Nigel is a true legend, he advised me on my boat systems, and they run absolutely perfect for the last 3 years. And what a wonderful mention of Capt. Q, I miss his tales of boats.
I crewed on a 38 Cabo from NYC to Bermuda, went through tropical storm Antonio, lots of repairs when we tied off but I always felt safe. The boat sailed incredibly in light air. Wish she was mine!
I've never had the privilege to tour one in person, but every single one that i have come across on the market has impressed me with the fit and finish of the build. That really is an impressive interior ... not a single sign of any water ingress in all of her years. I just wish that it was in my budget, so that i could scoop her up.
A truly beautiful boat! Props to the owner/s who kept it up. Love the enthusiasm from the both of you. Just found my new ‘dream’ boat. Great video, very informative on things I didn’t know before.😅 keep up the great videos!
Cabo Ricos are great boats and this one is a fine example. I'm actually looking for a good offshore capable sailboat, it's too bad this one is too big for me. My upper limit is 34ft. 4 feet doesn't sound like much but I'm of the "smaller boat, smaller problems" mindset :) I'm looking forward to what else you guys can find :)
I know how you feel - if I were 20 years younger she'd already be mine... She's exactly what I loved in my later days sailing - extremely seaworthy and extremely comfortable to live on
I'm 80 and have been seriously looking for a year and narrowed down to a Cabo Rico, Nauticat or Gozzard. I'm in Arizona and looking on the West Coast and as soon as I find 'the one', and I'm leaning to a Cabo listed with Curtis Stokes, I can be out of my house in 2 months and sailing to the horizon.
Wow, wow, wow ! What a boat. Now compare that interior to a modern day Ikea boat. The Ikea boat will have more room but nowhere near the character. A true bluewater boat. It's easy to see myself when you do these videos as I'm 6' 1" and change too :) , Thanks guys always a pleasure.
Now I have that intro song stuck in my head. Thanks! Beautiful boat. We are looking for a walk through transom. The wife and I are getting up in years.
I know what I'd get if I spent $87,000 on a boat, divorce papers!! But as you know my wife doesn't like the water. Cool boat guys too bad it can't be mine. Yep guys I think stunner is the correct word for this boat. I'll be surprised if it doesn't sell in a couple of days. Wow the exterior is just as nice as the interior. I really like the wood accent on the bow. Ya know, I have a birthday coming up the 3rd of next month and I can't think of a nicer present. Only one question, is the ballast internal so no keel bolts to worry about? Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Welcome aboard! My in-laws live in Tucson. We typically visit down there in February…love it. Always a nice break from the Maine winter! Thanks for watching!
Seems like a very good boat for some slow cruising. It will keep you safe. I would prefer something a bit more modern personally, as for instance Alubat, if we talk monohul, but there you go. For sure a bullet proof type of boat.
Nice boat indeed. I don't like flexible solar panels since they don't last like rigid panels, but if they are new they will last a few years. There were a couple of things below that indicated problems that had been dealt with. All it needs is electric winches and a Leisure Furl boom. You can redo the lifelines in an afternoon for well under $1K.
@@crosbycofod5052 It was clear that several of the ports had leaked at some time. The wood under them looks to have been stripped and revarnished, but the stains from the leaks are still evident. It is tough to get rid of those stains without stripping and staining an entire area.
It’s actually spelled windlass. Apparently derived from an old Norse word. Others say it’s a spin on winding, like winding something up. Other than that, I wish I had an electric one and not a manual one…it would make life easier on my back!
I have actually heard, that it is so named, because of the wind passing, while you haul your 50 pound anchor manually. Just joking. The Danish word is anchor winch, literally translated to English. How much simpler that would be for people, instead of such a crazy Norse rooted word, and after all, Denmark were the second greatest merchant seafaring nation for centuries, and only second to Netherlands. It could have been worse: You could have run with a Dutch derived word in English!
For a 1985, 38-foot sailboat, I actually think the access is pretty darn good. Easy access to impeller, fuel and oil filters, and your fuel injectors. Also easy access to key fill caps - oil and coolant. I've seen a lot worse...

@@swampyankee72 Just looked at one in Aruba that was $39,000 with absolutely everything, sad it sold before I could get it! This should be priced at $50,000 maybe.
I actually got on her and looked her over from stem to stern, and she was in great condition. Doing the bright work on a boat is not a selling item for me. There are some differences between the two, but nothing substantial.
@@boatfools Great boat but also at $87k there is a lot of other options in that range. In general, I wonder if owners really think they are going to get their money back out of an older boat. It has to be an investment of love rather than a solid return.
@@boatfools I had a 36 Cape Dory for year on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Cutter with a Yankee headsail and manual winches. This boat with Yankee would be a dream to single hand.
You talk like going around the world is something good. There is wear and tear that you would never know unless you have an incredibly good surveyor who is really, really experienced in offshore boats. Those are very hard to find. Nice try trying to sell your friend’s boat.
We met the seller only once - the day we filmed. And a heck of a nice guy. Additionally, we live in Maine - excellent marine surveyors abound. And, of course, we always recommend a survey. I would take that boat anywhere. Not sure why you're throwing that last dig in.

We were blown away by this boat!

Beautiful boat. We are looking for a walk through transom. The wife and I are getting up in years.
me too
A great feature to have, for that exact reason.
Beautiful boat, wish I was looking right now. Wow.
Always fun to look, though!
I remember seeing them new in Annapolis in 86 also with the 42 and 45- they were beautiful boats - but the Amel won my heart back then.
Fair enough! Thanks for watching.

Take the judge aboard and then ask him if you should get rid of wife.

First time we’d been on one. Really cool boat!
These Crealock designs are distilled brilliance, and she's immaculate. Great find; wish I had the $$ !
$$$: Same! Thanks for the comment and the view!
Dammit nice.
Looking for a boat with up to date standing rigging and furling main sail about this length .
Whereabouts are you looking?
Beautifull. Sold?
She has not sold. She was under contract but is now available again.
Could you tell me if the boat is still for sale? Thanks
Hello! Please email the seller directly. I am not certain, and you'll get to him as fast as I will! Good luck! Gary's email: garyfreeburg@hotmail.com
Are the fuel tanks fiberglass or are they aluminum?
missed the batt bank but very nice
Come on ! I’ve never seen a dry cockpit sailing on the ocean !
Sold?
She is currently under contract. Sorry!
Better glue your charts to that charttable
How many horse power is the engine??
45 hp. Lots of details listed in the description below the video. Thanks for watching!

Why is it named Windless?
Windlass

A bit to cramped for me but a nice boat no doubt.

C’mon, when you look at that engine and say it has good access. It’s ok to say something isn’t good even when they are your friends
For a 1985, 38-foot sailboat, I actually think the access is pretty darn good. Easy access to impeller, fuel and oil filters, and your fuel injectors. Also easy access to key fill caps - oil and coolant. I've seen a lot worse...
You forgot the alternator is easy as possible but a starter could require yoga type moves.
