Can everyone post what boat they have as a liveaboard please?

Corribee 21, because I can't afford anything bigger.

I thought you're selling?

I thought you're selling?

I am. But I still live on her until she goes. Got a couple of viewings this weekend.

She's too big for me anyway. I was starting to get dangerous senses of comfort on board. Better put a stop to that. I do still own an Optimist on Windermere...

Ours is a Solaris Sunrise Catamaran. Oodals of room, very very comfortable a true comfortable HOME and we live aboard all the year.

Hallberg Rassy 46 one of the best for short handed blue water cruising.

I love the liveaboard threads, and while I am not in one, I plan to be at some stage in the future once the kids grow up.

I had an hour to kill at work, and did some stats on all the liveaboard boats.

The most popular was a Moody, closely followed by Nicholson and Westerly.

The most popular length was 42ft, closely followed 39, 38 , 35 and 33 in that order.

Average boat length was 39.5ft.

I guess I had better do some work now :-(

When I was it was this

 

[mandlmaunder]

Ours is a Solaris Sunstar 36 cat

Got us to the Caribbean where we are still having a blast in the Virgin Islands.

Out here it is a small cat , when we were in Gosport she was one of the bigger boats.

Plenty of room for two with occasional company, great live aboard, with lots of hatch's which is god for the wind but bad when it starts to rain and I have to do the midnight naked dash to shut up quick.

Hi all,

We have a Corvette 320. Lots of deck space and a Tardis of an interia.

We are wintering in the Med at the moment ( Sof France ) and have plenty of living space.

Very interested to see what comes out here, as there seems to be a vocal bunch with very definite my boat is best theme, but I would also like the rest to lay it down.
For the purposes of this exercise, I am not interested where you are or what you do with it, just what you have.
Thanks....

Not living aboard yet- due to retire early next year. We have an Island Packet 350. 36foot 10 inches O/A. Solid boat,really good alongside or on the hook. A bit slow unless 15+KNTS. of wind. Easy for a crew of two to manage and maintain.

What boat as a live-aboard

Don't know whether we fit the definition of live-aboards or not, since we winter back in the UK, but our boat is a 23-year old 10.65m Nauticat 35:bermudan sloop, two helms - above deck and below. With a 3.47m beam she's no racehorse but a kindly seaboat for two septuagenarians to handle; roomy interior with cabins (and heads) forward and aft. We've also found her surprisingly cool below in the Mediterranean - given that the Nauticats started life as Northern waters boats.

Rustler36, does it all and stowage/load carrying galore but no triple aft cabins.

Though I cruised for years on a Corribee too, two up too laterly.

FullCircle, this thread could run and run, eh!

Neither do I, since we also don't spend winter onboard.
I find boating not so appealing without some swimming and diving...
Anyway, our summer home can be found in this previous thread.

 

[lenseman]

Hedoniste 44 steel ketch. That makes two listed on this thread so they have to be good.

A proper blue-water cruiser as the last time she was bunkered, I put 650 litres of fuel into her tanks and she also has a 1,000 litre fresh water tank.

Westerley 31' 1973 in UK - Roomy for 1 or 2 sharing.
