The Perfect Bluewater Sailboat You'll Never See | Sailing Truth Show
Most people searching for the perfect bluewater sailboat will never see one like this. My book is about EXACTLY this kind of decision-making: đ https://bethecaptain.com
In this livestream, I walk through a 1979 Hans Christian 38 MkII listed for $129,000 in Sidney, BC, a boat that's had somewhere north of $80K in the right kind of upgrades between 2022 and 2024. New Yanmar 4JH57, new Selden rig, Hasse sails, full rewire, B&G electronics, new Lofrans windlass, Vulcan anchor, 300' of new chain. This isn't a cosmetic refit. This is a full bluewater prep.
So why is she for sale two years later?
That's the question most buyers don't ask, and it's the most important one. In this stream I break down the four types of boat owners you'll encounter when shopping for an offshore boat, which one you actually want to buy from, and why even "perfect" refits aren't created equal.
If you've ever looked at a listing and wondered what's really going on behind the spec sheet, this one's for you.
