The SECRET to DEALS on BOATS

Описание: Ever wondered how I actually search for boats online?

In this video, I take you behind the scenes and walk through my exact, step-by-step process for finding and evaluating sailboats online—what sites I use, how I filter results, what I ignore, and where red flags tend to hide.

My goal here isn’t to point you at a “good boat.”
It’s to teach you how and where to search, so you can make smart decisions on your own. Think of it as learning how to fish instead of being handed a fish.

If you’re boat shopping now—or think you will be in the future—this process will save you time, money, and a lot of false optimism.

📘 Be The Captain — Offshore Captain’s Field Manual
The ocean doesn’t offer do-overs. That’s why I wrote this book.

If you want the deeper framework behind how I evaluate boats—structure, rigs, systems, fatigue, and failure modes—it’s all laid out here.
