Hi guys. Love your channel. I’ve been subscribed since the beginning. Especially your DIY stuff. Very informative. And your production value is off the charts. Keep up the great work. A question: what do you use for video editing software? Happy New Year!
Hi William, thank you very much indeed. We use a software called Movavi. It is cheap to buy but it works well for us! Happy New Year! Chris, Rossella & Emma 👍
Both are absolutely fantastic blue water boats, I've seen the listing of the Roberts spray, if I remember correctly shes also mid 30's price range in the South Pacific (south african boat I believe. The William Garden mariner ketch reminds me a lot of another famous Garden design, the Formosa 52 ketch, obviously smaller but veey similar in so many ways, I too love the traditional designs and as such designs by the likes of Crealock, Ives, Perry, Garden are all to my liking, I however went for another great designer EG Van De Stadt and am in the process of buying a 34' hard chine steel boat launched in 2013, fully cruise equipped with AIS transponder radar 2 autopilots EPIRB and life raft. I won't mention the price but it is a lot less than mid 30's Fair winds
Tracks beautifully. Doesn’t turn! You’re right. With autopilots and gps and not dead reckoning I don’t see the advantage of a full keel. It makes irrelevant the advantage of the full keel.
I’ve seen someone do that in my home town in England. There is a park with lots of park homes and in the middle of them someone has put a sailboat (with the mast still up) in amongst them to use it as a home on land. 👍
Lovely aren't they! Day tank advantages copied from Morgan's Cloud website: There are several advantages to this system: Finding an air leak in the fuel intake line to a diesel engine, which will quickly stop the engine, can be one of the most frustrating tasks known to humankind. That whole problem goes away with a day tank like this one since the fuel system is under slight pressure from gravity, making a leak both less likely-pressure tends to seal fittings and gaskets, vacuum has the opposite effect-and obvious if one does occur. Fuel plumbing is simplified since a boat like Polaris, with four separate diesel tanks and without a day tank, would need a feed and return (where required) line for each diesel burning device on the boat to each tank-a plumbing nightmare. On Morgan’s Cloud we have two tanks and three user devices, together with a fuel polish system, which results in a fuel valve system that looks as if it should require a nuclear plant operator’s license. Changing filters on the engine is easier since they will automatically fill by gravity and priming the engine will be easier too. (On Morgan’s Cloud we have a small electric fuel pump in the system that provides the same benefit without a day tank.) The day tank can be more easily cleaned, and water as well as sludge more easily drained from the bottom, than the main tanks. Since the fuel is filtered when being pumped from the main tanks to the day tank and then again as it goes out to the user devices, a polish system is not really required, particularly when you take into account point four above. It is much easier to measure and monitor the fuel consumption of each device using a day tank. For example, we filled in a log of the fuel used by the heater each day while caretaking Polaris. Cheers, Chris
Wow both beautiful yachts. I always have loved the Bruce Roberts design but my word how amazing is that interior! I think some owners choose to build a steel yacht because they know how but when it comes to fitting out the interior it seems a bit of a mystery. Certainly not the case here. Sorry I think I've had an issue with my patreon account and payment. I certainly haven't stopped it . Glad you doing more of these videos, I really enjoyed it.
Hi Mike! Heritage has a very luxurious interior (this is even more evident from the photos in the listing than from this video). Bruce Roberts designs are often steel but this one is GRP. Your Patreon details are all looking fine at our end! 🌟 Very best regards, Chris 🙂
We intended to cruise to the Med this year but something rather inconvenient came along, so now we are making different videos to help inspire people to look forward to something positive in life. (Which we hope will be a welcome distraction from the darkness we are all subjected to from the mainstream media). When I make a video I don't think "Will every one of our subscribers enjoy this?" as if I did I would never make any more videos ever again. The question I ask myself is "Will this video help someone out there?" If the answer is yes, and I am in a position to make a video, I make it. Videos I have made on RUclips have been watched over 10 million times. If just 5% of the people who watched them have found them helpful, that is half a million people that I have helped to date. If someone is subscribed to this channel, that does not mean that they have to watch every video we make. When I made the Saildrive Diaphragm Replacement video, I knew it would be of virtually no interest to the majority of boat owners. I also knew that for some boat owners who were about to tackle that job themselves (not just when we published the video, but for years to come), it would be a godsend. So I made the video, and from the feedback we have received it has been highly appreciated by the small percentage of our viewers who have taken on that job. Knowing that a significant number of people who were subscribed to our channel weren't interested in that very specific subject didn't stop me from spending valuable hours of my life to make that video, because I knew it would provide value to someone. If a subscriber sees a video title which clearly states the video is about 2 boats that are for sale and they don't give a monkeys about that subject then they should not watch the video. When we make videos about financial freedom and a subscriber has no interest about that subject (which in my humble opinion they should, because this is essential for anyone who wants to escape the rat race and go cruising themselves one day...) then they can just skip those videos. There are plenty of sailing channels out there which have more predictable formats if that is what you are looking for. I will keep making a variety of videos that I believe will help people. Who ends up watching them will be determined by each individual based on their own preferences - as has always been the case. Fair winds, Chris
Couldn't agree more Andy, she looks like a ready-to-go adventure boat. Of course I would want to go over her with a fine-tooth comb first, but she presents very well indeed. Cheers, Chris 👍
In the interest of transparency, we get nothing at all from any party. (Sellers or brokers) People who know us know that we help people get a great deal when they buy a boat, so that is one very 'round about the houses' potential benefit of us making these videos but mostly it is me (Chris) sharing my passion for boats, and hopefully inspiring others out there to live as they wish and not according to how society expects us to live. As for the second part of your point, anyone who has seen this video and is interested in these boats can find them by spending less than 10 minutes on Google. For those who want to know more about them and also wish to save 9.5 minutes of their time, they can (optionally) get the links from us in exchange for their email address and first name. We will then send occasional emails, and continue to provide value for those who would like to get out there cruising one day. Fair winds, Chris
Hi Roderick, Heritage is a very serious boat for sure. She is 98k US (negotiable), which I believe is a very interesting price for a 47 ft L.O.A. live-aboard home which can take a family anywhere in the world. She's already in paradise, so I'm not sure that I'd be in a hurry to go anywhere if she was ours!... Cheers, Chris
@@SailingBritaly thank you for reply Chris ,,, yes a stunning little ship ,, as you say " in different circumstances " and if i was a monohull type ,, good luck with the channel and all best for 2021 to you , your wife and child, Rod
Let’s keep the feet on the ground and just consider few important aspects before even thinking to buy a boat like that: 1) The boat (Mariner 40) is not cheap considering it’s built in 1971, for that price you can find a newer one located in Europe, which is easier to inspect. 2) Consider the cost of the flight from Europe to Central America to survey the boat: not cheap at all. An then you might discover she’s not what you want. So you wasted a lot of money for nothing. 3) Even if she has not major faults (which you cannot know in advance) a boat of 1971 will surely need a complete refit. I personally bought a 1971 boat 15 years ago, good brand, strong and seaworthy, and you can’t imagine all the things I had to replace, repair, etc. Even if you do the work yourself the cost of parts, equipment, etc. can be discouraging.
Let me address each of your points. 1) You are looking at this from your perspective. Most of our viewers are from N. America. 2) We negotiate on boats before we go to see them. Not a single cent wasted. 3) She has a survey available from 2015. Work suggested in that survey has been carried out in the interim. Of course boats can cost a fortune, but not always. We have sold all our boats for more than we paid for them, including all refit costs, and we are in double figures now... If we had 'kept our feet on the ground' we would have been lucky to achieve 10% of what we have achieved so far in life. We would say to people if you have a dream, go for it and don't listen to the people who say it can't be done. As Henry Ford said "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right." Cheers, Chris
Sailboatdata received around 400,000 visits to the website last month, so it would appear that there are many people who find the website useful for comparing boats... Anyone is free to spend as much time as they like looking the data there and putting this into their boat-buying equation. I use the website often, and have done for many years. (And "for the sake of transparency", we have no relationship with sailboatdata, and no reason to promote them, other than our standard genuine desire to help people). Fair winds, Chris

