Hell of a lot of boat for £8k

Camping on water

There could only be one name for a boat like that - Spartan........

 

[30boat]

No,thanks.
There was a rather large Dutch Wharram in Culatra last year They cooked on an open fire on deck.It's a way of doing things that's not for me.

If it has been maintained to a good standard its a good price. We had a Pahi 31 for 7 years, sailed really well including to windward. Yes it will be Spartan inside, but you will never fall out of the reasonable sized bunk. Also it is open bridgedeck so you will be at one with the elements, fine on a good summer's day otherwise good foulies will be a must.

Not for me either. That Warram in Culatra...........was it yellow & covered in plants & veggies ?

 

[Eyore]

It will be nice when its finished

 

[ganter]

It just doesn't say Sea to me. It says Caravan without wheels.

My Mk 11 Silhouette was better fitted out 40 yrs ago,by me

 

[Swanrad2]

Sailed a 21 years ago - sailed beautifully. That was spartan, but the fun!
Cross an ocean as well, for £8k. Where's the sense of adventure gone ?

No.it's white and tatty.Still there I believe.

 

[Moonshining]

It seems to be the nautical equivalent of a recumbant bicycle. Different and generally more uncomfortable and awkward than a conventional boat with a small but devoted following.

I'm probably missing something in both cases, but I don't see the attraction.

 

[TQA]

You could get a Centaur for 1/2 the money.

Might even have a diesel instead of an OB.

In re cooking on deck, Senegalese fishermen used to eat fish and rice cooked over a car wheel full of sand soaked in petrol. Cheap an cheerful.

I am going to have to try that. So simple it is ingenious

Can't imagine all those aromatic hydrocarbons are going to do too much for the taste of the fish. Or your health.
