“Sometimes you get these extraordinary moments of sailing, when everything turns white.” There is simply nothing quite like sailing by moonlight on one of those special nights. You gave me the goose bumps, Captain Q.
That's a boat that you possibly wouldn't look twice at, amongst many others in a marina. But, in terms of the value you get for the asking price, it has to be right up there with the best of them. Why spend a six figure sum on a Beneteau or similar, when there are gems like this to be snapped up. Thanks again, for such an expert and thorough tour of the boat.
A true sailor knows the Allied boats well, I would pick that one out in a New York minute in a marina filled with broad beamed, flat transomed, plumb stemmed, no shear Beneteau Clorox bottles.
i bought one an allied seawind mark 2 ketch a couple of years ago. built in US . lives in north of scotland. she is an absolute gem. love her. incredible build qaulity and so easy to sail.. never even heard of this build before i stumbled on it. a very underrated boat.
Yet another interesting and informative episode that shows Captain Q's full command and mastery of his sailing business. His unique abilities and skills in presenting sailing boats for possible customers while at same time being able to give them good and honest advice is quite admirable.
As always it's great to see Captain Q and Randay going through a remarkable boat. Whoever takes this vessel on is, I'm sure, going to have years of magnificent adventures in front of them. Thanks, Captain and Randay, for showing us one more amazing vessel.
Wow! If it Wasn’t for the fact that I live in Belgium, I’d go buy this boat today as my first sailboat. I’d definitely change the plumbing and add a radar/gps if it’s not equipped with those, fix the deep sounder and sail it down to the Caribbean. I want to thank you for opening my eyes and realise I don’t need to win the lottery to become a sailboat owner. I really enjoy your videos and some of your precious finds have inspired me to take the plunge and just do it.
Splendid. This is close to sailing home for me. When I was around 15 years old, my Dad bought a 1963 Allied Seabreeze 35 sloop. What a solid boat. Beautiful, extremely well built, and a joy to sail. I did not know that the first fiberglass sailboat going all the way around the world was an Allied built boat. I believe it. I will attest to their strength! As always, very well done. Thanks !
@@YachtHunters You're probably right - misunderstood by the masses but not seasoned sailors. When I bought "the beast", practically every day for a month someone in the boat yard where it was stored would come up and comment on it while I was getting it ready to sail to my home port. The typical comment was - "you must be an old salt who knows sailboats to pick this one"... and "we were looking for a Seawind II but ended up settling for a..." - Bristol, Cape Dory, Pearson...etc. People who know sailboats know how well these old Allieds were designed and built. I constantly get compliments on her that remind me of a phrase I heard from you - "Belle of the ball"
I've been looking at cruising sailboats, and I'm surprised to see this one listed on YachtWorld (and similar boats) as only having a 30-60-gallon fresh water tank, where a lot of the boats I've been looking at have 150-200 gallons in multiple tanks. If you assume a gallon per person per day, that really limits your long-distance options, especially without a water-maker, but my estimates are mostly theoretical. Have the small fresh water tanks been a limiter for you folks who've sailed on these? I'd think it'd be hard to circumnavigate if you can only spend up to a week on a passage, though clearly not impossible.
great review!!! and your recounting those memorable sails, yarmouth , nova scotia to SWH yessuh, what cruising is all about, make those slogs to windward under grey cold skies worth it!
I own Seawind II ketch hull #98, absolutely love it. There are some cutter varieties, and even sloops. Sails like a boat much larger than 32 feet. Avid owners group that is very active as a 'second generation' is buying these boats from original owners. It's great to see them enjoying more cruising life. Captain Q's review and knowledge of the vessel is spot on! Thanks!
Thank you, Jamie, we're working on a PB background but might take us awhile as we'd really like to get aboard her and she's about 7,000mi away at the moment.... but we have a plan to do it! Sea dog is here to fill a very big void in the heart left by a wonderful dog lost too soon.... and she seems to beat us to every boat yard we scour... she has a nose for the classics :)
hello David, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
I wish I could ride around in your pocket to look at all of these boats in person :) Ive been hashing budgets, wants vs needs and upkeep costs ...hopefully ill have my own sailboat soon
Being retired, I would fly to the east coast and sail it home to the coast here in Oregon. Now just have to convince the wife to go with me (and write the check).
Been waiting all week for the captain to educate me on another great boat. I hope to buy a Captain Q pick as my 1st sailboat. Thanks for making a firefighter smarter.
I absolutely love the idea of a soft RFD (weather proof maintenance requirements reduced etc) , but having said that you must be able to access it at will during a critical situation!
