Wonderful Show. It is easier to dream of this boat than to purchase her. The range of vessels you both show is important to frame the final selection. Thank you again
Thanks again for another great boat. Thanks to you I rejoined a sailing club. Cat 27, Cat 26, Newport 24 and Victory sloops. I helped with maintenance yesterday and had lunch with some of the guys. I then went on a 3 hour sail to show my sailing skills. They let me join and I now can take a Victory out whenever I want. Thanks again for doing these videos and reminding me that I just needed to get back on the water again. You really make sailing sound fun (which it is).
Grampian 26 all the way- keel and rudder are a dead give away. Too bad I don’t think I was first to say that though. Great boat for someone learning to sail.
You almost lost me until you mentioned the Heat and AC. The only thing I question is the reverse Nav station, I like a forward facing Nav station but I could buckle down and change if push came to shove. Wonderful Yacht but I would quibble over the price to get a better deal. Very nice cruiser!
Before watching your videos, I was leery of old boats from manufacturers I hadn't hear of. Now it seems there are a ton of great older boats to have. But are there any stinkers out there? Any boats to avoid?
A beautiful, beautiful boat but for $280000 US, a full out of the weather helm in my mind is essential , to pay that sort of money and have cold water running down my neck not much fun
Aren't the ones that open "portholes" and the ones that don't "portlights?" That was my understanding. But I could be wrong. Not like that's ever happened, but I suppose I _could_ be... Whoever buys this boat will have demonstrated that he or she has more going for him or her than just a bank account. It seems to be a very fine piece, well-constructed, well laid-out, sturdy and seamanlike and well-adapted to the task of blue-water cruising while still being of shallow enough draft to be useful in a large number of anchorages. Apparently this Walter Schultz guy had a handle on these things.
26:30-“...that’s a pretty nice mirror.”(Capt admiring the reflection, LOL!) You two make me laugh with EVERY episode! Please, never stop!! Love these ‘classic’ boats.
Never thought it would happen at my age, but..... I'm in love ! No not you Capt. Q or you Randy !.... This beautiful organized and safety-minded boat. I have a new goal, find a boat like this that can be sailed single or short-handed or one to build on !
Great boat!!! I bought the book you recommended, Wolds Best Boats" and used it to search for all those makes and models. I found the boat you reviewed through that search! Great to see you Gents bring the character of the boat to life. When the damn covid thing stops - I'd like to head to the US, grab a boat like that Shannon and sail home to Sydney. Keen to know if you know anything about converting a US boat from 110v to 240v - can you just update the inverter? Also - keen to see if you Gents could review a Hallberg Rassy. I like the simple Swedish designs I think...
I love your channel just discovered it and binge watched all the episodes. What I do miss is some more tips or tricks to detect faults like on what cracks to watch out how to spot hidden problems. I’m looking to buy a boat. Love how you quiz the co host and us like this. Really again love the channel and hard work
I don’t think I have ever seen Capt Q so excited!!! She is gorgeous. Captain and Randy - question - with a boat like this, and for those of us who have land lives as well as our sailing love, what sort of sailing would you do with this boat? (By the way.. ‘`Randy you can keep Firefly..” 🤔)
There is lake, sea, and rivet sailing, coastal land dwellers may have Ocean, sea, fiord, inlet sailing, and time and resources permitting, blue water Ocean sailing including Great Circle. For S and East Coast, shallower draft and center-board vessels for the Caribbean (oh, also for Micronesia and Indonesia. There are many millions of willing wanting or actual sailors around the world.
Sorry Cap, This is the 2nd boat you reviewed that was IMO (and from some comments) out of the price range of a large portion of your viewers. Due to this point I almost didn't even view this video and I have been with you since the beginning and often one of the first to comment. Consider your viewers (and yes your membership is growing) some are crazy for sailing, really got the bug, this boat is doable but it's a stretch. Now consider what a newbie may not, maintenance and slip cost. Like so many buying too much house or a old vic, yes. Ok having said that. IMO the layout for a boat this size could have been setup more conservative adding a cabin instead of two 1/2 heads. Was it really equipped for long haul cruising? Where was the water maker, the solar panels, a wind turbine, the battery bank (lithium?), where was the dinghy strap down for open water, how old were the sails, how many sails, how much fuel and water? No composting heads. Etc. Yeah I know a survey is always mandatory but to show what appears to be a dream boat (almost your words) at a price point of nearly 300k is IMO a bridge to far unless you are going to move your past practice price range up. I like to seeing nice boats that are affordable to the working guy retiring or with some disposable income (I actually looked at the Calypso before you reviewed it), but beyond 150k is a tease. All this written, I still am a fan. IMO Respectfully Fair winds and smooth sailing, yes.
