Thanks for sharing the actual costs. It is very important for people who are actually looking to buy a boat, to understand what they can afford. Your openness and transparency is appreciated more than you can imagine.
Thank you 🙏🏻 Im happy you find my videos useful. I love to see more people sailing however it’s important to understand the cost and the reality. Especially if someone planning to become a live aboard and do long distance sailing. My opinion bigger is better but safety triumphs it all. So better adjust to affordable size that can be safe and well maintained. Thank you for watching and being here! Cheers 🍻
Thank you so much for your kind words🙏🏻 I try to skip the bullshitt and just say it as is. Hopefully things comes through as realistic and correct as I hope. But I’m just a sailor and not an expert. All the best and cheers 🍻
Thanks for sharing Thomas. I hate it when people say things like "such a marine is very reasonable instead of saying the true cost. Reasonable to one person might be staggeringly expensive to another. You say it as it is!
@@SailingwithThomas I have just came across your channel and have been Marathon watching your videos from the beginning! Very intriguing! I’m want to ask you, how old are you and what type of work you do or did! Totally impressed with your adventure! Wow amazing! I want to do the same thing but feel I may have try to start too late I’m 57 and time is running out! Plus I don’t any experience sailing but would love to lol
I am glad to see your adding more mast lights , I use a marina near a popular anchor area , and coming in a dark area you cannot sea a small anchor light 50 ft in the air , it is obscured by the town lights ! so be safe use a lower anchor light also
Thank you so much for watching! Yes it’s sometimes difficult not only to see a yacht at anchor but sometimes to even find it out at the anchorage. So lots of lights helps a lot. Cheers 🍻
Nice to see things getting back together. Very impressed at the professional crew. This is money well spent. Be Free will be running at her full potential with new rigging. Great detailed video as always
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m also impressed by their work and it’s been a pleasure to work with them. It’s gonna take a lot from my budget but I knew this would be part of my journey. Now I can sail fast again with low shoulders just enjoying the big blue! Cheers 🍻
Thank you for this compliment🙏🏻 I’m not chasing numbers hence the fact I don’t do T&A or click baiting. Rather have viewers being surprised by content and a different channel. I try to sail my own direction, and also do my best. Always nice to receive positive feedback and see appreciation for the money spent and hard work of making a video. So thank you very much!

@@SailingwithThomas Your attitude is much appreciated Thomas . Numbers will go up due to 'word of mouth' , as they say , due to proper merit . Some T and A is nice in the right place and time ; Rick has a good balance , well , until he falls off his bike !
BRAVO! Yours is my favorite sailing channel!! Your mast is gonna look bad-ass with all those lights. Looking forward to seeing them on a twilight video. Be safe, Thomas!
Wow thank you 🙏🏻 I’m honoured to read your comment and hope I will be able to not disappoint you in future videos. Can’t wait to share videos and images with lights on👌🏻 Cheers from BE FREE 🍻
Wow that came in a lot cheaper than I expected bearing in mind where you are, how much you had replaced, and the size of your rig. Nice and a place to note for the future when I am in Martinique. Thanks for sharing this Thomas
Thank you for watching and your support 🙏🏻 So far really happy and biggest surprise to me all the way have been the communication with updates and actually keeping their word and schedule. The quality I had good references ahead of involving them. Pretty rare in the Caribbean. Cheers 🍻
True words my friend! It’s just to have it in the budget not to compromise with safety. I’m happy you enjoyed this episode and the rigging project. All the best 🍻
Glad i have enough space on my 32 ft nicholson and can do the rigging myself, its not rocket science. I think of using galvanised because its stronger then stainless and u spot easy when its going bad because stainless corodes from inside out. White painted galvanised looks very pretty on a boat like i have.
Ouch, that’s a substantial amount of money! On the other hand, I reckon it would be _very_ much more expensive if anything would break during a passage. Probably I need a hefty Lotto prize before untying the lines… 🤔
Yes for sure lots of money and it hurts... my budget is bleeding😅 However as I said in earlier episode. If you think safety is expensive, try an accident. It’s not my quote but a former college in SAR.
Gr8 videos!! What is the name of the tool or device being used on the standing rigging at 16 minutes 29 seconds? How is it possible to work out the correct tension for your standing rigging on your yacht?
