Buying a boat is easier said than done. And finding the right one isn’t that simple either. Thankfully, we had Michael Bach on our side when we bought our sailboat, Abide.

Michael joins me in this episode to share his story of becoming a broker which started out working in shipyards and racing. We then uncover the process we went through together of finding the right boat and arranging the purchase and works.

This episode is packed with surprising stories, professional expertise, and practical advice for anyone interested in sailing!

Highlights from this episode:

• Our broker Michael’s journey from boat racing to finding Abide.
• How Michael sniffs out the duds when looking for boats for his clients.
• Who is the typical boat owner?
• How the boat buying process works.
• How COVID prompted us (and many others) to sail more.
