Well thought out and explained. I would add looking at it longer term and averaging it , say over 10 years of ownership. I factor in new sails and rigging and possible engine change and then a contingency for other unexpected surprises. And not forgetting that costs go up exponentially with every few feet of boat length.
Thanks Graeme. I think the longer term is the best way to look at it. It would have been interesting to add in all the things that I didn’t have to buy. I probably don’t want to know…
So, you could live on the water on your comfy boat, in Sydney for less than $10k per year.. Thats pretty cheap living even factoring in the cost of a decent boat. I wonder how long it gets to slide by like that.. being Sydney and all? House repayments + insurance + rates and costs of running all things elec in a house...Boat life is looking more and more affordable by the day.
I hear more and more of young couples buying big cats and living aboard because they can't get a mortgage. I don't know where they park though as they couldn't stay too long legally in any place in NSW...
Love the boat at the 2 minute mark East or west of harbour bridge and Spit bridge have different rates I’m not sure you need to antifoul every year, I get the bum scrubbed every 3-4 months and antifoul last a few years Water temp and location can greatly affect the hull Good effort by the creator 👏👏👏
@@peterbowler4521 Thanks Peter! The Northshore 330 at the 2 minute mark is lovely, I agree. Mine is the Northshore 340 featured elsewhere in the video and I look forward to its next buff so it sparkles like that 330. It’s great to hear that you’re getting a few years out of your anti foul. I’m just about to book a diver for mine as she’s getting sluggish. Thanks for your kind comments, all the best, Tony.
Thank god sailing is cheap ! I changed my SOP’s years ago , sold the yacht , purchased 7 Lamborghinis , ( different colour for each day of the week ) , a city penthouse , an investment property in Monaco 🇲🇨 , 2 helicopters 🚁 , a country property ( dodgy tax right off ) and a lot of gold bullion and I still have money left over 🤷♂️ , yep , boats are great 😳

Great video. I’m in the process of purchasing so this was exactly what I was looking for. Cheers
Thank you! I was hoping it would be helpful. What care you buying?

Yes boating is definitely a lifestyle choice that you have to be prepared and willing to pay for.
@@sailingelleray yep , the costs etc. have gone through the roof in the past 30 years , then again , what hasn’t ? 🤷♂️
@@christopherrussell1677I sold my 2 bedroom apartment with garage for $7,500. Things were much cheaper in 1977.
@@christopherrussell1677 I don’t think people would mind so much if wages kept up and you actually feel like you were getting value for money.
