Long time watcher first time commenter. I bought a 1985 Nauticat 33 in 2017. Grew up sailing in Hawaii and the pacific. lived in California for 20 years but now I’m living in Vermont. I was feeling somewhat landlocked and really wanted to get out on the water. I found a one owner Nauticat 33 in excellent shape and brought it down to VT from Quebec City. I am in love with the pilot house. The boat is tough, capable and a great performer for it’s size. Its like a tardis, bigger on the inside. It had been completely redone from the deck down when I bought it and I have enjoyed it so much that I have it back up in Quebec this winter getting all new rigging, navigation and safety systems. Taking it out the ST Lawrence to the south coast of Newfoundland in the spring and down to Portland Maine. I’m excited to see what it can do on a larger body of water. There is an active community of Nauticat devotees in Europe and the 33 seems to thrive in the North and Baltic seas as well as the English Channel and the bay of Biscay. I am thinking it will feel right at home on the western side of the Atlantic. Making my lists, checking them twice and getting very excited for a spring sail.

Be still my heart. Captain Q has returned and with no less than a Nauticat. Have I died and gone to heaven? For myself this reminds me of a Fisher except for the stancheons vs gunwhale prortection. If I had a North Atlantic passage to make, both boats would be in my wheelhouse so to speak. Just as you said fireplace I was wondering if you could read minds as well. There is a Canadian outfit that makes wall mounted ones, around 11"" by 10 which would do a wonderful job here as an add on. I love the layout of this boat and no gentleman sails to windward anyways. Yes it is old school but what a school. A retired couple could make this a wonderful home without a heart attack. 63 degrees and sunny in Indiana today so it shocks me winter is still hovering over New England. I do go on but this whole episode has been the best of them all. All that's left is for Ran Day's neighbor to offer a tour of the Hans Christian and I can say my life was complete. Love you guys and long may the channel forage forward. Fair winds and following seas.

Happy to see a Nauticat 33. Very close friends of my parents, almost family actualy, had one and I know this model quite well. A realy comfortable and well built boat. I suspect the sitting instalation at the exterior helm is an add-on and my parents' friends' nauticat33 had a teak deck. On the sailing subject I confirm, she's definitely not a thoroughbred 😁, she's a MOTOR-sailer, 70% motor, 30% sail but I enjoyed to be on her, even if for the "sailing emotions" the true sailboat of my parents had my preference.

Are the boatyard prices you mentioned regular for US? It seems rediculously (!) high comparing with Netherlands, where I live. 3k for hauling out the boat and demasting, 1,5k to MOVE the boat indoors - that's 4,5k in total for getting the boat on land. I never thought it could be THAT costly anywhere in the world. I'd pay something at least 3-4 times less in Europe and at least 2 times less in UK.

How bout get rid of the single seat on starboard side and put in that wood stove. Next, put in a pilot berth along the back wall...up high enough to avoid the companionway. Probably need smaller windows back there, but I think it would be worth the trade. Aloha 🤙

With only $3,000 worth of parts needed and $18,000 worth of labor I'm thinking that a determined owner could make her seaworthy for a much more modest price than the boatyard wants. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
