My $80K Sailboat Shortlist
đ SALES END JULY 31ST â Donât Miss This. This is your last chance to grab the first edition of my new book Be The Captain â https://bethecaptain.com
$80,000. Itâs one of the most overlooked price points in the cruising worldâand also one of the most interesting. Youâre not quite scraping the bottom of the barrel, but youâre not shopping turnkey either. Youâre in the middle: smart buyer territory.
In this video, I give you my personal shortlist of 8 bluewater sailboats over 40 feet that Iâd actually trust offshoreâand 5 that show up all the time but arenât what they seem.
Whether youâre looking for your first liveaboard or downsizing for long-term cruising, this list is for you.
