    I’ve been building and repairing boats for more than forty years. Your suggestions here are good. The island packets, however are in a different class. Having looked behind the varnish so to speak, there is a level of quality to them that is comparable to most of the custom yachts that are priced hundreds of thousands more

    The only thing I would disagree with in your vid, is how great the Beneteaus are. I am far from an armchair sailor as well. While they might be ok sailing boats, and people are crossing oceans in them, this doesn't qualify them as true passage makers. I would say that it's most likely we will never experience a truly dangerous storm, but they happen, and a Beneteau is not the boat to be in if you do! The tradewind passages "can" be very safe, but they still can be plagued with large, uncomfortable seaways, and in the wrong time of year see typhoons (see any information on the Queens Birthday Storm, or the Fastnet Storm, these are the types of storms which any mariner attempting ocean passages should try to be as prepared as possible for, including the right boat!). Beneteau's have large flat areas incorporated into their hull designs which make them "pound" in a seaway, especially to windward. This makes for a very uncomfortable passage and a fatigued crew. Bill Crealock sites fatigue as the most dangerous detractor to safety! They are also all "spade rudder" builds, which I, and I venture to say most true voyagers would say is a huge no no! Spade rudders don't just shear off, the back end of a spade rudder is like a can opener and when struck by a container, a whale, or any large debris will cut the after stations of a thin glass hull, which Beneteaus are known for, open like a can, and this happens! I think it would have been helpful, or maybe your responsibility, to state something about these detriments to your viewers. Especially as this vid is oriented towards first time buyers with little or no experience with sailboats or voyaging, and to whom this vid might be very influential. They have the burden of doing their own research, you have the burden of giving them thorough information! Thanks! Peace

    I like the way you think. Get in the water ASAP. Some of us that are starting have no clue. It's best to buy a boat ready to go.

    I would suggest you look at hull design before anything, think full keel, then budget for a full survey before putting your hand in your pocket further

    Good choices and #5 should be #5 _ Nice surprise to see the prices _ So i get the idea when refitted one could be "good enough" to go for about $65K usd _ I am in the gathering info stage 102 _ There are quite a few good ones out there that are not the well known names _ Just to name one is the Cape Dory _ Maybe like a tier two quality? _ I've come to the conclusion, subject to change upon new information, that when i am ready to buy i won't have one or two in mind, but instead i'll see what's out there, then check out the specs, etc on sailboat data - this is the over-simplified version, of coarse there is a lot to it as knowledge, knowing what to look for, all adds into the mix of making an informed decision _ IF at all possible i want to buy where i don't get high taxes added on too _ Anyways thnx for the vg video - from a thumbs-up subber :>)

    My first trip from the Caribbean to Bermuda was crewing on an Island Packet 40. We were hit with 70 kt winds and 25' seas. No problem. The captain had upgraded from a brand new "Bendy-toy" 45 that suffered catastrophic structural failures crossing the Gulf Stream in 40 kt winds and 15' seas. The main bulkhead delaminated from the hull, the rug went slack and the hull could be seen to visibly twist as easy following sea crossed under the boat. No one in a storm ever said "I was so smart to save money and buy a cheap boat.".

    Great information for me. For would be a good comparable catamaran for an entry level blue water boat?

    Hallberg-Rassy, Island Packet and Hans Christian are my top 3 (Not necessarily in that order) ... The Tartan was really not on my radar until this video ... Thanks! 👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻

    I am doing some research on boating and craft that will be a main work horse for the Caribbean (US territories). I have been researching the Beneteau's to Prout cats to steel hulls. I'm taking my time, as there are more boats in the world than there are sailors. So no rush right now. But this video added a few more names i can look up. Thnax.

    Friend of mine ,years ago, had a 23 foot that crossed Atlantic 7 times. It was glass with twin keels, fiberglass and I believe it was Dutch built but that might only be because she was Dutch. Anyone have any idea?