Owned one of these a number of years back, kept it on a slip year round in Chelsea, MA. Had hoped to single-hand her across the Atlantic but life got in the way. She (Relief) is missed.
Great find and review thank you for sharing and all you do and thank you randy for being there for Capt.Q, this channel wouldn’t be the same if it were any other two …
Oh my...I owned Allied Luders 33 Hull #47 for 10 years and lived aboard. What an absolutely sweet little tank. Someone's going to get champagne for a beer price
The captain talking about his sailing experience has turned me into someone who is definitely going to start his education in sailing which will lead to me buying a boat
10:35 .. If I'm not mistaken, the *hook* is to keep the hawse pipe cover from freeing itself from the hawse pipe by weight of the hanging chain. That's what I always thought on my boat, can't lose the chain, it's secured to the anchor ? Best to have some dyneema to secure it was well, just in case it does dislodge itself free in rough seas. DON'T WANNA LOSE THAT COVER, EVEN BETTER TO HAVE A SPARE IF NOT PROPERLY SECURED .... 👍🤜🤛👌⛵
Agreed Some folks disconnect the chain offshore and move the anchor off the now for better weight distribution The hook eill holdcthe chss as in , snd save the cap. Should have a small line unrelated to the anchor to dance the cap All good Thsnks for your clarity
Nice boat. Love the hull design. Your videos have renewed by interest in sailing (and working on the boats). I have missed my 31' Irwin Citation that I sold when I moved from Florida to Oklahoma several years ago. But, back in Florida again and ready to sail.
hello Steve, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
Just a suggestion, but when Cap Q and Randay go through a boat, it would be nice if they could comment on the sail inventory and the age and condition of the sails not to mention the mast(s) and spahs . Great job on the hull, deck, engine and interior, but in the end, the driving part of the vessel is quite important as well.
Agreed.... it seems like a good number of these boats have the sails stored with the owner and not on the boat so we often don't get access to them. When we get to speak to the owner directly, that's definitely something we try to learn more about (and share).... great point. thanks!
I'm watching more and more of your videos. And believe it or not, am learning so much from you guys its nuts! Love all the terminology and definitions! Also, I'm falling for small ketch boats. Can you guys keep finding these small twin masted speedsters!
As owner of 1979 ASW II cutter #114, these are indeed hidden jewels. 15k lbs isn't light for a 32' boat, but the ride like Cadillacs in a stiff breeze. Mollymawk was factory finished to high standards, and I've made so additional improvements. Another year, or two, and I'll be slipping the lines for good! 😎⛵🌅🏖️
So here we are again. Kudo's to you for the link to the broker. I guess (here and now), 12/04/22, this boat is still for sale. Somehow some of your older vids are "popping up." Oh geeze, I'm a little closer to trying to contact a friend who is "out there" with his (oh so very big sloop) who is completely boat focused. This boat. And so yea ~ night sailing. My friend Bill owned and moored a "Columbia 28" in the Piscataqua in New Castle and all he ever did with the boat was read the Sunday paper and drink coffee on board. I would just call and say that I'd be taking it "round the Isles (of Shoals)" and "be gone" ~ often solo, but I must admit I started my marriage on that boat. (He actually put my name on the insurance.) Anyway ~ dredging memories and thinking of how to make dreams real. Here it is. ~~ ❤ ~~ Here we are again. Thanks again to you both for all that you do!
Very nice! With Wolfeboro, NH as the hailing port noted on the stern I wonder if she's only seen the freshwater of Lake Winnipesaukee in her time because those decks and plexi covering the instruments are super-clean!
G'day Captain and Ran-day ,you guy`s have done it again, found another little gem of a boat. Another affordable cruising boat in great condition and a very fair price, wouldn't cost to much to spruce her up either. Bobstay looks like it could use taking off some fresh epoxy resin and re drilled fix those leaking issues But hey a Cheap ticket around the world deal for some lucky sea dog. Love you guys
Great looking boat, love the full keel hull and layout. She’s almost identical to my Cheoy Lee Offshore 33. Even how you describe her sailing characteristics is very similar.
I might be moving to Australia soon and was quoted $22,000 to have my two dogs shipped down there. Apparently Australia doesn't like folks bringing animals into the country. For the price of this boat I could sail the dogs there, and have a boat when I get there. Is it worth risking an international livestock smuggling incident?!
You can't easily bring your dogs into AUS even if you're a traveling citizen returning home. Sailing Nanji has a dog. Was in lockdown in Malaysia having a baby... in order to go back to AUS, the best solution is to ship the dog to NZ and be boarded, then transfered to AUS. If you can find a boarding resource in NZ, that will be your best option. When they get to AUS, the dog will be there already.
