flicking through this months MBY i saw one of the "readers boats" a Duchy 27

im really quite taken by this and the appeal of a simple overnighter, shaft drive (as opposed to outdrive) space for the dogs to come with us, some cover, some open area and the looks of a stylish motor launch....

i really really like the Oyster 43 but thats just not going to happen!!

so..... what else is there around thats similar to the Duchy, be it new or old?

...from a rib to Hunton logical step.... from a Hunton to a Duchy.... Howard, you are getting old!

I was born old, so a Duchy gets my vote.

But another boat well worth considering (and less £££) Black Cove..

Well we all have to grow up at sometime!! in all honestly, i am an old man at heart! (drive an estate car, have a labrador, like reading the sunday papers with a mug of tea in front of the fire....)

Boating has to be about enjoyment for all. would be nice to go out in all weathers, with the dogs, and a happy SWMBO who can tuck in the warm when the rain comes in!

Clearly i like boats that are slightly different to most on the water. im sure i can find a way of getting my speed fix somehow!
 
i kinda wanna get away from the planing hull form and something more semi displacement.

fundamentally a day boat with the ability to tuck out of the weather, the odd overnight, toilet and somewhere to warm my horlicks and cool my pimms!
