Fairline 21 sprint

[hardy]

Hello
Can anyone tell me if this kind of boat would be damaged by lying on a mud berth
My old Hardy was fine but I am looking to by the 21 and am not sure if she would suffer from the weight on drying out
any info welcome or anyone selling a 21

There's at least one that dries onto hard sand at Lyme Regis, has done so for years with no obvious problems.

as long as there are no rocks under the boat when it dries out no problem.

I also am considering buying a Sprint, and have been advised to buy with big engine option (205hp).

They do seem a bit expensive (14k to 17.5k) - the older Weekenders are considerably cheaper (8.5 to 11.5K), and remember that you should be able to get a Sunfury/Carrera for around 18/19k.

Maybe as there are quite a few on the market at the moment, you could get a reasonable one for 13k.

I have a Sprint - for 2 years I've had it on a drying berth. No problems at all. The hull on the Sprint is very strong. The only thing I didn't really like doing was having to leave the leg up all the time

If it is a mud berth she is drying out on then it will be good for the boat. The mud will take away Oxygen thus preventing growths and act as a protector.
