After 50, the most dangerous boats aren’t the obvious disasters.
They’re the ones that look perfect at first — clean surveys, good layouts, solid reputations — and then quietly turn into long-term money traps.

In this video, we break down 10 sailboats that often feel like the “right choice” for older owners, but become expensive, stressful, and difficult to exit over time — especially as insurance rules tighten and maintenance costs rise in 2026.

This isn’t about bad boats.
It’s about design decisions, system complexity, and ownership realities that compound year after year.

We’ll cover:

Why some boats age poorly after 50

Hidden maintenance and insurance traps

Designs that look right on day one but drain time, money, and energy later

What to watch for before you buy

If you’re simplifying, downsizing, or buying with longevity in mind, this video will help you avoid costly mistakes that don’t show up on the dock.
