Thanks so much - really useful advice there :-)

Hi Gang, I need to clean my 28ft sailing boat that has been laid up for a few years. I've read lots of posts and article online and have become a bit confused as there lots of differing opinion on there, so looking to establish a definitive plan to tackle the dirt, does the below seems like a...

The CL22 actually looks quite good. Not trailerable but hits the other marks well. Something to research. Thanks all all the input guys.

Sorry to clarify I only need sleeping room for 2. I would need sitting room for 4 on a short day trip.

Thanks for the responses guys, very much appreciated. I looked at a Orkney Pilothouse and they seem good, is camping on one a possibility? Unfortunately the starfish is too large and expensive, I'll forego the accommodation to keep costs and size down. I think I'd like to be ideally less...
