Boating rumpy requirements

Don't buy a cuddy cabined mini sports cruiser. By the time you crawl in and get organised, you're too knackered to think about doing anything. Not enough air volume for two inthere without the hatch being open anyway, which is problematic when anyone walking down the pontoon can see straight in the cabin.

Far better to be seen reading the good book with a saintly expression.

Ooh there goes me back again.

The Bayliner 1952 cuddy song:

Row row row your boat
gently in the steam,
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily;
waiting for the cream.

I meant Traxam pulled muscle cream you filthy minded hounds!
:D:D

Possibly, but you were subtle as usual and a number of options were possible, depending on one's persuasion.

My view remains, that sailing is one thing and that romance has very little place on board- the ladies appreciate romance and a boat provides little gentile opportunity
 
rumpty tumpty and sailing are great in theory. The fresh air, sunshine, exhilaration etc.
But it is difficult in reality when the other party is cold, wet and seasick.
Oh and not showering for 3 days and living on bacon sarnies and porridge seems to quench any amorous feelings - beats me why, I brushed my teeth.
Well that's my limited experience
It has been the chilling end to relationships and male optimism more often than not. Maybe I'm jaded by experience.
Then there was the romantic, midnight swim in a Scottish bay - thought my parts would drop off and behaved as if they had.
I'd face reality, stick with your imagination and get a boat for the fun of it

In that I am afraid I have to disagree.

We spend our anniversaries on the boat, and each year there is a themed evening onboard. I sacrificed several dozen roses for petals on the cabin sole this year. The meal was superb. The chocolate was sublime. The whisky a serious nosegay.
Can't remember what came next.:D
 
"When it comes to the boat, what features are conducive with the above activity?"

A waterline length in excess of 75 feet... full width master cabin with king size bed.. berth in Monaco... Unlimited hot water.... Full time staff including stewardess, skipper, mechanic...


All of these things will go a long way towards ensuring that you have a plentifull supply of women on the boat... which is the first thing towards ensureing rumpty....


Much less than the above and IME your choices become more limited...

A cosy 21ft and the right woman are all that's needed here, plus as mentioned, this means we can reach the kettle and even open the hatch when it's a bit hot, below

I think you will find that my above requirments provide a solution for the problems cited. Without having to stretch.
 
Nowadays I like a double berth in a cabin with a door. Pity my Westerly does not have this.

Mind you I was not always so fussy. I remember my first "almost" time in a Y.W. Dayboat dinghy with a tent over it, and I can particularly remember name of the barsteward that put paid to my night's entertainment by yelling as he rowed past "Ken, ******, You've got a hell of a list to starboard."

I do! and my famous words to the young lady:
Me: "I'm going to show you something you've never seen before"
She: "What's that?"
Me: "The soles of your feet in the rear view mirrors"

Must be difficult for those on the Clipper boats in Royal Clarence when there are 14 of them aboard. A couple of nights ago, about 2am, there was one Clipper couple about to shag on "A" pontoon; until they got hit by decklights from an adjacent yacht.
 
never had a problem on either my 18ft or 22ft yacht, it just takes a little imagination some times, anything above a F5 or a moderate sea is dangerous he he. Dodgers are a good idea also makes it harder for your mate to watch you at it with his high powered binoculars if sailing with other boats around. Worst bit is cold condensation dripping in the winter months.

Well done, your lady sure has a romantic husband.

I've just noticed you corrected my word to gentle which puzzled me for what i originally typed was 'genteel'.

How on earth that transformed to 'gentile' ( which also resolves an earlier puzzling reference from another) I can't say, either a spellchecker or perhaps the onset of dementia- anyway, I've checked it this time
