Have you been following along with Chris’s videos as he takes you step by step through the process of purchasing a sailboat? This episode is part four of a twenty-part series aimed at guiding you from boat shopping all the way to actually sailing on your new vessel. With a budget in mind, which falls between $50,000 and $75,000, Chris is eager to share his extensive knowledge about the different options available out there.
Sailing Into the Perfect Boat
As we dive deeper into this series, it’s essential to keep in mind that buying a used sailboat can lead to significant savings if you do your research and make smart choices. Chris emphasizes the importance of comparing boats across various parameters before making an offer or committing financially.
In part four of the series, Chris starts by discussing models like the 331s, Hunter 33s, and more that have been previously covered in previous episodes. For those interested in these types of vessels, his spreadsheet can be a useful tool to compare various boats effectively.
Exploring Different Models
The series continues as Chris walks through the options within their budget range. Each boat has its unique features, advantages, and potential drawbacks, making it essential to understand them fully before deciding which one might be right for your needs.
One important aspect mentioned is the value-added tax (VAT) for European countries, often associated with used sailboat purchases in certain locations. This is an aspect that can significantly impact the overall cost of buying a boat, and therefore should not be overlooked when shopping around.
Chris also takes the time to discuss common issues found in older boats like water damage, rust, and other wear-and-tear that come with age. He emphasizes the importance of checking all aspects before getting attached emotionally or making any decisions on buying a specific vessel.
The Ultimate Boat for You
In addition to going through numerous sailboat models, Chris also highlights other factors you should consider while shopping. These include checking the standing rigging, sails condition, engine hours, safety gear like life raft and flares, and whether AIS (Automatic Identification System) is installed.
Throughout the episode, Chris underscores the importance of not becoming emotionally attached to any particular boat at an early stage in your search process. To ensure you find the right one, take the time needed to research, compare options, and ultimately decide which sailboat makes sense for your budget, preferences, and intended use.

My channel is specifically meant for one thing and one thing only, to help YOU find your new to you fancy-dancy yacht of your dreams and get on the water in the fastest, most time efficient manner.
Don’t get caught up in looking at old boats! I focus on mostly newer vessels, built in 2000 or later because I want you to spend as much of your time as possible sailing, not practicing your restoration skills on an old boat attempting to bring it to its former glory.
