A Swedish Sailboat SENSATION! This Vindo 40 is a STUNNER at $26,500. Full tour [off market]

The Vindo 40, designed by Carl Andersson, was an extremely successful boat with 850 built between 1970 and 1982. This Vindo 40 has been owned and loving maintained for the past three years and sailed locally on the coast of Maine where she has spent a good part of her life, hailing out of Camden. She has wintered indoors and was repowered in 2004 with a new Westerbeke that has less than 250 hrs on it! That is amazing. A solid, comfortable boat, she would be ideal for a solo sailor, a couple, or a small family. And she would be ideal for day trips, weekending, or coastal cruising - and she will turn heads wherever she goes. She is a stunner!

The ASKING price is: [OFF MARKET. The seller decided to keep her, which we think is great!!!]

We LOVED this boat and we hope you do, too.

And, as always, we have no financial interest in this vessel.

Thanks for watching and get busy sailing or get busy trying!

Gosh what a find. Sailing Magic Carpet had a Vindo 28 and I've always liked them since watching that channel. I love nice woodwork on a boat, I guess that's why I like Dory's, Vindo's, Baba's etc.Thank's guys as usual :)

beautiful boat. thanks for showing it to us.

She's perfect for my wife and I, cruising the Maine coat this summer. What a yard find and at this price a real steal.

I used to own a 1975 Vindo 40 and they are a beautiful, well-designed and built sailboat. I always thought mine was like a piece of fine furniture that could stand up to rough weather like a champ. The main issue with such a boat relates to rot of that beautiful exterior wood.

I really love this yard find. I can definitely picture myself in it enjoying Sweden's coast and back channels. Great job showcasing this beauty.

[CharlieStrout]

Another great find. Thanks for another great episode!

Great looking boat. Thx for the tour. Woodworking looks amazing.

[vincentmiceli]

Beautiful. You do such a fantastic job finding these gems. As you said, a very fine boat for a solo sailor or small family

[judsonquiaoit]

Your in a class, a very charming place. Sincere, plus fun and entertaining.. And also extremely informative... Thank you....

[jackchamberlain]

There are a few other youtube videos out there on the Vindo 40 ( Capt Q and Magic Carpet), yours is the most informative and the best look-through the whole boat. These are great boats and this one is in great shape and great price.

Very, very pretty boat. Now if I could only get my wife on a boat. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[newfiescreech]

Beautiful boat, I could smell the oiled wood and varnish through the screen!

[jamesflake]

Full keel in the thumbnail, you have my full attention!

Great boat ... obviously well kept. A very nice coastal cruiser for the price with a nice sail assortment. It's a shame that we seldom see any of Vindo's larger offerings on this side of the Atlantic like the 50, 65, or 90. Their sailboat data numbers are very impressive. I find it strange that it is always the 30 and 40 models that seem to be available on the American market -- i guess it speaks to their seaworthiness!!! There is a 45 for sale currently in Salem, Ma ... it might be interesting to do a follow up episode comparing the two -- different layout down below, wider beam, aft cabin, larger displacement, etc. Not sure how far the trip would be to get down and look at it though ... just a thought. Great episode!

My wife and I al.ost bought a Vindo way back at an Annapolis Sailboat show when it was first shown. We oy decided not to because it was too much wood to.take care of for our limited time available. Beautiful boat still!

@5:28, "...he has too many boats."
😂😂aww, that poor bastid😂😂
@9:40, Not Jagger, but Bowie, for sure😎
@14:16, Protecting Formica with mahogany? Truly, the world is upside down!😂😂
GREAT find, guys. BEAUTIFUL boat.

[Mark-abc]

Great video guys, very informative and entertaining at the same time. You’re well on your way to fill up the big void left by Capt Q’s retirement. All that’s missing now is the can of Dinty Moore beef stew 😄

I had a Yankee 38. All the S&S boats of the era had beautiful tumble-home. Swans) 38-43), Tartan 41 & Catalina 38 mkI was made with Yankees hull molds

[todddunn]

Vindo built a nice boat and that is a good example indeed. A friend had one and it was a very nice boat. His was 34' LOA so likely the Vindo 45.

Have you been out sailing yet? We have had two nice sails so far.

[davidparadis]

Its got a lot of room inside...i wasnt expecting that
