonderful videos. I think you missed something on this one. Shannons are "semi-custom" bluewater boats. They are expensive - and worth it - though victims of the rule of diminishing returns. I worked for Shannon (Walter Schultz) in the 1980s building 38s, the first 37, and a couple of 50s. Then at his boatyard I launched a couple of his 43s - my favorite. If you ever get to see a Shannon 43 GO FOR IT! That beautiful interior woodwork? Yes it was original. For a while I built some. It was arduous work overseen by meticulous and experienced Rhode Island craftsmen. Not an assembly line. These boats could and should go anywhere. That was the whole Shannon deal. Monk Farnham had sailed a Shannon 28 around the world and that was the mark of the company. If you owned a Shannon you could sail anywhere - across any ocean. So I am also surprised at your low score. We spoke about Sunfishes a few weeks ago. I love them. Quite differently, the Shannon is a niche boat but it fills that niche extraordinarily well. It's a tough business, the sailboat business - with lots of ups and downs especially at the high end that Shannon occupies. They've had theirs. It's a super-well designed and built traditional bluewater boat. Period. I truly enjoy your reviews. This one got a lighter treatment that might have given more. Please keep 'em coming!
Captain Q I believe you are correct. Boats up north are kept in much better condition. Very nice boat again. Well done video Randy. I really enjoy the commentary. Lots of knowledge under that Captains hat.
That's a no from me captain Q. Main reason is liveaboard comfort. For 100 Gs I want a full gorgeous cabin to sleep in so centre cockpit for me. The aft berth made me claustrophobic just looking at it.
remember these ratings are based on my desires ...and if i cant squeeze my frame into various spaces , the boat will not appeal. I do see people with healthier diets loving this girl
I love that satin finish on the woodwork! She looks like a fantastic boat. Though I would likely have trouble fitting my own measuring stick into that nav desk as well, lol. Gonna make someone a lucky sailor.
It coould be Steve, but i rate based on my ability to fit and find a function for all and i think i am definitely just too big for her .. In all fairness , she was in winter storage mode and with all the cushions in place and tidied it might give a different feel ,,, its the twenty pounds of mud into a five pound bag that was my issue...thank you
Its so fun watching Captain Q walk around a Shannon long before learning so much about Randy's boat and the time spent with Walter (the builder). Imma dream big, about 39 ft big, one day.
Dear Capt .Q , and by way of contractual agreement, dear Ran. Update on my persuite of INDIGO. I am in contact with the owner, thanks To you.. There is someone in discussion with the owner at this time. It will come as no surprise to you both, that I am Smitten by Indigo.. So much so , that I am in the process of setting up a. " go fund me" page, as a disabled person, I am trying to ask the owner to consider paying a premium , in order to improve my chances to secure, what I believe to be the most beautiful boat I have seen. I'm sure you both agree. Wish me luck dear friends. Pete West Australia. Manny Thanks.
I noticed the port & starboard nav lights are perpendicular to the horizon! otherwise they would be illegal! (would need leveling) . some don't me spec!
Captain Q that’s a 39 ft, super solid, blue water cruiser, capable of a circumnavigation and in great condition. For $109k , I have to disagree with your low rating... perhaps you could explain that a little more... I don’t like that quarter berth, but otherwise a fantastic cruiser for 1/6th the price of a new boat, in sail away condition... I’m giving it an 18 .
A great heirloom / very high quality ship / hull built to last and take hits. Not particularly roomy or fast but beautiful, comfortable, and solid and a very different beast than many modern performance oriented hulls with vulnerable skinny tall fin keels and exposed rudders.
Clearly it lost points because the Capn couldn't fit in the navigation chair and had no chance with the quarterberth without being smeared with 10lbs of butter and manoevered in and out with the world's largest sink plunger. I thought for a 39ft boat it felt very cramped inside, but its certainly solid enough.
Setting at least 2 anchors is very common and smart unless you are just anchoring for lunch. Really important in crowded anchorage’s bc the idiot that drags latches on to everyone else. The other main reason is so that when the current changes direction the boat shifts it’s weight from one anchor to the other.
Spot on. I have a Shannon 38, the predecessor to the 39, a bit more old-fashioned (full-keel ketch), but it's an exquisitely crafted vessel that will last several lifetimes. I wouldn't trade her for anything.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 That's why I chose her! And she does have a shapely derriere! Even though I already have a boat with no intention of buying another for many years, I still watch all your videos. I learn a lot from your vast knowledge. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
I was surprised that you did not provide the history of the builder and doubly surprised of the very, very low score. Look forward to your show every week!
