    Jeanneau 409 or Dufour 405 for long range family cruising

    We had a Jeanneau 409 in Greece that was under charter in summer months. sailed well but very little storage for long term living. Definitely consider storage for all your stuff. Also the swimming platform always needed adjusting and the ladder, by that I mean moving the through bolt every few...

    Ionian advice

    Ionian advice

    Thanks for replies. Busy it is then so will just go with the flow or rather the wind....Kioni is a must, maybe Monday or Friday would be better or does it really not matter? We'll take line ashore anyway as we're always late. It will all be beautiful, I'm sure.

Trying to decide rough route dependent on weather of course.. Know area quite well but not been in...

    Flotilla Recommendation Wanted

    Been sailing a couple of times on flotilla in Sporades. More sheltered on South of islands but may be one or two stormbound days. Fantastic area and so beautiful. Would recommend highly.
