Sailboat Shopping Under $50K Budget Part Two
In this part two of our sailboat shopping series, we dive deeper into finding the best used sailboats under a $50,000 budget. Our expert sailor, Chris Jensen, guides you through every step to make an informed decision.
Having examined the top three featured listings and exploring the reasons for not buying older boats in part one, we pick up where we left off with sailboats priced under $443,000. The focus is now on staying within a tighter budget of $50K or more. Chris shows you how to find gems below this threshold.
The Process and Criteria
Chris walks through his thought process as he searches for sailboats, emphasizing factors such as age, condition, livability, and price. He also considers insurance, maintenance costs, location, and whether a boat suits long-term cruising.
Notable models discussed in detail include the Sunbird 34, O’Day 39, and various Bavaria and Hunter boats. These examples help illustrate how to compare different vessels within a budget and understand why some might not fit your needs.
Finding the Perfect Fit
In this video, Chris takes you through his real-time search for sailboats that meet various criteria. You’ll see him discard older boats not suited for long-term cruising due to maintenance issues or smaller size and instead focus on newer vessels.
While some listed boats might be priced above the budget at first glance, he considers factors like location, seller flexibility, and possible negotiation opportunities. By narrowing down preferences based on intended use (coastal sailing vs. world cruising), you can identify suitable options within or close to your budget range.
Tools & Tips for Successful Sailboat Shopping
In addition to sharing insights into specific models, Chris also provides practical tips on using online platforms such as Sailboatdata.com, comparing sales prices of different boats, and understanding boat specs that affect usability and comfort.
Throughout the video series, you’ll learn how to use these resources effectively for your own sailboat shopping journey, ensuring you make a wise investment in your perfect sailing vessel.
What’s Next?
This part two covers the early stages of sailboat shopping within a $50k budget. In future episodes of this series, Chris takes you deeper into higher price brackets and offers additional insights on:
- Comparing various models
- Haggling with sellers for better deals

Welcome to Chasing Latitudes! Have you ever imagined the smell of the ocean air as your boat crashes through the waves? The freedom that comes from casting off the bow lines and heading out to sea to explore new places you can’t reach by car or airplane? Then this channel is for you.
You will not see white sand beaches here, restaurant reviews, beach parties, selfies or Japanese knives. What you will find is factual information based on decades of sailing experience.
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.
You want to take advantage of the amazing newer technology and modern hull designs when it comes to sailing. This is going to make your vessel far easier to sail solol or short handed and make them far more comfortable and efficient to live aboard full time or even just weekenders without buying more boat than you need.
I offer a wide variety of services including consulting where I will take you through the entire process of how to budget properly, choosing what vessel size will work for your needs, what type of vessel, I will help you shop for vessels, determine offer prices, schedule surveys, talk with brokers, teach you how to do your own pre-survey, walk you through hiring the correct surveyor and help you avoid all of the common pitfalls that you will find when purchasing used sailing vessels.
The consulting does not stop there, I will be with you every step of the way and long after you have purchased your vessel as consulting also comes with lifetime access to the members area,.
Chasing Latitudes hosts a large, active private members area where the members are more than happy to offer their own experience to solve problems, host private videos for ASA Sailing quizzes (ASA 101, 103, & 104), and live stream videos which feature anything from member cruising to boat shopping, boat comparisons, and other live content with chat from the subscribers to my YouTube channel and channel members.
