Five brand names lose value faster than the rest of the used sailboat market, and it has almost nothing to do with build quality. I dug through asking prices, resale spreads, and yard invoices to find out why a fifteen-year-old "bargain" cruiser can quietly cost you more than the boat itself, and the answer starts with the word volume. In this video I walk through the real depreciation curve behind Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria, Catalina, and Hunter, why a discontinued factory can gut resale value overnight, and how a single line buried on page eleven of a survey turned one owner's eight-month-old purchase into a six-figure mistake. I also show you the fifteen-minute test you can run tonight, for free, using a strange fact about a Swedish boat from the seventies that almost never comes up for sale — and why the two brands that hold their price do it for reasons that have nothing to do with luck. ⚓ 🔧 True North Yachts exists so you find out what a sailboat really costs before you sign, not after the survey. #SecondHandSailboats #SailboatDepreciation #CruisingSailboats
