Older sailboats weren’t perfect.
But many had design features that quietly reduced risk, simplified ownership, and made offshore problems easier to manage.

In this video, we look at 10 lost or uncommon features that helped older boats earn a “bulletproof” reputation — not because they were indestructible, but because they were simpler, more accessible, and easier to understand when something went wrong.

For sailors after 55, these details matter more than ever.
Less system complexity. Better access for inspection. Fewer hidden failures. More predictable behavior in heavy weather.

This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s a practical look at which older design decisions still make sense — especially if you value longevity, insurability, and lower stress over trend-driven upgrades.

If you’re buying, refitting, or comparing older and newer designs, these “lost” features may change how you evaluate toughness.
