22-footer, thirty years old. Reduced to £10,000. Bargain.

That was pretty much my ploy with our current boat. It worked.

Well done you!

Just remember to double the price when you sell.

I seem to remember an article (PBO? David Harding?) pointing out that the Cox Master Mariner tended to fetch high prices as they were relatively rare and sought after.

Dylan has always said he fancies one of them for his Scottish jaunt...

So I (now) see from his blog - assuming, that is, that you are not referring to the new Nobel Laureate.

A Cox MM would be a bit light for Scottish offshore. I'd prefer a heavyweight like a CW or Fisher if it was a m/s you were after.

Quadruple.

I really must stop using irony with you Seajet!

I've lost count of the number of boats you've declared awful despite never sailing them - very few people would have that courage - and I hope you continue to do so. Your opinions presented as cast iron categorical facts are a forum institution.

The only irony about you is in your keely;

I never present anything as ' cast iron categorical facts ', just my personal opinons based on experience and the statistics of the boat in question, and sailing among them - if not on them, and I have managed to get on a fair few designs - I always make a point of sailing any boat I haven't tried before, do you ?

Something you should maybe try instead of having a go at others, why not try some different racing & cruising designs, from dinghies to yachts, so as to be able to offer a reasoned opinion yourself ?

 

[Otter]

I guess you're right

 

[Seajet]

I'll take that at face value and say thank you.

 

[Lucky Duck]

I'm intrigued - what boat have you sailed which have a series date of this decade?