When I was very very young and living in nyc I would go with my parents for a walk on fifth ave and back then there was a ss kresge 5&10 with a mile long lunch counter where you would wait for the best milk shake for a dollar (maybe less) with sweet tooth satisfied we would continue up the Avenue and eventually pass by Tiffany’s.

Awesome reply! I can see this point and understand the intent. I am old school (not as much as you🙂) and old is work hard to get what you really want to have or do. Today, I am sure you are aware of how loo$e lending is today and some that are almost there can now buy into what they can not actually afford (at least not today), yes. This awesome boat is very doable for someone with a realistic budget of 150k to maybe heavy finance to a negotiation price of 250k with nothing for maintenance and dockage. Your membership has grown (and because you are really a find) will continue to grow. You are in affect selling boats and doing a awesome job. I actually think that people may be buying boats you review without a survey, frankly. And I think the owners of boats you review are in a much more solid position than without your review. If you on the other hand were to review something completely out of reach for many/most of your membership such as 500k+, now that would be very interesting to see on the level of your experience with Tiffany, yes. The ultimate motivation. But not at a price point close enough for someone dreaming to get in trouble and maybe a divorce. You know how strong the call of the sea is, yes. I am from Brooklyn with a father that loved his old cabin cruiser and I worked had on the wood and brass. Always wanted something bigger. As a teenager mother married again and my step father was a sailor. What a change of mind and the way I experienced the sea. We built a schooner (Herreshoff) rigged it traditional gaff. Sailed the NW. No racing, no matter how much sail no racing, ha. No motoring at sea. No electronics. Two Years Before The Mast. Great way to finish up my teen years. Than a little time in the USCG. Been land locked for many years and very much enjoy your show Cap and Randy's role in this thing of yours really sets it up. Great job. I think it would be very interesting to talk story with you over a cup of tea in the cockpit nicely under sail. Sorry I got into it but it is who I am 🤷🏻♂️ Looking forward to your next one. Look forward to next week.
Fantastic episode of a Yacht I truly covet- I would love to be so lucky to own a Shannon. Thank you for the great review. I learned tons! And my best guess for the mystery boat at the beginning of the episode is an Irwin Citation (which I now realize is pretty wrong... but close?) lol . :). Stephen Black
Captain o captain...another ketch?...Anyways...at 25:43 min you missed one of the most unusual items - one that at least this German Sailor has never seen on any boat that size - which is an Air conditioning system driven by the engine! How "cool" is that?? So while you enter the harbor under engine power, you can cool down your cabin air from the heat of the sun already and make it comfortable to sleep. A very nice feature me thinks. PS: You didn´t really missed it, but it wasn´t mentioned when it was right in front of you. What a lovely boat... Cheers from Germany Tobias
Good eyes Steve. That engine driven AC at 24:43 is a nice feature. This boat was set up for comfort. What do you think the item on the counter top at 27:17 is? It looks like some interior trim pieces sitting on top of a white board. Does it have to do with the hole or open area on the floor next to the toilet?
That's actually for the freezer. While the refrigerator runs on a 12v system, the freezer was run off of an engine controlled compressor. It's actually a very good and efficient system. Here's a little better info on how it works. www.seafrost.com/Engine%20Drive.html
@@timhardman4764 Hi Tim, I-as a Project Manager for A/C´s , working for a Swedish Group- have just learned a thing or two (thanks "tiny b") about that system being for the fridge. Anyways...the trim piece could be a broken toilet seat and the white lid , looks like a frame for a mast.
Especially like the aft-stateroom with attached super head. Self tacking staysail for me is worth 10 points by itself-I have few friends! Centreboard is a big plus, wish she had less draft. The gas locker in that position under the “captain” should in future be labelled in CaptainQ terminology - should be christened “The James Bond or 007 seat(as in ejection!)”! While this luxury boat(and many others of the same ilk) has so much perfection on board, it is a cause of some concern to me with 😮my rusting joints that more thought is not given to boarding either from a dingy or climbing back on board after a swim, intentional or not! Why not stern steps with hand-rails, now that could be a real winner for Walt! SkipRay, Kerry(The Kingdom), The Emerald Isle.
Another one of your "Sold within Seconds" tours. Why Why Why would anybody want to part with this jewel? Did I just say "Jewel"? OOPS ~ definitely hanging around with Captain Q too much ! ~~~. I'll tell ya.
