Welcome to the forums. That’s a slightly odd and personal question for a first post?

1. Westerly Sealord
2. I don’t add it up and it depends. (Furthermore Mrs M might read the answer and I’d then have to go into explanations about how everything I’ve bought is ‘an essential safety item’. )

'If one is going to continue to own a boat, then the one thing one cannot afford to have is a clear sense of how much one spends in chandleries each year'

I have a 33’ ketch and probably spend about double what the wife believes.

If I looked at the cost of running my boat I possibly wouldn't have one. Its a lifestyle choice ...

J Class Yacht, £1 million or so a year.

I'm surprised it's not a lot more.

Looks like a market research bot

Once apon a time stuff was always cheaper online. Unfortunately much of it proved to be ****p

Now always check the local chandlery price, it frequently will be no worse than the online prices which of course are also bloated with postage and packing.

Bet its a bot.

Bot can't even get the year correct.

4 boats :

#1 : 5m Soviet Mobo (Progress 4)
#2 : 5.5m 2 berth sailboat (Kormoran)
#3 : 25ft Motor Sailer (Sunrider 25)
#4 : 38ft Cruiser Racer (Conqubin 38CR)

How much spent in Chandleries ?? Very little in fact - most years near zero. Most purchases are online ... split about 70% from non Chandlery websites. How much in monetary figures - that's private data - sorry.

Bet its a bot.

Bet it isn't.

Newbie2024 - welcome to the forums!

Tell us a little about yourself and why you're asking. My guess at the moment is that you're a student and this question is part of a project or assignment.

Alas, I suspect your biggest learning point will be that it can be difficult to get useful data from a forum of individualists!

Nothing to do with the boat. That is his mistress- she serves behind the counter

[ChromeDome]

If I quit the boat hobby I could save enough to buy







... a boat

 

[The Q]

16ft mini keelboat.
If you include antifouling and sails, maybe £200 per year averaged.

I only buy things that won’t fit in my pocket , so for Xmas I had a new coat with bigger pockets.

 

[rogerthebodger]

I don't but from Chandlers any more if I can help it.

I used to buy when I was building my boat and people ask me how much it cost my answer id I don't want to know
