so why did we buy a sailboat

why did you it was more cost efficient

in my book to buy a sailboat versus a

motorboat one you have secondary power

or primary power and it's on how you

want to look at it you have the sails so

you have some a few as I call it we and

wind power wind power and then you also

have diesel so if one isn't there you

always have the other so more so wind

than then using the motor

she is a 1973 41-foot Columbia Silvo so

we got new beginning from David yes

David in Port LaBelle Florida does my

math you found her $26,000 including a 8

foot fiberglass dinghy unsinkable yes

unsinkable dinghy boss boat it's a boss

boat company bought the manufacturer

that makes this thingy out so it's an

older version very very sturdy very

comfortable as well the biggest question

people are gonna have is why did we buy

a 41-foot Silvo versus a 35 37 foot

maybe even a 30 foot smaller cost less

easier to maneuver well first and

foremost if you watch the introduction

video you would have seen that we

essentially live in a fifth wheel for my

job

yes we were sitting in it right now

before we bought a new beginning when we

had the idea in our heads that we want

to get a sell boat we went to the Miami

Boat Show and looked at a couple

different designs couple different

layouts down inside and the interior the

sell boats and we got on a 30-foot 35

foot 40 45 I don't know if we actually

owned a 50 or not though but we walked

around and kind of felt the space and

realized

40 to 45 wasn't as high as we wanted

anything below 40 was just too small for

us and then when we have drew with us

too that's kind of why we also leaned in

that footage so the reason why it has to

be such a large boat is we wanted an

extra cabin we figured out that 40 to 45

foot was good

we had a certain price range I didn't

really want to spend over $30,000 so we

we want to make it comfortable for

everybody and so we we chose a 41 for

the boat up keeps a little bit more but

you know what go big just no big you

just dream it out go big don't don't

waste your time on something that you

regret later

so I would Nick so we're gonna get it

straight into it and you're bellator of

beginning enjoy

here she is here's a new beginning 41

foot from bow to stern

she is a center cockpit selbo which we

love feels like he gives us more deck

space and room in the cockpit

we do have a bimini top

the bow of the boat anchor Locker and

our v-berth hatch which is very huge

truth and climbing and out of it very

easily

[Music]

moving forward that is a hatch in the

center right there that goes down into

the salon you can see how big that

v-berth hatches salon hatch sent our

cockpit which I'm gonna put regular

cushions and Andrews camera-shy

our bimini top and we do have a mac pack

which is included with the bow which is

amazing keep our mainsail protected from

the Sun making the way back that blue

cover is a nap cabin hatch and then we

have a propane locker held two propane

bottles then our dinghy which drew won

the right to vote for the name it's a

little pig down through the companionway

looking down from the salon this is our

galley which is on the port side we do

have a two stovetop burner with an oven

plenty of storage behind the door to the

aft cabin it's a little pop-up extra

counter space we do have a fridge yay

walking into the aft cabin we have

plenty of storage here too so a great

thing about new beginning she has plenty

of storage to put our stuff it's pretty

spacious

[Music]

we have the sink that's in the aft for

the head and walking into the head which

does have a shower a little pocket

shower which is on the starboard side of

the bow and you walk up back into the

salon through the head into the nav

station which we do underneath that

bench right there we do have a freezer

which is another awesome feature that

David kept on the boat for us and then

our salon does have the folding pop-up

tables

one's more of a desk on the starboard

side plenty storage plenty of storage in

the salon as well making our way into

the v-berth take two steps down into it

and again plenty of storage

that vent right there is for our AC we

do have a mermaid air unit in our boat

the blows right there out into the salon

now onto IRC trial

hurry hurry

be quick

how much water's under the boat yeah so

see the nose of the Turner gotta look

off to you got to drive off to the sides

so you want to put the nose the center

of the boat

throughout we're here want to go okay

[Music]

as we did our C trial or I should say or

waterway trial we felt even more in love

with new beginning we couldn't wait to

start our adventures on her

[Music]

during our C trial we came across our

very first drawbridge and we quickly

learned that bridges and the Florida

waterways sometimes take forever it open

and forever and a little bit more and

just when you think they're about to

open they take a little bit longer

when the bridge finally opened we made

our way underneath it traveling a little

farther down the waterway before we turn

new beginning back around and headed

back to the docks ending our sea trial

when we got back to the docks David

showed Matt and how to raise and lower

the dinghy

[Music]

we'd like to thank David for selling us

a new beginning we know it was hard for

you to let her go but we promise to take

very good care of her and take her all

the blocks of sailing adventures thank
