The broker said that he should be able to sell it “ within a year”. He didn’t listen so went to another broker and went through the same scenario. This guy listened ( what a concept). We had is sold in a month! Done. I was willing to bring the price down to a reasonable amount and it sold right away. I didn’t fight, grind, bicker, I sold the boat for a good price to a young coulpe that will really enjoy it. Win, win!

    Fast cats sail more often. Motor less. Not really that much faster but more comfortably in lighter winds and seas, with less slamming and less hobby-horsing. Most of the time daggerboards are up which is great for less drag and more speed. Usually better built. A fast cat sailed slowly is a great way to learn how to be a better sailor. Reef early and enjoy sailing those light breeze days!

    Sorry to hear you keep getting sick. I know my sailing plans were derailed going into retirement. Cindy, my wife of 26 years, had one more year left before retiring. I hope you didn't do what my wife did back in 2020. She was the only one in my family to line up for it and a second round, not even my 70s parents did it. Afterwards my wife kept having one illness after another, always getting sick from something. I now have found myself as a widow at 55. Do everything you can do, naturally, to stay healthy. Even though you haven't found you vessel, I'm enjoying your world traveling.

And as much as we are appalled by some people’s behavior, we aren’t here to police the market like two middle age superhero’s or a husband and wife private detective operation….though that would be a funny idea for a skit… What we learn about these various boats is valuable to those who hire us for consulting and if a patron has a specific request. Otherwise, it’ll be blurry photos and vague stories until we are get across the finish line.

    I know that if I sold my 20 year old Catana 431 (Fully outfitted for circumnavigations) at a fair price, it would probably cost me another 100k to 200k on top of the sale proceeds to buy something equivalent, albeit probably a bit newer. So I am holding on to my Catana and realizing how fortunate I am to have a decent built and fun sailing boat. Also committing to long term ownership as full time live aboard cruisers, it's easier to justify the continuous costs for upgrades.

    • @TheOKellys
      @TheOKellys 3 дні тому

      So if I understand you correctly, essentially what you are saying is that if you sell for what your boat is worth, you can’t purchase another boat for what it’s worth because it is overpriced. That scenario, if true, makes this market quite precarious, don’t you think? For prices to remain stable, both you and the (undefined) other seller require new market participants to maintain demand, or at least more demand than current production can satisfy. Do you think that new market participants are arriving right now? IDK….The perception, especially among smaller brands like Catana, is that there are more buyers than sellers. But is that true? I believe there are something like 7 471(/2)s for sale right now, with another one withdrawn from the market after a year of not selling. A lot of hose boats have been for sale for a long time. So, is there anything but a lack of selling pressure holding asking prices up? Makes me think of Wile E. Coyote, chasing after the Road Runner, who cruises around a sharp corner while poor old Wile E. misses the turn but takes a moment before recognizing he’s run off a cliff…holding a rock.

    Nice to see that you are getting “ buckets list travel experiences accomplished! A few thoughts. 1. Are you getting local surveyors to do a “ walk through” before flying to view the vessels? Sadly, many photos and descriptions are quite aged. 2. Thoughts on building, or having built, your own vessel. You have a pretty good idea of what you desire. A few of your friends are currently in that sphere. What are your thoughts, plus and minuses? 3. If you had unlimited resources, ie, you won the lottery, before retiring to the island you purchased in the San Juan Islands, what would you buy/build? 4. Next time you travel to Vancouver Island, let’s get you out fishing Chinook and Halibut!
