(Spring 2010) Today's market has created enormous financial opportunities for those who enjoy sailboats and recognize the value of timing.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! With your system I was able to pick up a beautiful S2 Yachts sloop for $4,000. My wife and I sailed all summer long, then sold her in October for $18,000 cash. You guys are the BEST! - CW, Boston, MA
Buying and selling sailboats for profit, or "flipping" as the insiders call it, has been going on for generations, ever since the first days of yachting. When it's done correctly, it can put food on your table, get the kids through college and still leave plenty of extra cash for early retirement -
"...My first break was a little 20' foot sloop that I picked up for $800, roughly a quarter of her actual market value. That was a long time ago, and what I didn't realize at the time was that Troubadour would become the launch-pad for an entire lifetime of buying, selling and trading sailboats... for profit and pleasure."
It had always been our dream to own a Nautor Swan, but we couldn't afford one (without selling the house!). Thanks to your course, we're now on our third Swan, a classic 48, which we paid cash for with the proceeds of the first two. We're planning a trip to Europe in the spring... I'll send you a postcard. Cheers!

The Sailboat Sales Manual 101 is a street-smart guide to buying and selling sailboats for profit. Presented as a self-contained do-it-yourself system, it's jam-packed with sources, tools, techniques and little known 'tricks of the trade' based on over 50 years' experience in the field -
Now in its Fourth Edition, the publication has been newly expanded and updated to address the specific requirements of today's sailboat market and what's happening right now, as well as an in-depth exposure to the new opportunities which have been created by these exact conditions.
"Be your own Broker and Banker."
In it's most basic form, each 'flip' can be used to fund the purchase of larger and more expensive yachts, or simply to finance your own cruising and sailing enjoyment along the way. The Sailboat Sales Manual 101 provides both traditional and contemporary tactics to create maximum profits every time you buy or sell:
BUYERS: How much should you pay for your next boat? Are you really getting the bottom-line, lowest possible price? How much equity are you leaving on the table? Should you listen to the price books, brokers and banks... or is there a better system for determining what she's really worth?
.
We'll show you over a dozen ways to find top-quality, popular production boats such as Cape Dory, Pearson, Island Packet, Nautor Swan, Beneteau, Catalina, Bristol, Pacific Seacraft and all the other brands for wholesale, about half their true market value.
And of course, these same wholesaling techniques can also be applied to lesser-known brands, vintage classics, custom and semi-custom yachts, multihulls, tugs, trawlers and just about any other vessel that offers value, utility and market appeal.
.
Plus, we also include a variety of techniques to buy these vessels with no money down, plus step-by-step instructions and paperwork to make it simple.
.
SELLERS: Face it - It's a jungle out there! The used boat market is a mess. Average sellers are getting stuck for six months to a year, trying to find their buyers. Many of these people keep lowering their prices in hopes of forcing a sale, but that doesn't work too well either.
The truth is, it's always been this way. Most owners (and even many professionals) are clueless when it comes to selling sailboats. Naturally, if you just do what all the other sellers are doing, you'll probably get the same results.
However, the Sailboat Sales Manual 101 puts you into an entirely different class of owner/seller. Instead of guessing, you'll know how to quickly identify, out-wit and out-maneuver the competition in your local sailboat market. Eliminate the lowball bids, tire-kickers and deadbeat offers, creating a steady stream of highly qualified, eager-to-pay-your-price BUYERS.
.
Find out exactly what it takes to sell your boat super fast, and for a much higher price than you (or anyone else) may have thought possible. All this with no brokers required, and no commissions to pay.
.
OWNERS: Most sailors have been conditioned to believe their vessels are a depreciating asset, and that it would be unrealistic to expect a return on monies invested toward maintenance and upgrades. But this is not always true, and you'll discover how in many cases, depreciation can be reversed on all but the very newest boats (+/- 5 years).
At the same time, the Sailboat Sales Manual 101 can also help you slash ownership expensesby 30-50% or more - and in some cases eliminate them altogether. Learn how to extract tremendous savings on slip fees, maintenance, taxes, boatyard labor rates and more.
.
TRADERS: Part-time or full-time, the Sailboat Sales Manual 101 delivers only the most profitable and proven strategies whereby you retain full control of your vessels and your results. It's not a do-nothing, get-rich-quick scheme but it's a whole lot safer than trying to play the stock market, and more consistently lucrative with average profits (ROI) of 100% or more per boat.
Say goodbye to needing 'luck on your side' and make money doing something you can control and enjoy at your own pace. Learn how to double your investment (or more) on each boat, and use your skills to create secure, long lasting wealth. Turn your passion for sailboats into a street-smart investment vehicle.
.
Discover how using each boat as a 'stepping stone' to pay for the next one can multiply your net worth exponentially... even if you were dirt poor and could only start with a thousand dollars -

"...And anyway, it sure beats punching a time clock for a living.
"I recently asked a yacht broker friend of mine what he thought I could get for an older 30' footer that I’d picked up for $6000. His reply was ‘whatever someone is willing to pay for it… probably $7000 to $10,000. It’s a soft market for the older boats,' he explained.
That might have been true, except that a couple weeks later I sold that same boat for $23,000 cash."
Money, Economics & Wealth
Wealth is not "lost"... It merely changes hands.
In times of economic uncertainty, wealth is not "lost"... it merely changes hands. As markets fluctuate and price volatility sends investors running for the hills, their "losses" become material gains for those who actually own and control the hard assets behind the paper instruments. These paper instruments include securities (stocks), bonds, and even home mortgages.
Today's market fluctuations are best viewed as a smokescreen which is facilitating the transfer of wealth...
In essence, what we call "money" is merely a representative value; a purchasing potential. But money is not wealth. Ownership and control of assets is wealth.
By understanding the sailboat market - who the players are and what they know as well as what they don't know - it opens up a whole new world of possibilities that are invisible to the rest of the buyers and sellers.
In its most basic form, the proceeds from each boat can be used to pay for the next one. At the same time, each vessel can help create enough excess capital for a serious retirement fund or cruising kitty that is safely backed by hard assets that remain in your own control, versus the paper-backed promises of today's governments, corporations and banks.
Our system is for anyone who enjoys sailboats and wants to modify their passion into a street-smart investment strategy. And if not as an investment, at least it can be used to buy or sell your own boat without losing ground.
As hard-asset investors, we pick up new equity when we buy and when we sell. The fact is, every time you buy or sell - even if it's just your own personal boat, somebody makes money on the transaction. Shouldn't it be you?..."
"I love it!! Having spent many years in the game myself, I thought I knew just about everything there was to know about buying and selling boats, but your book blew me away!
My only question is, where were you 30 years ago??" - J.M.

The Bottom Line.
Owning the Sailboat Sales Manual 101 doesn't mean that you have to buy and sell sailboats as a business. But if you're buying and selling your own boats anyway, and since money doesn't grow on trees, you shoulddecide foryourself:
If you’re a BUYER, what would it be worth to have this inside information guiding you at the negotiating table? What if you could buy your next boat for .50 cents on the dollar? What if you could use one boat as a stepping stone to generate cash for a larger, more expensive model? What if you could outfit and equip your new boat at true OEM cost, 40-60% off retail prices?
If you’re a SELLER, what would it be worth to have buyers lined up next week? What will it be worth for you to sell your boat for thousands of dollars more than you probably paid in the first place? What if you could eliminate months of having to pay unnecessary dockage, maintenance and insurance?
