The ONE Question That Changes Everything About Buying a Boat

Описание: Buying your first sailboat? There’s one question you must answer first—or you’ll end up with a boat that doesn’t fit your life at all.

Most people shop for boats by length, price, or brand. That’s how you end up with a floating compromise that quietly works against you every day.

In this video, I break down six real-world sailing archetypes—and exactly what kind of boat actually works for each. No sales fluff. No brochure fantasy. Just hard-earned lessons from 85,000 miles offshore and watching what actually sticks long-term.

This is about aligning the boat with the sailor—not the other way around.

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

If this video helped you clarify who you are as a sailor, the book goes deeper into judgment, decision-making, fatigue, leadership, and choosing boats and systems that actually support your goals offshore.
