Moving onto a free sailboat- bayfield 29ft

thank you to the previous owner......... your generosity made a big difference in Sams future --- to have the capability to give is a wonderful thing. Merry Christmas!

Congrats Sam you made it! You look just like Shaggy from Scooby Doo! 🙂

Sam's newfound skill seems to be getting free boats

As a previous Bayfield owner for 17 years I can safely say she never let me down. The Gozzards build an amazing boat. You are going to learn to trust her as much as you trusted the "Herring". Just a tip, my loose tiller was a simple shaft key failure. Sail on Sam, we are all crewing with you in our minds.

My favorite part of the video was the sponsored content. I think I would be exactly the same, not super comfortable with saying what they want me to say in the way they want me to say it. And the Easter egg for anybody reading this is to take a look at the description. He copy and pasted the text they sent him including the stuff that wasn't meant to be pasted. I love it!

Boat people are good people. Giving an useful boat away to Sam who will use it to make new adventures for all us to enjoy.

Sam is always the optimist sailor. Can’t wait till next video!

What an increadable offer from previous owner. Such generosity is awsome. I am sure he will take great pleasure watching Sam's videos and knowing his old boat is in good hands and sailing to distant horizons. Regards from South Africa

Hi Sam, I don't get to watch a whole lot of videos but I try to catch up on you once in awhile. I am hoping that your last surgery was a complete success because that was the one that got me started watching your building and sailing videos. So many people would feel completely handicapped, but not you, you go and sail alone to Hawaii. Hmmm..... I am not a water person, kayaking a class2 and less river is about as far as I go, but you are a true inspiration because of how you simply move forward in your life. May you always be safe and have peace Sam. I was young once and rode dirt bikes out in the mountains alone a lot. My mom would have fits, so I would always kiss her and hug her and tell her, If once I don't come back, you have to remember I was doing what I love the most when I got called home. I will abide the same for you Sam. For now I will watch what I can of your travels.

Awesome, nice to see good people catching a decent break.

I love your attitude. I swear the planet could blow up and you wouldn't get upset, you would just ride your piece through space and enjoy the trip. 🙂

Congrats on the find and thanks to the previous owner for his generosity!

Your sailing videos were one of the biggest inspirations for getting a boat of my own. As it turns out, I bought a Bayfield 32 myself in 2021, and I love it. They built these babies like tanks. Have fun with yours!

Keel masts are best, especially if you run aground and need to come off the shoal broadside from towing at the top of the mast. And the mast is always less likely to snap off when it's in the keel. Nice freebie.

I think this is a really great thing to do for the owner. He or she will get to see their old boat sail all the time on YouTube! And giving it to someone that will use it well and take care of it.

That’s awesome! Congrats on the new boat. I hope to see you there sometime. I go to the park at that marina to walk and fish quite often. Can’t wait for more videos with the new boat and see how you set her up. And definitely a thank you to the previous owner’s generosity. Very cool

Gonna be a great project with loads of vlog content from New adventures, Sam. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 matey.

I love stuff like this! Been following the channel for awhile and when you take a look at the boat, you might see it in rough condition but there's so much potential. Cleaning, boat projects, moving your own stuff and your own gear on board, figuring out what needs working on, I don't own a boat yet but I swear that half the fun would be projects and prepping! I love the whole idea of following the dream on a budget! It shows it can be done with determination and enginuity.

Thanks for sharing Sam. Never let the adventures stop. I'm dealing with negative temp's snow and ice but I still love it. Forward. Enjoyed the video.

So excited about you starting this new adventure.
