1000% based.

if you an afford to own and maintain one 30ft cruiser can go around the world!

I grew up sailing with my grandparents and wanted to get into it as an adult. It seems difficult to get started in, any advice? I was thinking of taking power/sail squadron courses.

i don“t have that kind of money

yeah get a small hobycat dingy kinda boat and fuck around on a lake like all day long - like a 12ft sail boat with some basic ropes and rigging. fucka round until you can do it in your sleep and your body actually feels the unison between rudder sail and wind - its like muscle memory.

once you know this and are comfy playing on a outboard motor boat - graduate to a 26ft yacht. this handles almost the same as 12ft-18ft

its heavier but the basics are the same and everything a bit slowed down because its less responsive so yeah.

after 26 ft i would get a 30ft-34ft

this size averages around 7 MPH - or around 150 miles per day in average winds.

I was going to, then my dad gave me a Chris Craft Commander 42, shame I can't use it until April when I get another wet slip.

$6000 for a rotten 30ft, stop making excuses Hans

Need to factor in .aintrnance and parts.

>$6000 for boat
>$30000 in new parts
>$10000 in maintenance

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

And soon I will be free

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me

And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity

Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.

OP might be onto something here. Sailing is a HUGE part of white mans history, and still too this day more white men own boats and sail than any other race, except maybe the chinks in their little wooden fish boats. Point is, this is definitely something we can consolidate as a ethnic activity. Imagine when SHTF scenario goes down in California, 90% of the people fleeing on boats will be white. They need people with our outlook there at sea when it happens.

People who lived on the Thames in boats escaped the plague of 1665.

Advice, if you have a family and it's hard to put the food on the table don't get a boat. Not a bad thing for a single man with a decent job to get. But the possibilities are endless with a sailboat. You going to have to put probably a couple thousand dollars into a boat you buy 4 bottom paint insurance initial dock fees but it's well worth it. It's a luxury prep vehicle.

Yep. A sailboat is exactly what I need here.

If you live on it full time and anchor it maybe, if you dock it costs a lot

boats can be boarded and searched at any time on the water. you call that freedom water slave?

>Me
I was married about six months ago. Found out she was cheating and had our kid with another guy. Divorced, no financial burden from it. All of a sudden I have a lot of money and free time and good job. I'm currently fixing up a coastal cottage to have as a rental property. After that I'm buying a 35 footer, live on it for a while while I save money/fix it up.
Oh, and I have extensive maritime training and professional experience. I'll see you dicks out there when SHTF

A 35'er docked in the heart of the biggest town in my state for a full year will run $6000. That's much less than half the rent you would pay for a similar location in town

Granted, it's probably more expensive where you're at. Loicenses, and all.

BASED cuck

Yeah, it's not cool being actually cuckolded while you're out at sea for half your life, and working your ass off while home to make a good home and life for your wife and future family. I left immediately after she told me. I took the money, made her sign away any rights to support. I've tried dating again, but either have trust issues or have just been totally blackpilled on women. A few days ago I started coming out of a monthlong depression about it all, and found comfort in the thought of doing my own thing. I'll fix up this house, get my boat, disregard women. I'm thirty one and spent the last ten years checking off the goals of life: Gf, wife, house, kid. Been there, done that. Time for some me time.

I traveled a lot in my early 20s. Had a blast. But on recent trips I don't seem to have the same spark from when I once traveled. It started to happen a bit after smart phones came out and then really set in after Instagram and sites like that took off. There is no adventure or freedom anymore, hoards of travelers, most of the time Chinese holding up there phones taking selfies on their big adventure wile they get cattled into tour buses. Even getting off a plane at a cool destination feels like this now.

Years ago I saw a older couple pull up on their dingy on this in south east asia. They had their sail boat anchored away from the beach. No tourism bullshit, came on to dry land to get a few items, a nice meal then off they went.

One day...

>Can't outrun pirates
Be the pirate

Commanders are the most durable fiberglass cruisers ever

>Been there, done that.
Not bad. You had all that life experience and still have your youth

Yeah. If I could snap my fingers and go back and have everything be normal, ie not a cheating cuntwhore of a wife, I would. On to the next thing.

>Experiences over things

That is such bullshit.

I live in a tiny condo (that I fully own), drive a jap shitbox and do dividend stock investing. The thrill of receiving dividend payments trumps getting on some rickety boat getting prune skin.

Traveling is pointless, people don't even enjoy it, yet its something they feel compelled to do.

I have a 32' diesel ketch, pay moorage every month. Have done a lot of work on it, is fully equipped for crossing oceans.

You do you, man. We're both gonna die at the end.

fuck the ocean

I got out of a 10-year relationship. I was pretty bummed out thought that we would be able to be together. Silver Lining is I would have never got the boat had I stayed with her. doing most of the work myself on the boat it's a labor of love. You are a country to yourself, and Island floating out in the ocean. Yeah there are risks involved. Stay protected. Spend money on good navigational equipment. But the world is yours.

So anybody in the Puget Sound area here want to make a yacht club?

>31
Your at the perfect age to find a young wife after some self improvement.

Sailboats are just floating lighting rods

Lol. If that were true we'd never have left shore.

this is my goal actually! Im trying to figure how to do this in the bay area... seems harder and harder to find liveaboard, any tips?

You mean liveaboard mooorage?

yeah, its really tough to find around here, seems like you have to know someone...