3:42 can be grounded (literally ) tiny home alternative 👍

Oh right. Wow never seen a GRP version. Possibly makes it even more interesting then.
WHAT !yes ! my dream is still alive...
links are not working
Well done Chris!

@@SailingBritaly what an answer. Wish I could be as articulate as you. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Heritage is a beautiful boat a d more importantly it looks extremely well looked after. A bargain for someone. Andy UK
Couldn't agree more Andy, she looks like a ready-to-go adventure boat. Of course I would want to go over her with a fine-tooth comb first, but she presents very well indeed. Cheers, Chris 👍
Did he tell us the asking prices on these boats in the video? What were the prices?
32k is insane. I wish I would have seen this a year ago
So in the interest of transparency do you get anything by sharing these boats (apart from our contact details?

@@SailingBritaly Its all good Chris, I like your videos. I just think it's important to clarify otherwise you leave people guessing. Thanks
Why don’t you have the cute Britaly video intro like the older videos?
I watched the video a week ago and really like the Bruce Robert. I think someone could negotiate a great deal with the owner. Thanks!
There's always a deal to be done...

You skipped over the key ratios on sailboatdata. Do you think these are a useful way of comparing boats?
Sailboatdata received around 400,000 visits to the website last month, so it would appear that there are many people who find the website useful for comparing boats... Anyone is free to spend as much time as they like looking the data there and putting this into their boat-buying equation. I use the website often, and have done for many years. (And "for the sake of transparency", we have no relationship with sailboatdata, and no reason to promote them, other than our standard genuine desire to help people). Fair winds, Chris
Good info...but please start with the price so we don’t have to listen to the intro trying to find cost. Thanks