The only problem with dogs in Australia is they are trying to reduce their Dingo population and they blame it on cross breading domestic dog from foreigners coming to their country in 1966? They kind of had a law
Wow! That just brought back a lot of memories! Fantastic boat- Mark got very nostalgic watching too… definitely highly recommend the Allied to anyone looking for a smooth and solid ride!
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks to my biggest fan Hampton, who can make any boat sparkle , who , along with her mountaineering husband Mark, were patient enough to put up with a know it all Pop for a number of great fun sails .. These are surprisingly great boats love to you you guys
Capitán Que, y Randy... excelentes videos, divertidos, muy educativos , descubrir barcos de la mano de alguien tan experimentado, es una gran experiencia.. muchas gracias!
Another great video! Thanks for doing all these reviews, I've been interested in sailing for awhile and your videos have really helped me get a better handle on all the terminology.
hello Bill, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
We periodically put a bag of ice cubes in our holding tank with low water level. Then the motion of the boat adgitatates the ice and water cleaning the interior of the tank appears to help keep the tank cleaner and smell is much less.
Fully enjoyed this boat! Wish it was mine. I'm headed to Maine for a fast visit in September, maybe it will still be there. Thank you for showing this boat! I'm going to watch it again to find out where it is.
The Seawind Mk II is a totally different and better boat. The original Seawind was narrower and weighed about 4000 lbs less. It also had problems with the hull/deck joint leaking like a lot of average sailboats do. Allied gathered a great deal of input from owners of the original Seawind - asking them how they would improve it. That's how the Seawind Mk. II came about. The hull/deck joint of the Mk II is built like no other. Just an incredible boat in so many respects. You really appreciate how different the Mk II's are when you bash away against 5-6 foot chop - she just plows her way through.
@@cjg6364 The hull/deck joint on the early mkII leaked as well. It wasn't until near the end of the production run that they started putting the teak batten between the deck and hull flange. That fix gave the screws holding on the rubrail something to bite into instead of going into the hull here and there. I fixed mine by filling the joint on the inside with epoxy and glassing over it. Allied overbuilt their boats, but fit and finish wasn't their thing. I loved my Seawind, but there were many things I had to redo, or reengineer during the 5 years I owned her.
Few more years Last one can leave the nest so to say. Love My Wife I hope she will come if not ,will see her in a few year after I have seen this all the places I want to see on this Great Beautiful Blue Ball
Really a good live aboard, the popularity of live aboard are catching on, get a passport, & if things are not working out in this country, you have a choice. My brother lives in Cambodia, he new what was coming. But you have options, let's say.
I often think about what it would be like to go 24 hours without somebody trying to sell me something. I can remember when that happened a lot but, today in the US I'll bet most people see or hear hundreds of ads in a day. I think being milked as a consumer takes a toll. Living aboard a cheap to keep, easy to sail and maintain sailboat sure sounds like a better option.
I liked the block island or the bristle but this one was on my list also but for my money it would be the S2 I sailed and raced on one in 1994 and it’s more my price range but if I was to upgrade any of the above for shure
Did you say shower? That is a nice use of space, and a sink too. Full keel and a mizen. I've been told is a very nice sail arrangement that can balance the loads pretty nicely. I always wanted to try that arrangement. I've read descriptions that the boat felt like it was dancing in the waves. You skipped pass the galley....
@@YachtHunters i like to be out on the water but I don't want 5 gallons of cold sea water douching me ever 7 seconds like a CIA agent water boarding a 911 acomplis.
Yes I found a number 2 brown trout in my head one time after taking some of my wife's friends sailing..... If you don't know how to use the head please ask for help.
I've found that the water you bring in to flush will get to smelling bad so I keep a jug of fresh water in head to flush keeps smell way down and I love this boat i live on my oday 28 but I want something built a lil more built for offshore
I have a few comments. 1) This is a lovely boat. I really like the lines on this one. 2) We need an answer to last week's brain-teaser about the pullout drawer! 3) In part because of your RUclips channel, I bought a sailboat! It's a 1985 Island Packet 27. What are your thoughts? It's kind of similar to this sailboat.
1. agreed... she's a gem. 2. you are quite correct... it's overdue! and 3. big congratulations from both of us. IPs are outstanding and you can really go anywhere you want with you... whether it's around the harbor or around the world! We're reading James Baldwin's books at the moment about going around the world in a Pearson Triton (28')... highly recommended series and perfect for you on your 27-footer.... really inspirational stuff. cheers Kyle!
“Sometimes you get these extraordinary moments of sailing, when everything turns white.”
