The First Boat Decision That Quietly Ruins Beginners

This video isn’t about catamarans or monohulls. It’s about the first decision that quietly traps beginners before they ever gain real experience: commitment without reversibility. Early commitment feels productive. It feels like progress. But when you lock in emotionally, financially, or socially before you truly understand what you want, changing course becomes expensive. In this video, I break down: • Why early commitment creates false confidence • How emotional lock-in changes your thinking • Why resale friction matters more than beginners realize • And why reversible decisions beat “being right” early If you disagree, that’s a good thing. Explain why commitment worked for you and where you think I’m wrong. This channel isn’t about telling you what to buy. It’s about helping you avoid mistakes that don’t feel like mistakes until later. #SailingLife #FirstBoat #Liveaboard #SailingBeginners #BoatBuying #SailboatLife #Minimalism #DecisionMaking #LearningCurve
