Go for a ride in it in BAD weather. You will be glad you are in that and not anything else under 46ft.

I'm not saying its not a capable boat. I just can't see where the 60k is in it. You could buy a nice second hand cruiser for 60k if you looked hard enough. One where you could enjoy the ride in nice'ish weather and not have your fillings shaken out.

Have you bought this Dom? Seriously?

There are a few people that could have done with this type of "ferry" service to hand a few years ago. Bardsey Island is a small inhabited island off the coast of the Llyn Peninsular in North Wales. As it happened, one Christmas, a few of the islanders were visiting relatives on the mainland. The weather blew up real bad and it was 6 weeks before many of the families could return home again.

Your challenge, should you chose to accept it.........

(and yes, this would be my preferred boat to be in during any storm!!)

Uk....nice..ish weather???? Wel I would prefer to have a boat that I could go out in a F4 and it felt like a F1/2 that mens I can go out more and clock up more hours. It also means my business trips to Jersey dont have to be planned around the weather over the winter, I just pick a tide and go.

So what if you break down or something goes wrong, you would then put others lives at risk trying to get to you /forums/images/icons/wink.gif Remember it is a boat not a Guardian Angel you will be in, be realistic and don't think you are infalable, it will only be as good as the skipper, and the skipper will only be good if it performs as it should without problems. To deliberately go out in bad conditions when not absolutely necessary is foolish in my opinion, it is another matter if you are caught unawares in bad conditions because no doubt the boat could deal with it. Remember nature can be strange, and if you are thrown off the boat or knocked out you could be a gonner /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Ah see, now your moving the goal posts. Your going from 'pleasure' to 'work'. I would say 'proffesional', but erm..............

God Bless Dom, he was a nice chap really /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

1. Eternal Father, strong to save
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.

2. O Saviour, whose almighty word
the winds and waves submissive heard
who walkedst on the foaming deep,
and calm, amid its rage, didst sleep:
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.

3. O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
upon the waters dark and rude,
and bid their angry tumult cease,
and give, for wild confusion, peace;
O hear us when we cry to thee
for those in peril on the sea.

4. O Trinity of love and power,
our brethren shield in danger's hour;
from rock and tempest, fire and foe,
protect them wheresoe'er they go:
thus evermore shall rise to thee
glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

The day I take advice from you is the day I give up boating and that aint gonna happen! you know Jack about this boat and anything else so dont even try to give me advice or lecture me on safety. I boat in some of the most dangerous areas for tide and rocks and dont need safety lessons from you!

I aint stupid and know my limits so dont try to give me the holyier than thou rubbish as another excuse for putting up another post.