There is simply nothing quite like sailing by moonlight on one of those special nights. You gave me the goose bumps, Captain Q.
aint it so
That's a boat that you possibly wouldn't look twice at, amongst many others in a marina. But, in terms of the value you get for the asking price, it has to be right up there with the best of them. Why spend a six figure sum on a Beneteau or similar, when there are gems like this to be snapped up. Thanks again, for such an expert and thorough tour of the boat.
agreed
If you can afford the six figure teak job, please, leave these glass tanks for us budget skippers!
A true sailor knows the Allied boats well, I would pick that one out in a New York minute in a marina filled with broad beamed, flat transomed, plumb stemmed, no shear Beneteau Clorox bottles.
This is a boat that a broke sailor like me can get around the world

That will make someone a nice little cruiser. I like it, it certainly deserves its place in history.
Nice boat Capt'n... It must be unsettling to tour a boat, open the commode and find someone left behind a blur!!! (thanks for taking one for the team)
there was a prize waiting onboard. too much Dinty

Wow! If it Wasn’t for the fact that I live in Belgium, I’d go buy this boat today as my first sailboat. I’d definitely change the plumbing and add a radar/gps if it’s not equipped with those, fix the deep sounder and sail it down to the Caribbean.

Captain Q, you are a treasure. Thank you for sharing the wealth of you experience with us.
As a Seawind Mk. II owner, all I can say is Capt. Q has really good taste... : )
One of those boats that is easily mis understood. Until you take the time to trim it out with a proper suit of sails 👍

great point....is there any info of the status of the current sails? apologies if I missed it
As a fellow Seawind MKII owner I really appreciate this video.

great to hear... we've got a lot more in store. thanks for watching
Hi
Another real nice find, you continue to educate and entertain us every week. Thanks Captain and Randay for sharing this video ⛵️⛵️😊
glad to have you aboard as always, Kathleen!! :D
Im so happy to see the champagne and Dinty Moore are BACK!!!
What gem!!!
hello Bill, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
THANK YOU GUYS!!!
We periodically put a bag of ice cubes in our holding tank with low water level. Then the motion of the boat adgitatates the ice and water cleaning the interior of the tank appears to help keep the tank cleaner and smell is much less.
great tip!!
I love these videos. Keep up the great work gentlemen!
Fully enjoyed this boat! Wish it was mine. I'm headed to Maine for a fast visit in September, maybe it will still be there. Thank you for showing this boat! I'm going to watch it again to find out where it is.
Fingers crossed!
Nice boat. Thanks for posting.
WOW! Sailing Project Atticus I is the predecessor to that boat and they only paid $5,000 for theirs! It may SOON be up for sale!!!
With a rotted out bulk head
The Seawind Mk II is a totally different and better boat. The original Seawind was narrower and weighed about 4000 lbs less. It also had problems with the hull/deck joint leaking like a lot of average sailboats do. Allied gathered a great deal of input from owners of the original Seawind - asking them how they would improve it. That's how the Seawind Mk. II came about. The hull/deck joint of the Mk II is built like no other. Just an incredible boat in so many respects. You really appreciate how different the Mk II's are when you bash away against 5-6 foot chop - she just plows her way through.
Spot on
I believe that you spelled SCRAP wrong. Either that, or your spell check changed it to sale.
@@cjg6364 The hull/deck joint on the early mkII leaked as well. It wasn't until near the end of the production run that they started putting the teak batten between the deck and hull flange. That fix gave the screws holding on the rubrail something to bite into instead of going into the hull here and there. I fixed mine by filling the joint on the inside with epoxy and glassing over it. Allied overbuilt their boats, but fit and finish wasn't their thing. I loved my Seawind, but there were many things I had to redo, or reengineer during the 5 years I owned her.
Captain Q it's good to see your exelent presentations with such a likable spirit.
Keep Up the God work 👍
Thank you kindly
As usual captain your simply the best .!
Few more years Last one can leave the nest so to say. Love My Wife I hope she will come if not ,will see her in a few year after I have seen this all the places I want to see on this Great Beautiful Blue Ball
Captain Q dropping bombs
Randy's jazz pieces are too good. But where is his boat? The plot thickens. I'd love to see what work has to be done from purchase to sailing.
it's Ran Day
So other than the head plumbing, and the Bob stay. It's a sweet boat
Just found your channel. What an awesome channel 👌. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing... much appreciated!!
Congratulations ! Good quality boat
I was looking at an allied seawind II and everything you say is so, they are great ocean boats. I ended up buying a Skookum instead, both great boats!
happy sailing to you regardless
Amazing condition for its age nice buy that boat would be
So cool!