@@YachtHunters That's a great point, CQ. I'm 6'3" and about 225 lbs, so I really appreciate these videos and being able to put myself into your virtual shoes to judge how I might or might not fit. Anyway, great show, guys!
68 gallons of fuel and 87 gallons of water? Not my idea of a blue water cruiser unless you mean cruise out to blue water then turn back for fuel and water, it is more of a weekend cruiser unless you enjoy pain. It is very cramped and sardine can like. I do think is lovely for short term sailing but severely lacking for a blue water cruiser. The aft cockpit makes the interior space that of a much smaller boat, I cannot imagine trying to sleep in either berth in heavy weather. The condition is very nice for the age but it lacks everything except a nice polish. I agree with your score, maybe a point or two low, but considering what the boat isn't the score was very fair.
Listening With Jack that’s a lot of fuel and water for a 39 ft boat. Most blue water cruisers are relatively cramped inside, , larger interiors let the occupants get thrown about at sea
Great one guys, Walter builds a great boat, this model was built for the Morgan freeman and he sailed it around the Caribbean for many years until he sold it a few years ago. Looking forward to the next episode. 😎
12.75? For this stunning vessel? You must have been grumpy that day. I mean, yes, you’ve softened up this season, handing out 25s and 30s like candy, but geeze, that was a harsh rating, even in your first season.
Any chance you will be marketing your Captain Q Port/Starboard suspenders at the Capt'n Q web store? I think I need a pair before I purchase my first sailboat.
Thank you for imparting all the Sailboat knowledge. Wondering if you could do an overall show sometime, highlighting a few things. I am sure many of the questions here depend on the condition of the specific vessel. How many years after new purchase does a boat lose most value - and the value begins to stabilize? Is there a sweet spot for cost, safety, reliability? What is your opinion on the ideal time (age) to buy a vessel if you are serious about a live-aboard for several years. At what age of the boat do you need to consider "total cost" retrofit trade-offs? Gel Coat, electrical, electronics, engine, water containments and fuel containments. Is there a tipping point? I know these are multi-variable equations that have to be considered with make, model and condition. Keep up the great work educating us on fit, form and function. I am enjoying every episode.
Captain Q - great work as always! I was just in St. Petersburg Florida and stopped in their boat show. They had the Island Packet sailboats. Off topic, but what do you think of a 35 foot Island Packet for blue water? I liked the full keel and short draft. thanks!
electronics would need to be updated and upgraded to todays standard if you want to sail to the Bahamas, would be all it needs.. for 20k or so done right.
Beautiful boat! Thanks again for doing these videos! I wish I could put cash in hand! I learn something new in every video! Stay Safe and your partner there too!🙏🇺🇸🤙⛵⚓
Thank you I always enjoy your videos, a nice boat this week, not a great one but nice anyway. I think your lower than average rating is about right for this boat.( price feels a bit high) of course I'm an ignorant (and cheap) amateur. I thought of a few general questions you sometimes touch on, how does it handle in light winds? medium? high? how well it point into the wind? I'd like your opinion on dyneema rigging instead of stainless, it's tempting, given it's easier repairs under way.
I really enjoy these videos but I wouldb love to know more about The Captain. I know he had a naval background but was he a professional sailor or involved in the yachting world after he got out?
Thanks for the tour, Cap! Should mention that the Shannons are just about the most solidly built boats that money can buy. That girl will last forever if cared for (and honestly, even if not cared for). I've seen Shannon 38's from the 70's that look like they just rolled off of the factory floor.
That's a nice boat, solid and with great reputation. The interior though, to paraphrase Captain Q, it looks like the interior of a much smaller boat. But definitely a worthy choice for blue water.
The difference between most yachting people and Capt Q is he explains what this does and that does and why with a little humor and a lot of past experience knowledge and randy reminds him and will ask Questions 👍
Great Job! Well done Ran-Day and Commander Q! I always learn so much from you guys. Especially if you could include the opinion of how manageable a boat would be to be single hand sailor.
oh wow, I love it! I would probably put too much money into some modernization but I do love the deck and a lot about the down below. again when I compare it to modern ships its lacking some things I like, but its also 1/4 the price of those.