Same here in my city. My moorage is liveaboard but I have a house to live in nearby. In the city's marina they allow liveaboards but charge extra. You can also buy your own slip but that is pricey.

Two boats two marinas. Or find a marina that offers liveaboard ,which they do in the Bay Area. Scour Craigslist. Get a survey on potential boat. I'm still in a house but will make the jump soon.

Lacey here.

living on a sailboat is the most redpill thing you can do these days.

indeed

Cheaper than owning a house/renting.

I'm in Anacortes, prime boat territory.

for sure on a survey... shit, I've looked at about 6 or 7 boats in the "under 15k area" all were pieces of shit that had been sitting for years with owners that were firm as shit on price so i dunno

>Get a second job to pay for constant repairs and boat slip

This user knows.

Selling my 35' motorsailor project for $5K to a young couple, it's needing a lot of work but is solid. You can get good deals on CL or marina auctions for boats with delinquent moorage.

lol so you know what other people truly feel? please tell me moar user

I'd like to but 'there is a saying that gypsies can't swim (probably a curse or something) so I wouldn't take my chances

I have cash, I should just fucking talk to some harbor masters about those delinquent boats, im a handy guy, what size boat for a man and his dog? 36'+?

How do I fix the mast of a 1964 Columbia Challenger? HALP

Yeah you need 35'+ to be comfy. Talking to the harbor masters is legit.

Splice it.

You could get away with a 30', the bigger it is the more comfortable, obviously.

If you got man skills. You have tools you have a job. You can refurbish anything. As long as you have a dry storage, a trailer, and allowed to do the work. This is old school man shit.

I have shit loads of tools thats part of the problem, I'd have to down size majorly to pull it off, like I have three roll aways full of tools...

but it's broken in half twice....

you dumb sub-zero nigger, you do realize boats have these things, we're not talking about a fucking inner tube

Get a storage unit for tools.

I already have one... (((they))) just raised my rent actually, bait and switch style... started at $131 with a "free"month... year and half later its $214

Get a new mast an re-rig the boat. Sailboat Wrecking Yard up in The Blaine Wa. area has used masts.

Damn.

that sounds expensive as fuck... although I have seen around here in the bay area, there are DIY dry docks... lotta fuckin riff raff with sailboats around here

hah pretty much my life story, had a Hobie hawk as a kid I learnt the basics on the local lake, and dad gave me his 17 catamaran I 'raced' for fun for a few years and now years later I have a 26fter I only took out once or twice before doing a bit of work on, i'm getting there.

Tweakers ruin everything.

hm... k thanks

Better off cutting up the boat and getting one that's complete tbqh.

Also go to boat yards at end of summer with cash. Often people dont want to pay storage so they will let boats go for short money.

Join a cheap yc and make boat friends. They often can guide you to deals or advice on what to buy.

30 is needed to entertain....but once you get over 32 solo sailing becomes tougher

hmmm thats good to know... im a fuckin loner so its just me and dog

I never thought I'd say this, especially to a leaf, but are you me?

I did a worldwide tour in around '08 - I was 22 (after I graduated university). 6 months in S. America, 3 months in Europe, 2 months in Asia, 1 month in Australia.

I know travel for work internationally and fuck, it sucks (except for the food when I find local delicacies). There's nothing like seeing a world wonder and have some dumb chink or Brazilian take a photo of something I have dreamt to see, and then proceed to take a selfie and stand in the same spot for 10 minutes uploading the photo to Instagram.

My gf was a professional sailor off Brittany in France and I grew up sailing so our retirement plan if we wed, will be to buy a house in Madiera and sail the world.

Bay area city governments are intentionally killing liveaboards. They don't like people who can avoid property taxes living cheaply and they think people living on boats lowers shoreline values.
I lived for a number of years down in the south bay on my boat. Got too tough to find a spot.

You can get sailboats wicked cheap...just be aware (like any boat) you are always fixing shit. Just make a boat friend that knows what is good and what is junk

Also...you can do a 26 or so...but those are too tight for me personally

boats are an endless money sink

blow boaters are the most insufferable mega faggots on the planet.

Boats in the past were made of wood. The mast and all. Today the use steel or iron. I've seen it actual happen. Not to mention if a big enough wave comes by it can completely knock your shit over leaving you ship upsidedown

No one said it was.

Its a hobby and a lifestyle for me. Gotta have something to enjoy in life.

Boating can be very affordable. Met lots of great people and learned quite a bit.

Lol. You're a non-sailor I can tell. My boat has a 5,000lb keel, it cannot be upside down.

We can measure the curvature and know that your ice wall isn't true.

>Be free.
What is docking fees as high as rent for $1000, Alex.

I declare myself Commodore of /pol YC - Boston Harbor Chapter

Never let ANYONE tell you a boat is a good deal or saving money. Even if you live on it. Yes 500 a month sounds like cheap rent but there are other costs. Haulouts. Dives to replace zincs. Bottom paint jobs. Epoxy coats. Pumpouts of sewage. Then they usually nickle and dime you on shit like laundry, parking, the storage unit you need for your tools.

In the end it all adds up and it's not that great of a deal. And that's assuming nothing really breaks and you don't even want to sail it much.

I have a delusional friend who still lives on his sailboat (i sold mine). He's probably put 100k into the thing over 5 years in addition to slip fees.

Let's make a fleet?

its a meme idea. Better to move to a irrelevant isolated country (check my flag).