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 The tool is called Check-Line Cable Tension Meter and you need to know the strength of the cable and the tension limit for the specific cable. Also most modern yachts have a table telling how much tension it should be on different cables recommended from in my case Selden. All the best and cheers 🍻
Thank you for watching🙏🏻 1 EUR is apx 1,2 USD at the moment. I can tell by your Scandinavian last name you have some connections to Norway 🇳🇴 All the best and cheers 🍻
Not an outrageous price for a boat that size. We got close to that on a 33 foot boat, but that included sandblasting the mast, boom and spinnaker pole back to bare metal for inspection. The repaint wasn't cheap, but it was worth it.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience on your refit as well. Much appreciated. Mast and rigging is after the hull it self the most important things on a sailboat. So to me this sounds as a great investment. And for sure gonna look stunning as well. All the best and cheers 🍻
Currently looking t a 60ft ex racer to convert to a cruiser and the price difference from a 55ft to 60ft to re-rig is a bit of a shock. I know the rest of the boat will have higher costs but it looks like its getting out of hand! André in Sydney
The running costs on bigger boats is just crazy! It’s for a reason you often can do a very good buy on bigger compared to similar smaller yachts. Thank you so much for watching! All the best and cheers 🍻
Thanks for all rig details, very informative! Cuddling with the mast, yep recognize that behaviour 🙄 …been known to talk to my sails/skis/boats/boards and yes, they do behave better! Sometimes that method works on my kids as well?! 😉🙃
Ha ha🤣 So your also a sail whisper 🤣 I guess giving attention and share some love mostly pays of in the long run. All the best and thank you for watching! Cheers 🍻
I’m sorry to not have the blueprint on this. Wild guess is mainland Europe would be cheaper, at least for my boat as European brand and Swedish rigging. Cheap can be expensive so quality and experience is key
To be on the safe side every 10 years are recommended. However there is differences and some rigging have intervals of 15 years. As a long distance sailor with lots of miles under my keel and hard sailing in rough weather even 9 years turned out to be about perfect timing.
Keep seeing these exponential cost curves but still think I could make a big boat work. We will live-aboard in the med 6 months of the year for foreseeable future - need space for 4 grown children and friends to join us. My wife thinks I need help to talk me out of buying a comparatively low cost (up front) 1990 60ft German Frers. Needs re-rigging, teak deck fixed (some water damage to main bulkhead) but otherwise decently refitted over last 5 years. I need to love a boat to do the work on it. Am I doomed?
Your definitely not doomed however the curves in running costs are for real. A 60 feet will double in running costs compared to a 55. That said for partly livaboard you have less use and wear and tear. My opinion bigger is better and also to me it was important not to feel like I’m camping. Nothing wrong with that but for years I find it to uncomfortable and enjoy space. So for having guests and family onboard you definitely want space. Guess that’s the main reason so many choose a catamaran over sailing performance. My experience is rather go sailing than having an upper fixer. It will be plenty to fix anyway. To many I know never leaves the marina seeing the adventure they dreamt of because buying to big with to many projects. Some modern 50 foot yachts have more space than an older 65 and clever solution to utilise the space even more. End of the day it’s what suits you and what you want. All the best and good luck in your exciting journey ahead. Cheers 🍻
@@SailingwithThomas I dont know what I dont know - do you have a budgeting xl you use and happy to share - Im getting estimates for most things and not yet seeing double - maybe 30% more than a 45 foot boat. e.g. annual berth costs at 9k p.a. rather than 6k for a 45 foot boat. New cruising sails (Main & Genoa) are 8.5k. I haven't got rigging quotes back yet. Like my wife says, I need help.
Jeg gikk fra en Beneteau First 24 til en Scanmar 33 (studentbolig). Utrolig hva noen få fot gjør mot lommeboka. Og du har en 55 foter! Hvordan klarer du det?
Herlig!! Scanmar 33 er en flott båt! Seilt flere Færder seilaser med sånn back in the days👍🏻 Jeg kjøpte så ny båt jeg hadde råd til innenfor budsjettet og det er delt i to. En del båt og like stor del til vedlikehold over tid. Jeg kunne kjøpt dyrere båt med høyere status men mener fortsatt jeg har fått enormt mye for pengene og kan ha råd til driftskostnader uten å gå på kompromiss med sikkerhet.

Very informative video again. As it is very difficult to diagnose work hardening, deterioration of stainless steel without x raying every bit of it how do you decide to change the standing rigging? My boat is 11 years old but has spent a minimum of 9 months every year and the last 2 years unused. The company doing your boat looked very professional and a good job is nearly always value for money.
Yeah I’m very happy with job done here! If I was only holiday coastal sailing back home I would most likely not be that strict. However on long distance ocean sailing 10 years on this type of rigging is mandatory to replace. All the best 🍻
