Blue water cruising must haves

[jimi]

I notice that a blue water cruiser for sale "headline" lists the following items:

"Oak CD rack that holds 200 CD's, wine bottle holder, knife and detergent rack"

what does this tell you about the seller, I wonder ... hmmm ...

 

[LaurenceK]

I would feel it more appropriate if it had a rack that held 200 wine bottles plus a cd holder .......

That he is usually pissed and listens to music while washing up his cutlery.
A fairly normal livaboard in other words.........

I would want to know who he was hoping to pick up and why?

I'd be concerned about the stability of the vessel with so many addtional comforts on board - presumably it has been tested?

 

[jimi]

I believe that the vessel in question has had full & satisfactory stability testing! What I want to know is, do the wee bears come with it cos they're not listed!

 

[ShipsWoofy]

It is not nice to refer to the owner that way!

 

[jimi]

I'd guess the owner disnae care what he's referred to as, as long as he sells his boat .. mind you I suspect a "wee bear" is probably one of this chappie's more complimentary soubriquets

Jimi, you're correct on all counts.

Ah, Billy!! I wonder if Norman still remembers his twin brother.

Norman is still hanging from the mast support and is as happy as ever.
