An introduction to and sign up for The BoatFools Report!

Ahoy, BoatFools Crew!

Welcome aboard The BoatFools Report—your guide to sailboats for the rest of us! From affordable classics to hidden gems, we dive into market trends, share budget-friendly insights, and bring you captivating nautical tales. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or dreaming of owning your first, second, or third boat, we’re here to help you navigate a world of sailboats that won’t break the bank.

We understand this newsletter comes with a cost (it’s literally the lowest price Substack allows!), and we deeply appreciate your support. If you’re a current paid Patreon member, you’ll automatically receive The BoatFools Report. New members who prefer supporting us on Patreon can also enjoy the newsletter as part of their membership.

Your support makes a big difference. It allows us to take our show beyond Maine, profiling boats in a wider range of locations and delivering even more value to you. We’re committed to making your investment worthwhile by providing valuable content, actionable insights, and a unique perspective on the sailboat market.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

⚓ Sailboat Showcase: We’ll spotlight one standout sailboat on the market every month, proving you don’t need a mega-yacht budget to own a dream-worthy vessel. We’ll dig deep and look at pricing, availability, and options.
⚓ The BoatFools Market Report: Think of it as the quasi-Kelley Blue Book for sailboats! Each month, you’ll have access to our recent sales data of boats we have profiled, insights on marketing times, our rating system, and analysis to help you make smarter decisions whether you’re buying, selling, or just dreaming.

⚓ All Things Sailing: From ownership tips to leads on great stories, we’ll dive deep into the art of sailing with our signature blend of humor, expertise, and passion.

This is your chance to join us—Canadian Ken, Tris, and Josh—as we bring over 100 years of combined sailing experience to your inbox. Broadcasting from the picturesque shores of Maine we aim to inspire and inform while keeping things fun and lighthearted.

We’re excited to have you along for the ride as we build this community of sailors, dreamers, and adventurers. Whether you’re here for the data, the dream, or just the laughs, you’ve found your people.

So grab your life jacket, adjust your sails, and join us on this voyage.

Welcome to the crew!
