The search for a new cruising sailboat has been much more difficult than we anticipated. We never would have anticipated that just as we became ready to buy our next boat that the used sailboat market would explode into the most aggressive seller’s market in history.

Last time we were boat shopping you could just about name your price and there was a decent chance that your offer would be accepted or at least strongly considered. Now, good cruising sailboats are selling in days instead of years and at prices that are sometimes 200-300% more than just a couple years ago. That’s great news for today’s sellers, but I think this will ultimately result in a glut of boats that thousands of buyers will eventually regret buying. Perhaps that eventual onset of widespread buyer’s remorse will play a factor in finding our next boat. Time will tell.

I can tell you one thing though. We’re not getting caught up in the current market trend. We won’t be paying too much for a boat. We’ll continue to be patient and wait for the right boat and the right opportunity to come our way. Eventually this approach will pay off and result in us being able to buy a good cruising sailboat that will not only meet our needs, but be purchased at a reasonable price so that we can live comfortably aboard without the stress of knowing that we paid too much.

The great news is that even though we have not yet found a boat, we have found a temporary solution… or, more accurately, the solution found us! This video is about that solution, our plans, our timeline, and how we intend to ultimately find and buy our next cruising sailboat.

A new sailing adventure is right around the corner.

Stay tuned.