I love solid railings on the side of a boat, why are they not more common than wire guard rails? Is it something to with windage or perhaps complications for sail handling or that wire rails are less visable? Solid rails are just so much safer and confidence inspiring! Would like to see CaptainQ commenting on this matter on a review? Thank you Q and Randay.
In a modern age it’s too much money when you can find 1000’s of equally capable boats at less than half the price. Over engineered I think if it has that price tag. You can get a new 10 meter plus race/cruiser for that money with far more leg room and just as much blue water cred.
Thank you for showing this super sailing ketch. This would be the one I would use for sailing in the sunset. But like you Kaptn Q. Age is the hindering factor. Thanks again! Great video!
Oh Wow ! Super Super Beaut Sailboat. But Having just checked my Lotto Ticket, am unhappy to say I didn't win..Bugga. But thanks guys for teasing me with another sweet vessel....Cheers
Please forgive a beginners question....(I'm a day sailer, just now starting to dream of becoming more)... When you refer to a navigation area, what all can you observe and control there? What can you monitor there, and can you actually steer or guide the boat from there? Thanks!!
When we refer to a navigation area we’re thinking in terms of usually a small corner of the interior of the boat with a desk and directly adjacent to that desk all the circuit breakers and electronics required to navigate and communicate. Today more and more people are putting GPS and radar systems up on the helmsman‘s Binnacle protector. Although that has some convenience especially for just casual daysailer‘s I think it will be difficult to properly navigate through heavy weather breaking seas rain fog snow etc. My preference is to have all your major screens for radar and GPS in the quiet of the navigation area where it’s dry and you can chart on paper charts your course and direction and your current position. You do need a table or flat space on smaller boats the galley table will suffice very well. But it’s nice to have the luxury of your own little office so to speak to quietly navigate the boat. Often you can have a repeater for your auto pilot so if you’re offshore and not an immediate presence of other shipping you can make adjustments to your course right from the NAV station. I believe the helmsman or deck watch should have their concentration on the horizon and the instruments relating to wind direction and wind speed. You devise a course in and give that to the helmsman to focus on. Personally I also please do you prefer a minimum of light in the cockpit at night. And a lot of the helm mounted instrumentation can be very bright and blinding.
You guys have the best boat channel on RUclips. I look forward to every episode.
Thanks for the hard work and sharing your passion.
So true great boats, humour very educational
Wonderful Show. It is easier to dream of this boat than to purchase her. The range of vessels you both show is important to frame the final selection. Thank you again
The identity of that vessel!!? That is easy! It's a sailboat!!! Do I win?
I know what it is ...
a sailboat
it is the best I can come up with...
so sorry ... lol
That’s the spirit
Valiant 37
i could hear by the excitement in the good captain's voice that he was a big fan of that boat.
thnx for another dandy episode guys.
If only I was younger and had more money. I will dream sweet dreams tonight. Thanks for finding this beauty.
I feel conflicted. It looks nice, but it looks like it’s never been used. Did someone buy a boat just to look at it?
I can see why Q chuckled at that line cutter... Can't see how it would work being mounted so close to the hull like that.
Thanks again for another great boat. Thanks to you I rejoined a sailing club. Cat 27, Cat 26, Newport 24 and Victory sloops. I helped with maintenance yesterday and had lunch with some of the guys.

I’m sure any seller will quibble with any quibbling buyer. Happy quibbling
Excellent job men! That was so much fun to see! It was worth the wait!!
I would have scored this boat a 27. The extra point for having that beautiful black gel coat ! 😍
Amen! Beautiful!
You educate a novice such as myself in a way of life I know I will love the more I get into it. Thank you Captain Q!
Every Shannon I have seen only makes me want one more. So we'll built that decades later, still as new. Great yachts.
Before watching your videos, I was leery of old boats from manufacturers I hadn't hear of. Now it seems there are a ton of great older boats to have. But are there any stinkers out there? Any boats to avoid?
Is the mystery boat a Grampian 26? I hope so because I'd love to hear a review of what is a very inexpensive small cruiser.
I think you have it T.A.!
Nailed it!
The boat featured today is absolutely amazing! Thank you Captain Q and Ran-Day!
A beautiful, beautiful boat but for $280000 US, a full out of the weather helm in my mind is essential , to pay that sort of money and have cold water running down my neck not much fun

Beautiful boat! Not cheap though!
Nice sailboat....but I like the little boat called Trooper in the back ground at the end.
Grampian 26! The keel had me Ericson, but the notch in the rudder gave it away ultimately.
I think you're right!
