Average forum boat.

[Dellquay13]

These recent average YBW polls have confirmed to me, that just like in most things in life, I typically hover about a third of the way up from the bottom.

Then you are excelling at life .... a staff sergeant gave me some advice a long time ago, "never come first and never come last" ... been sticking to that as a life goal ever since.

So the most typical forumite would be a grumpy 71 year old with a 32 foot boat built in 2002.

Wishing they had a 44 footer built in 2023 based on the med and were 35 years old.

I can see why there is friction on the forum. At least i have the 32 footer.

Volunteer required, to crunch the numbers on the “How long have you owned your boat” thread. To give us the definitive forum profile.

And then there’s the whole question of cruising ground / home port….

What about me? Do I add my 3 together? I would have the second biggest. Angus would be the big cheese. I might start a new poll. How wide is your boat?

Fold your floats in and it should be the same footprint as your average modern fat-ar$ed AWB.

Fold your floats in! ..... I quite like that as an expression actually - a bit more boaty than Keep your hair on! , but only makes sense to Dragonfly owners.

Crunched all the numbers and as a broad indication .... the average forumite is 62 years old, and has a 32 ft boat built in 1990.

So Mr. YBW Average ... you look like this according to ChatGPT (which knows nothing about boats)...

I think I have met him

Presumably the newer the boat is, the less grubby the jacket is? Makes sense I guess.

33ft here (actually 34.5) and nearly 61 so I'm there or thereabouts.

 

[The Q]

Which boat?
The 96
The 16...
The 8..




The rowing boat is 96 inches, used least
The sailing mini keelboat is 16 ft and used most,
The motorboat is 9 yards, and i regard as a support boat for sailing..

The answer is in post #1

There is a poll running on boat age .... would be interesting to see what size range is typical. For those with multiple boats, pick the one you use the most.

We’re considerably smaller than a modern fat arse boat when folded.
