    My spouse and I readily handle our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 54DS, a 40,000 pound boat, by ourselves, including a long distance delivery from the Chesapeake to the Great Lakes. But the equipment that is essential to make that work is as follows: 1. Bluetooth headsets so we can talk to each other when docking and anchoring without yelling at each other. 2. Bow thruster without question 3. In-mast furled mainsail so we never leave the cockpit under sail 4. Electric winches for sheets and furling lines 5. Walk-thru transom and swim platform to make boarding from water or dinghy or emergency a non-event 6. Davits for the dinghy and hoist/rail mount for the dinghy motor 7. A windlass that can be remotely controlled from the helm 8. Remote control for the autopilot. We can debate the design merits of one boat versus another for cruising couples, but the above feature list is what will mean the difference between a couple having a pleasant experience versus a potentially stress-filled one.

      @@Grand-paws Yeah, the price point on used Jeanneau DS's (42, 45, 49, 54) really shot up coming out of the pandemic, perhaps more so than other comparable makes/models. Friends of ours were shopping for a 42DS in 2021 and a nicely equipped one in good condition was over $200K for a 2005 model and there was a bidding war.

      We bought a Jeanneau SO 37 and it works fine for us. The V-berth was too small so we ordered a custom mattress to extend the bed so both of us can sleep in it. Didn't need a bigger boat, needed a bigger bed! An in-mast mainsail was a must, swim platform for ease gettin on and off. Didn't need electric winches with this size boat. Wish we had more solar and a dinghy davit. A few more feet longer boat we could have added davits but for the price point it worked for us. We have a FP 5K generator, a watermaker, and life is good.

      @@sailingwindspirit7391 Sounds like you have the bases covered nicely. Custom mattresses are on our shopping list, right now making do with foam toppers on the factory cushions. Agree that electric sheet winches are probably not needed for the loads of a 37 foot boat, but another advantage to having at least an electric halyard winch is that sending someone up the mast is a breeze.

    We, the soon-to-be cruising couple, after 8 months of searching up and down the east coast and a max budget of $185k (including the inevitable upgrades, insurance, taxes, initial haulout fees, surveyor, etc.) went with a 2007 Jeanneau SO 45 with an all-new Selden in-mast furler rig and sails ... very happy with the decision and as a bonus, it turns out she's a rocket ship😁

    Wow seriously ?
    Is that backed up by oil sampling data ? Industry data of certain engines ?
    Contamination of the interior .. the oil by the fuel burnt and the carbon left behind . These little 3 and 4 cylinder diesels are very fuel efficient hence less contamination.
    Air intake on the water has very little dust silica compared to land use engines. Less contamination again .
    They run constant rpm variable load governing the fuel system . That’s helpful for an engine also.

    Hi Tim:
    When we shopped in 2011 for a 40 ft. sailboat for extended summer cruising my wife selected the Beneteau 40 primarily for the galley layout. Microwave of to the side not above the stove and massive freezer separate from the refrigerator. All lines lead aft for easy couple or single handed sailing. On calm days the 54hp Yanmar really performs well, too. A large bulkhead starboard for a TV and plenty of storage space in the port cockpit locker, easy walkout to get in and out of the dingy. Glad we bought this boat!

    Something like, a ketch, an aluminum boat, a pilothouse sailboat, a cat- or gaff-rigged boat, a motor-sailor, things that are outside the mainstream. Personally, I'm taken by the Ovni boats for when my time comes to cast off, I'm sure there are others who like the "quirky boats" as well.

    I don't think it's so much this model or that one, I think for happy cruising couples -- it is all details. Are you both comfortable? Can you get away from each other? Are your needs met? Is the toilet comfortable and easy to use and keep clean?
    Good point about the get away from the other person space. Everyone needs this. It's one of the first things I noticed about my boat. Separable spaces. There's the table, the nav desk -- not far enough apart. But then there's the other desk in the aft cabin. That's a deal maker.
    I think galley's need to have an exhaust fan. I''m working on one for my boat. Using an old hatch window I cut out a piece of plywood, made an elliptical cut out for the 6" fan. So far it seems to be working -- but why isn't this an off the shelf item? There are many things a boat should have that just don't seem to be available. (Ever see a full pull out trash can, no gaps? It's like 'duh' especially after you spill a bunch of coffee grounds trying to fossik out the one your boat builder spent zero time thinking about.)
    Heat/AC if you have these they should work. I was bundled up in my boat on a cold day and wondered about the heat exchanger. It worked for AC, so I tried it for heat. And once I remembered to open the thru hull so it could 'exchange' with the water - heated the cabin right up. Wow. I'm ready. Now I have to get back on the dating apps.
    I've also added Starlink, Apple TV and a 42" 4K HD - full internet and movies.
    And do you or your other sit sideways on the cushions? They're not really comfortable if your butt keeps sliding. I got an after market pad for an office chair to solve that problem. And good reading lights on bendy arms for the cabins - or anywhere someone likes to read. (They made LED cabin lights, they just didn't seem to make them very bright.)
    Also a folding helm wheel. These cost $1000, it's a lot to pay for 6" and not having to crawl over the bench. I'm always amazed at well designed boats that never seemed to consider how you get from one place to the other. (All these little things and the missing things -- like the galley exhaust fan -- it's a business opportunity. Once the other person knows what could be added to make a boat more livable? They're going to insist on it. Are there only people who want to scrape hulls and empty tanks?)
    Ah soundproofing. Yes. I spent a loud stressful 'month' on a Jeaneau 40 in just three days, but only motoring. My throat hurt from trying to talk over that engine. I didn't think of this until you mentioned it because my Hunter's 74hp Yanmar is so effectively silenced.
    I understand what you mean by 'production," finished in such a way you're not resurfacing it every six months. (I just saw a boat listed with a permanent cover for all the teak kick rails... Ah wouldn't just extruded aluminum look better than teak you have to life up Sunbrella to peek at?) As an old DIYer, I can tell you, after you've done something three times you never want to do it again. Teak is beautiful, but every damn year? for the rest of your life? I've built furniture, but on the outside of a boat I only want to see Sunbrella, solar panels, metal and gel coat.
    Another detail, those raised pullmans and the V Berths, how easy is it to get in and out? Do they need step, and a bar or something your important partner can grab or hang on to as she swings into bed? Every boat I've ever been on needs at a few extra grab bars. And every galley table needs a bigger radius on that one corner. It's got one on the other side...