WOW Im drooling!!!
Really a good live aboard, the popularity of live aboard are catching on, get a passport, & if things are not working out in this country, you have a choice. My brother lives in Cambodia, he new what was coming. But you have options, let's say.
I often think about what it would be like to go 24 hours without somebody trying to sell me something. I can remember when that happened a lot but, today in the US I'll bet most people see or hear hundreds of ads in a day. I think being milked as a consumer takes a toll. Living aboard a cheap to keep, easy to sail and maintain sailboat sure sounds like a better option.
My 2 children and their mother are Cambodian
@@jerrym3261
I see your point Jerry
Really nice boat wish I was 50 again. nothing like a long keel... I'd figure out a way to stop that front leak though.
Let us know when you are coming to Halifax next!
will do.... it won't be soon enough.... it's one of our favorite routes from Maine
I really enjoy your videos a lot 👏🏻
Glad you like them!
I liked the block island or the bristle but this one was on my list also but for my money it would be the S2 I sailed and raced on one in 1994 and it’s more my price range but if I was to upgrade any of the above for shure
seems like a great buy for a well-maintained boat and easily entered into your local beer can race
Perhaps the mud goblin left in the head is what was giving off a certain je ne sais quoi. Essance' I believe you called it. lol
I’m writing WGBH out of Boston, they have to pick this guy up for a regular series.
You too kind, Kenneth, thank you!
Great story of your sailing with you son-in-law.
Glad you enjoyed it
I’d swear that the picture of Apogee is of her exiting Durban harbor with the Bluff in the background … 🤔
Great show!
Did you say shower? That is a nice use of space, and a sink too.
Full keel and a mizen. I've been told is a very nice sail arrangement that can balance the loads pretty nicely. I always wanted to try that arrangement. I've read descriptions that the boat felt like it was dancing in the waves.
You skipped pass the galley....
it's in there... just a brief pass-through to check if they have the proper provisions ;)
GREAT SHOW SIR
Excellent stuff bro
Awww!!! Love it! If it were on the Texas coast I’d be living on it next week ‼️
real cheap to truck it there ...split cost with seller maybe ???
@@YachtHunters Captain you are a delightfully bad influence sir😂
Thank you for sharing. Looking for a solid cruiser, do you feel she is seaworthy enough to sale around Cape Horn? or through the Drake passage?
What hull number is this boat? I owned hull #12 for a few years. Wonderful boat. Much better looking than the Clorox bottles they make today.
dont have it off hand sorry
Hull #87
I kinda liked it. How about a pilot house yawl someday. You did one but it was huge.
she was enormous! we'll keep our eyes peeled. we found one the other day but couldn't get on it before she sold
@@YachtHunters i like to be out on the water but I don't want 5 gallons of cold sea water douching me ever 7 seconds like a CIA agent water boarding a 911 acomplis.
Love it thank you both!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes I found a number 2 brown trout in my head one time after taking some of my wife's friends sailing..... If you don't know how to use the head please ask for help.
I think I used to own the Stars and stripe blue C&C 30 in the background! Where is this located?
Southern Maine
I've found that the water you bring in to flush will get to smelling bad so I keep a jug of fresh water in head to flush keeps smell way down and I love this boat i live on my oday 28 but I want something built a lil more built for offshore
There was a shower head right beside this head snd on the boat I sailed and I just used that to flush. Helped a lot
I have a few comments.
1) This is a lovely boat. I really like the lines on this one.
2) We need an answer to last week's brain-teaser about the pullout drawer!
3) In part because of your RUclips channel, I bought a sailboat! It's a 1985 Island Packet 27. What are your thoughts? It's kind of similar to this sailboat.
1. agreed... she's a gem. 2. you are quite correct... it's overdue! and 3. big congratulations from both of us. IPs are outstanding and you can really go anywhere you want with you... whether it's around the harbor or around the world! We're reading James Baldwin's books at the moment about going around the world in a Pearson Triton (28')... highly recommended series and perfect for you on your 27-footer.... really inspirational stuff. cheers Kyle!
How would you feel about this being a first boat? This boat is actually still for sale.
I'm interested in this boat
give the broker a call -- www.grayandgrayyachts.com/ if you're interested... Annie Gray knows her classic sailboats well
sold
Could you replace the hoses with pvc to prevent the osmosis?
another builder possibly PAC SEA does that
good call
I did on mine, but you still need some short bits of hose between the PVC and you tanks and head to absorb vibration.
Wolfeboro is the town next to mine
I would love spænding time With this CAPTIAN
