Tristram Coburn has been sailing since the age of seven and has spent a lifetime on the water teaching, racing, and delivering sailboats along the East Coast and throughout the Caribbean. He has taught sailing in both Maine and Connecticut, raced extensively in the Gulf of Maine, Long Island Sound, and the Mid-Atlantic and completed offshore deliveries to and from the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. Several years ago he and two lifelong friends purchased a Morgan 382 and, after discovering just how much fun ownership could be—much to the dismay of their wives—later added a Morgan 384 to the fleet. What began as a lark to help offset boating expenses grew into the popular YouTube channel BoatFools Sailing, which now has more than 23,000 subscribers and reaches over 100,000 viewers a month. With a mission to get more people sailing and keep older sailboats out of landfills, Tristram and his two pals have spent the past three years exploring more than 100 sailboats of all types and conditions and have helped many of these older classics find new homes. Through BoatFools Sailing, he also brings unique exposure to well-presented listings by introducing interesting boats to a large and engaged audience of active sailors. Combined with his 22 years of professional real estate appraisal experience, yacht brokerage is a natural extension of his work—helping sailors recognize which boats are truly worth saving and setting back out to sea.
