Ep 5 Choose the Right Sailboat to Live On... All the Nitty Gritty Details
People make mistakes when choosing the right sailboat to buy mostly out of ignorance. They watch a bunch of YouTube videos, fall in love with the idea of living aboard a certain style of boat, and start looking without having a good understanding of the nitty gritty details that will really matter once it's theirs and they start living on it. By the time they know what features actually matter to them, it's too late.
Our goal is to give you a list of features and considerations that you can explore in greater detail. Then you can make a list of which features are important for your situation so you can make better decisions as you move forward with finding your dream boat.
We look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions for future episodes.
Follow us on YouTube for our real life adventures on our 1981 Morgan 462.

Customer Reviews
So Easy to Listen To!
Todd and Tammy are inspiring and very easy to listen to in this podcast. They have a comfortable, relaxed conversational style and they are a great ‘talking team’ to boot (meaning, neither one overpowers the other, they both contribute equally, and their interactions are genuine, not “scripted.”)
I have previously only sporadically watched their YouTube channel, but now, after listening to all of their available podcast episodes, I’m eager to binge their videos too!
If you’re looking for a podcast to fire up your adventurous side, you’ve come to the right place.
