Buying a budget sailing boat
Learn from my 5 mistakes and don’t get stuck in the boat yard.
I have actually owned 5 sailing boats. Three of these were sailed and two never even made it on the water. It’s given me a lot of experience of NOT getting a boat on the water. So in this video I talk about the five mistakes which I’ve made or nearly made which have led to absolutely NO sailing.
I talk about:
- Beware the ‘TLC’
- The Project Boat
- Engine Woes
- Realistic budgets
- Location
At the end of the video I’ll also show you the budget sailing boat which we just bought and will hopefully take us on some adventures in the UK this summer. I can already say, this boat is on the water and we have sailed it, hurrah!
My latest YouTube video discusses 5 mistakes that I’ve made when buying a budget sailing boat. Watch the video here.
