10 Sailboats Built Like TANKS
These boats are not weekend toys. They are battle wagons. In this video, we tour 10 Sailboats Built Like TANKS—vessels designed to shrug off storms, survive groundings, and keep you safe when the ocean throws a tantrum. From legendary full-keel cruisers to aluminum expedition yachts, we reveal the toughest hulls ever built. We cover: The "Wetsnail": Westsail 32 (Heavy, slow, and nearly indestructible). The Steel Survivor: Bruce Roberts 43 (DIY-friendly and tough as nails). The High-Latitude Beast: Garcia Exploration 45 (Aluminum hull built for ice). The Pocket Tank: Albin Vega 27 (Small, affordable, and ocean-proven). The Legend: Joshua 40 (Made famous by Bernard Moitessier). If you want a boat that cares more about survival than paint scratches, this list is for you. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: Battle Wagons of the Sea 00:38 1. Westsail 32 01:35 2.