1:30, 2:05 upper left.. nice camera rig... nice gel coat.. great video.......Appreciate all the work! Miss your chapter menu..
What a beautiful boat I did notice when you were doing you're Rating if you look behind you there was a maybe Sister in black moored without Sticks up
Gorgeous vessel but that’s a bit out of my price range. I wish I had it.
26:30-“...that’s a pretty nice mirror.”(Capt admiring the reflection, LOL!)
You two make me laugh with EVERY episode! Please, never stop!! Love these ‘classic’ boats.
Shawshank Redemption actor Morgan Freeman used to own a Shannon 43.
“It’s wicked smooth”
Now I can rest peacefully.
I appreciate your channel so very much! An escape for an old and retired Navy man; the love of sea and sailing...ageless.
Never thought it would happen at my age, but..... I'm in love ! No not you Capt. Q or you Randy !.... This beautiful organized and safety-minded boat. I have a new goal, find a boat like this that can be sailed single or short-handed or one to build on !
"I will find a way, or I will make one!" Love your attitude, all power to you!
You fellas are wonderful ! watch all the time !
Beautiful yacht. Really love the Shannon’s so well laid out for the crew. Thanks for another great review.
For the mystery boat at the beginning, I believe that it might be a Grampian 30
Great boat!!! I bought the book you recommended, Wolds Best Boats" and used it to search for all those makes and models. I found the boat you reviewed through that search! Great to see you Gents bring the character of the boat to life.
When the damn covid thing stops - I'd like to head to the US, grab a boat like that Shannon and sail home to Sydney.
Keen to know if you know anything about converting a US boat from 110v to 240v - can you just update the inverter?
Also - keen to see if you Gents could review a Hallberg Rassy. I like the simple Swedish designs I think...
You're going to have to upgrade from the DM and Frixinet for this one. No expense spared on this gem.
What is on the counter to the left of the sink in the second head?
Lovely boat, but the cabins seem a little small for one of this size.
Thanks again for another excellent boat and more excellent video. Love your channel!
Nice guys good job! Interesting boat I would take it but I only buy boats in two’s
Time spent with Captain Q snd Randay is quality time and "Instagram is not a place" gets me everytime!!😅😂🤣
OK, so when can I move in? I wish. You two are a real hoot. Fair winds laddies.
I love your channel just discovered it and binge watched all the episodes. What I do miss is some more tips or tricks to detect faults like on what cracks to watch out how to spot hidden problems. I’m looking to buy a boat. Love how you quiz the co host and us like this. Really again love the channel and hard work
Shannon's are gorgeous and are built above most! Keep bringing the Shannon's!
you can tell Captain Q is very popular..... look at all those fans :P
Very very VERY nice boat.......thank you for sharing
pretty nice boat. just not worth 280k.
Would love to see you look at a Endeavour 43 cc
They made a beautiful boat , top stuff guy's 👏 👌 ❤ 👍
I don’t think I have ever seen Capt Q so excited!!! She is gorgeous. Captain and Randy - question - with a boat like this, and for those of us who have land lives as well as our sailing love, what sort of sailing would you do with this boat? (By the way.. ‘`Randy you can keep Firefly..” 🤔)
There is lake, sea, and rivet sailing, coastal land dwellers may have Ocean, sea, fiord, inlet sailing, and time and resources permitting, blue water Ocean sailing including Great Circle. For S and East Coast, shallower draft and center-board vessels for the Caribbean (oh, also for Micronesia and Indonesia.

That is a lot of boat but more money than most can think of putting towards one.
Good info as always from you both.
The Shannon is very nice. Out of my budget. My guess is Ericsson 29 under the wrap!
Fantastic episode of a Yacht I truly covet- I would love to be so lucky to own a Shannon. Thank you for the great review. I learned tons!

Top quality. This is how the the 1% sail .
Would you rather have this vessel or a Alden? I am looking at a 95 Alden 45, close in price.
She is a beauty! thanks for sharing with us!
Three words to describe this boat: Simplicity, Elegance, Craftsmanship

@@tinyb69 You are indeed correct good sir. Although it should be mentioned that the generator on board will power up the AC if/when needed.
@@timhardman4764
Looks like its trim for the keel stepped mast.
Are the electric winch buttons for 'in'' and 'out' or for one speed and the second button for the second speed?
Great episode!
You do such a great job touring these boats! Knowledgeable and charming. I love this boat, too. Thanks for the video!
Having never sailed a yawl I'm beginning to wonder what I've been missing
Cal 2-27 is my guess
The dingy motor davit could also be a means to haul a man overboard up and out of the water?
