Not every sailboat that looks good on paper turns out to be a good choice later in life.

Many older sailors don’t regret sailing —
they regret the boat they chose.

In this video, we look at 7 sailboats that older sailors quietly regret buying — and why.
Not because these boats are poorly built, but because they demand too much: too much strength, too much maintenance, or too much compromise once age, stamina, and solo sailing become factors.

These regrets usually show up over time:

• Excessive physical workload
• Uncomfortable or unpredictable motion offshore
• Complex systems that fail when you least want them to
• Deck layouts that increase fatigue or risk of falls
• Designs that look appealing early, but become burdens later

This video continues our series focused on practical decision-making for sailors over 50, following earlier discussions on safe boat choices, risky modifications, affordable bluewater boats, and underrated designs.

There is no shaming here — only experience.
These lessons come from owners who learned the hard way, often after years of ownership.

If you’re:

• Sailing solo or short-handed
• Considering your next (or final) sailboat
• Planning retirement or long-distance cruising
• Trying to avoid expensive, exhausting mistakes

This video may help you make a calmer, safer decision.