  • @stevearcher2352
    @stevearcher2352 Год назад +1

    As blue water/ cruising boat I'm curious if you have reviewed the Caliber 40 LRC or 47 LRC boats as they are similar in ways to the Island Packet boats, without the pedigree. They run a bit heavy, but part of the weight is with the unique/ substantial water & fuel tankage. The 40 LRC has a weird chart table location opposite the galley, but everything else works similar to the Island Packets along with the inclusion of a stay sail & skeg mounted rudder. The 47 LRC has the best layout with two full size state rooms, but the price point is a bit steep.
    As a SoCal sailor that only coastal sails in smaller Beneteau's & Catalina's I'm looking into the options of cruising as retirement nears.

  • @ChainringTattoo
    @ChainringTattoo Год назад

    As always great content. The one question I always have is depreciation. The real cost of a boat like this is the purchase price minus the eventual sale price plus maintenance. It is probably an impossible question but it would be great if you could guess a 3 to 5-year resale value. It has been my experience that boats lose a lot of value in the first couple of years, and then the price stabilizes for a while until the price falls off a cliff when people think it is now too old. This price curve varies a lot by make and model.
    Assuming the boat has been maintained to the state it was purchased in could you estimate its value in 3 years?

    I really enjoy your insights into sailboats for most of us. I was recently on an Oyster 485 from 1993. It was hull No. 3 of the 485. I found it to be a very comfortable boat while beating to wind, an easy boat to sail, and an amazing boat for comfort at the end of the day. The deck saloon feature of the boat provided great light to the saloon and the ability to open forward lights to flood the saloon with air in the heat of Panama. I would like to hear your thoughts on Oyster deck saloon boats for both comfort and performance. Electric winches and electric windlass improved the ease of sailing.

We are now on our second new boat in a charter fleet having taken the first boat out of the fleet and winter cruising for six winters. Yanmar predicts 10,000 hrs as useful life on their marine engines. Any 20 year old marine engine will need significant maintenance in a warm salt enviornment hours are not the only determining factor.

    I took my wife to the local new boat dealer, so she could see what kinds of boats are out there (we won't be buying new). We have a C&C 30 and that is the only thing she has seen, so she needed an introduction. We looked at a Beneteau 34 and it was a flat out NO. We moved up to a 42 and she said better, but no place to get away from each other. We entered the 51 and she said, this could work. The downside is, with just the two of us, I will be mostly single handing and I suspect the 50+ range might be too much. It does need to be blue water capable (not likely a Beneteau), as we have had assignments in England, Scotland, and Germany, and would like to leave the USA to visit them at least once or twice.

    Since Dick Beaumont became my sailing Guru, I cannot imagine buying a used boat, especially an older one, that doesn't have two safety features for bluewater sailing; an integrated keel, and a rudder skeg. And until saint Boyan Slatt does not manage to clean up every ocean, and containers keep tumbling out of cargo ships, a boat without those two features would make me very uneasy to cross oceans with.

    Am I missing something? A diesel engine at least when it comes to heavy equipment is good for 10,000 hours. Is there some reason why diesel engines in a sailboat are only good for five? Generally speaking with heavy equipment you get 5,000 out of a gas engine you get 10,000 out of a diesel because the RPMs are far less for the diesel.

      I have finally bought a boat at the end of last season.
      When I had started looking a long while ago (on and off), I saw certain boats for let’s say $60 to $80 k.
      Now the same type of boats and in very similar year and conditions sell for an average of $120 - $130 k. Further more, it’s not just the higher price but also the fact that they don’t stay on the market long enough at all.
      This is also why it took me so long to find the right one for me. 🤯

Pearson 36..couple on Sailing Uma have sailed it for 6+ years all over the place…couples don’t need 42 + feet to cruise on..too much boat at anchorage and then there’s the $.

    Haha! I would've assaulted you if you didn't include a Morgan (Thank You, Tim!) or II. I've been smitten by the Morgan 43, 44CC and the 45.3(?) for all of those Morgan reasons: lots of thick glass, good seafaring when the weather goes to Shiite & the ability to give up and heave too if getting too badly beaten up. If you require 'stout' once every 10 years- Morgan's got it. But, what about a nice Jeanneau 379, 37 or 39i? I was also thinking about those many & varied Beneteau Oceanis' available: 40, 37, 393, 373...Long list of sugar scoopy boats and even some with dual wheels. My wife is 100Lbs soaking wet, but is a 400Lb hell biatch on wheels when tired, angry, frustrated or seasick. It's too high a price to pay to pound upwind with a super lite hull & structure. I'd rather draw 5' & carry 23,500 pounds 'O displaced water.