Use a halyard with the mob ring and line stored in the special pack but in a pinch use any thing at hand
Especially like the aft-stateroom with attached super head. Self tacking staysail for me is worth 10 points by itself-I have few friends! Centreboard is a big plus, wish she had less draft. The gas locker in that position under the “captain” should in future be labelled in CaptainQ terminology - should be christened “The James Bond or 007 seat(as in ejection!)”!

That mystery boat has a Pearson looking rudder, so that’s my guess!
Another one of your "Sold within Seconds" tours. Why Why Why would anybody want to part with this jewel? Did I just say "Jewel"? OOPS ~ definitely hanging around with Captain Q too much ! ~~~. I'll tell ya.
Could the first boat be a Cal 28?
What a beautiful boat.
You are definitely right about it being a 26.
I love solid railings on the side of a boat, why are they not more common than wire guard rails? Is it something to with windage or perhaps complications for sail handling or that wire rails are less visable? Solid rails are just so much safer and confidence inspiring! Would like to see CaptainQ commenting on this matter on a review? Thank you Q and Randay.
Yeah, anchor this in Dar Es Salam harbour, go to shore for paperwork, what's gonna happen to this Shannon 43? or, can you even find your tender? 🤣
Captain Q gives me hope for our future. He just seems like good people.
Again Gentlemen thank you 😊 I 🙏 🥰❤️🔥🤲👏😇🙌💖❤️🔥💦 you ❤️, Amen.
Come on now $200,000 for a darn sailboat man you can get something much cheaper than that and still cross the oceans must be nice to be rich
As usual great job, keep ‘em coming
Cherry! Not too often do you see an interior trimmed in cherry wood. That deserves another point. 27. Aloha 🤙
Beauty but l think a separate shower is necessary.At least in one of the heads.Just my opinion.Otherwise a very sweet boat
Will a black colored hull be hotter than a white colored hull while sailing in the tropics? What was the original sales price 22 years ago?
Captain Q, tell them to hesitate in neutral when going between forward and reverse or reverse and forward.
Great video! I want a Shannon bad! That one looks spectacular. 👍
This song is so good that it's one of the best songs i've ever heard.
Beautiful sailboat!!
Mystery boat is a Grampion 26' rudder is the give away
It have to cost north of $600k to build this today
Captain Q, could you lend a fellow sailor 300 K?
It's a mason 43 under that plastic. How's that?
I am sorry you retired. I want you to have a new show. 1:12
In a modern age it’s too much money when you can find 1000’s of equally capable boats at less than half the price. Over engineered I think if it has that price tag. You can get a new 10 meter plus race/cruiser for that money with far more leg room and just as much blue water cred.

Cool but it is about 270,000 over my budget.
I was surprised you didn't say don't buy this boat .
That’s one tight companionway with a mesan mast.
Oh Wow ! Super Super Beaut Sailboat. But Having just checked my Lotto Ticket, am unhappy to say I didn't win..Bugga.
But thanks guys for teasing me with another sweet vessel....Cheers
Please forgive a beginners question....(I'm a day sailer, just now starting to dream of becoming more)... When you refer to a navigation area, what all can you observe and control there? What can you monitor there, and can you actually steer or guide the boat from there? Thanks!!
When we refer to a navigation area we’re thinking in terms of usually a small corner of the interior of the boat with a desk and directly adjacent to that desk all the circuit breakers and electronics required to navigate and communicate. Today more and more people are putting GPS and radar systems up on the helmsman‘s Binnacle protector. Although that has some convenience especially for just casual daysailer‘s I think it will be difficult to properly navigate through heavy weather breaking seas rain fog snow etc. My preference is to have all your major screens for radar and GPS in the quiet of the navigation area where it’s dry and you can chart on paper charts your course and direction and your current position. You do need a table or flat space on smaller boats the galley table will suffice very well. But it’s nice to have the luxury of your own little office so to speak to quietly navigate the boat. Often you can have a repeater for your auto pilot so if you’re offshore and not an immediate presence of other shipping you can make adjustments to your course right from the NAV station. I believe the helmsman or deck watch should have their concentration on the horizon and the instruments relating to wind direction and wind speed. You devise a course in and give that to the helmsman to focus on. Personally I also please do you prefer a minimum of light in the cockpit at night. And a lot of the helm mounted instrumentation can be very bright and blinding.
The boat of s actually a great vaue. You get what you for
Ok question, other than redundancy in case your inboard motor fails, why would you also have an outboard motor to attach to the boat?
The outboard is for the dingy.
