⛵️ Stop Looking for the Perfect Boat. Start Looking for the Right Boat.
Great seminar this week at Pensacola Beach Yacht Club talking about one of my favorite subjects:
How do you actually choose the right boat?
We covered everything from how to buy a boat and new vs. pre-owned, to surveys, insurance, maintenance, ownership costs, and what to look for when evaluating a boat.
And, of course…
Monohull vs. multihull.
That was an easy one... 😉😂
We also took a closer look at Dragonfly, Seawind, and Corsair and what makes each platform unique.
But perhaps the biggest takeaway was this:
Don’t Overthink It.
I’ve watched people spend years searching for the perfect boat.
Here’s the reality:
The perfect boat doesn’t exist. The perfect boat is the one you are on at that time!
Every boat is a compromise.
The perfect layout might have the wrong price.
The perfect price might have the wrong equipment.
The perfect boat might be 1,000 miles away.
And the boat you’re waiting for might show up five years after you started looking.
At some point, you’ve got to make a decision.
Because the goal isn’t to own the perfect boat.
The goal is to go sailing. 🌊⛵️
So figure out what you want to do, get out there and sail the boats you’re considering, ask a lot of questions, get good professional advice, inspect carefully, understand the true cost of ownership…
…and then go sailing.
Life is short.
Don’t spend it sitting on the dock waiting for the perfect boat.
Thanks to everyone who joined us at Pensacola Beach Yacht Club for a great discussion!
See you on the water. 🤙⛵️
