That's what I wanted to say as well.But they're 8.25m. Fantastic boat though!Albin vega
Could I suggest that the under 8 m might be a criteria you could review - there are lots of reasonably priced boats out there these days and your search might be more rewarding if you looked for well equipped low priced boats available locally rather than going for a specific make.Hi Guys,
I wondering if you can offer suggestions for a sailing boat which meets the following criteria:
This will be a third boat so unfortunately needs to be cheap to buy and maintain. I am looking a robust easily kept boat.
- Budget boat
- Under 8m
- Suitable for west coast Ireland & Scotland sailing for 2 large adults (both over 6 foot)
- cruising only
- comfortable
Many thanks.
The Contessa 26 is a great contender but the headroom is a lot less than 6’ I’m afraid.Folkboat, Folksong or Contessa 26.
The Folksong's headroom is derisory. Beautiful boat, though, and I rather fancied one until I discovered that I couldn't even sit upright in one.Folkboat, Folksong or Contessa 26.
Superb suggestion (V26 here!) but unlikely to be a budget buy, even now.Victoria 26 or 800
Coo. I'm pretty sure I saw that one based in Tobermory 30 years ago. I fell in love with the design at first sight and it was a real disappointment to find later on, when I actually had the money to buy one, that it was hopelessly impractical for me.A Folksong here, but I do reckon that your height criteria might present an issue.
Good luck though!
