Is this a Good Boat?
May 17, 2025 by Sailing Zingaro | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:59 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

My new book, “Be the Captain,” is finally done! http://bethecaptainbook.com/
This is the field manual I wish I had when I first started sailing offshore.
Ever wondered how I actually search for boats online? In today’s video, I’m taking you behind the scenes and showing you my exact step-by-step process for finding and examining sailboats.
My goal isn’t just to show you a good boat; it’s to teach you HOW and WHERE to search. Think of it as learning how to fish, instead of just being given a fish.
