    Hi James,
    I've been following you for a while and I see that it is not easy at all maneuvering a boat let alone a dighhy. Thank you very much for you hard work and keep sailing. LOVE

    Very beautiful. With each episode inside this bay, it becomes a bit clearer how impressive the mountain range behind you must be. It really must be something to see it in person and especially when anchored in a spot like this one here. You really are living the dream. I'm sure there might be lonely moments but that seems a small price to pay for such freedom, beauty and adventure.

    • @SailorJames
      @SailorJames  2 года назад +1

      I bought my boat for $2400 and refit it over 4 years (rough estimate $35k) but I did a lot of expensive upgrades because I plan on sailing in some extreme places. Maintaining costs are minimal after a refit as so many parts are brand new and will last for years.

    Have you ever heard of boats being extended? Mines only 26 feet with a fast hull, I had considered extending the rear 2-3 feet. I would like a larger boat but a 26 foot costs less. Add buoyancy at the waterline. A 28 to 29 foot would be big enough. Even considered adding my diesel turbo from my car!

    • @SailorJames
      @SailorJames  2 года назад

      If you plan on doing ocean sailing I would say this is not feasible, the modified structure of the boat would likely break up in rough seas and sunk in quick order and if you were able to strengthen it enough the costs of strengthening it would likely be more than the cost of a larger boat, not to mention the design aspects of making it a balanced boat. The lines of a hull are specific to its size as is the shape below the waterline and ballast weight