Like these videos probably never get to own a cruising boat but they do make me feel sailing is accessible to everyone. Plus I have learnt a lot about the jargon but also the function of boats, even to the point of how different Hull shapes can affect performance. Nice to share the knowledge
it wasn't a hit for someone of the Captain's frame... the quarter berth was not usable for him... but we marvel at most Shannons - some of the best sailboats ever built
We need someone like this on the West Coast. It's a bit to far to go to get a boat unless it is cheap but still ready to sailed back to the Pacific. Hmmmm, I may have hatched a bucket list item.
It is such a pleasure to be able to take in a small portion of your wisdom, thanks for sharing. I have yet to hear anything but praise for the Shannon boats.
That boat is great except for the electronic stuff on the lid above the engine. They will suffer from heat soak from the engine and if that alternator belt breaks it could take out all the wiring
It should be and maybe internally and connected to others as well www.boatus.com/expert-advice/expert-advice-archive/2012/july/how-do-sacrificial-anodes-work
PB for me. Every shortcoming turns to advantage when you are short: aft cabin just beside navigation desk, headroom... one guys pain is other guys joy. One thing I would love to change tho: switch stove and fridge. To keep the fridge away from hot engine. And price of course. Soooo many right details: quality, rigging setup, equipment, working desk, tankage... this baby is meant for me. One day...
it's just gorgeous... and as Walter will tell you.... it was designed with maintenance details in mind... we're right there with you in your appreciation of these. cheers!
@@YachtHunters I know, I know Ran-day. I've seen the whole interview and learned a thing or two about build process and Walters philosophy. Another big argument for me to like her. I've also seen Walters take down of your boat. Real fun to watch. I just need to get more money and find one of these Shannons in Europe. They are not easy to come by.
Love this channel not many channels that go.out and find good used boats I love love it. I'm in Bass Harbor about 4 mins down the road from Hinckley's so let us know next time u in sw harbor sealcove bass harbor we can meet up I'd love it :)
Thank you for the kind invitation...We love SW and we are trying to nail down a boat there. We are always looking "hither and yon" for random boats for sale regardless of size or condition etc. Feel free to alert us know if you should come across one. We will return .
Who ever buys this boat will be very happy with her, I think Shannon boat's are great. In saying that, this is the first Shannon I've seen that doesn't have them little oil lanterns . I wonder what happened to them ? I reckon that pirate sea bog may have them lol great boat guys
Love the videos, learn so much from you two. Randy keep asking those questions! Captain has a wealth of information .
Glad you like them!
You two are so much fun , thank you, keep these coming.

Ran-Day... wow! How did you get Don Johnson to stand in for Cap'n Q? (I miss Seadog, but none-the-less, well done!)
Enjoyable and informative, as always! I assume the small space idiom relates to not enough room to swing a cat o' nine tails?
Captain Q I believe you are correct. Boats up north are kept in much better condition. Very nice boat again. Well done video Randy. I really enjoy the commentary. Lots of knowledge under that Captains hat.
Thanks 👍

I'm not certain if that can be corrected but for the blue water long distance sailor , i would look at that as a huge and welcome storage area
The Shannon was a little disappointing for me and I love their 28. The Cheoy Lee and that Swedish boat are my favorites.
Good choices.
A live cat... That wants to be swung hahahahahahahababahabahabababhahahahhhahh
Yikes...12.75? Didn't understand the low rating. This one appeared to be well cared for and Shannon creates solid works of art:)
Yes, I agree.
what captain -q think about electric conversion sail boat?
This is one magnificent boat! Absolutely beautiful!!!
I'm surprised with your low rating on this Shannon.
Yea me too! I wonder why? The walk through seemed that this boat was a 16 or more on the Q scale!
remember these ratings are based on my desires ...and if i cant squeeze my frame into various spaces , the boat will not appeal. I do see people with healthier diets loving this girl
@@YachtHunters I get that.
I love that satin finish on the woodwork! She looks like a fantastic boat. Though I would likely have trouble fitting my own measuring stick into that nav desk as well, lol. Gonna make someone a lucky sailor.
What happened to Sea Dog? Is he guarding the Jaguars? Thought this boat was an easy 15.

true bring an offer help adjust the price

Do a catamaran!
With the shallow keel will there be excessive leeway when beating?
no not excessive but she is a cruiser and not a racer
No storage for the anchor chain?
directly below the cat
@@YachtHuntersat the risk of sounding stupid,what's a cat?
@@YachtHunters do you mean Capstan?
I was referring to the “wildcat “ which is the wheel on the windlass which mate the proper size chain to hoist the anchor
@@YachtHunters The couple on Uma just had one made for new chain that they bought. I watch them too! Didn't know it was called a cat!! Thanks!!
I’ll take two!
