Qué cubre este vídeo
Stefan Heiberg and Oliwia travel from Luperon to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic to inspect a 35-foot Beneteau sailboat listed for $55,000.0:20 The vessel, named Shiraz, features in-mast furling and a large cockpit, but the couple finds the interior condition poor, citing degraded silicone, dull finishes, and significant maintenance requirements.2:30 Despite initial interest, they conclude the boat requires extensive repairs—estimated at $10,000 and six weeks of labor—and decide the asking price is too high.4:17 The search highlights the discrepancy between online boat listings and physical reality, as the couple notes the vessel’s actual state does not match the advertised photos.12:43 While they consider the Beneteau brand’s resale value and ease of maintenance, they remain undecided on the purchase after a test sail.18:24 The trip also involves navigating challenging local conditions in the Dominican Republic, including concerns regarding safety and infrastructure outside the marina.7:48
