I could step up to this cruiser from my Dufour 24 ….i
Yes that’s a feature I didn’t take into account ….maybe I can put one on the Dufour although the bowsprit thingy would be a real painIt's got a conservatory!
Mrs. W will approve of the wide side decks, and that bowsprit will be handy to park the Westerly Nomad you aspire to under.![]()
Don’t think I would get that pass the wifeWouldn’t it be easier just to go to the next size up in the DuFour range ?…like this…
It wasn’t much of a video (although I think it was filmed in my local waters) but I thought your smaller 55 ft boat looked bigger inside than the 61 in my videoDon’t think I would get that pass the wife![]()
Well yes lots of”mood shots” bit like car publicity…..scare the shite bats out of me mooring up in a marina or even anchouring in crowded anchorage not to mention sticking in that last reefIt wasn’t much of a video (although I think it was filmed in my local waters) but I thought your smaller 55 ft boat looked bigger inside than the 61 in my video

That 55 had twin engines....(I don’t know if that’s normal on that size yacht)...so with a bow thruster and large keel...it should be a doddle to park....I’m sure it comes with parking cameras and remote controls so you can walk around the deck as you park.Well yes lots of”mood shots” bit like car publicity…..scare the shite bats out of me mooring up in a marina or even anchouring in crowded anchorage not to mention sticking in that last reefAimed at the successful man on his third wife ?
Might deplete my pocket book?In that case you'll need to move up a further notch in size, to one that has separate quarters for your paid crew who will handle those jobs for you. The step up from 61ft to 61m comes with a range of benefits.![]()
Theres an opening for a “park a boat “ ….adjacentize the boat to the marina and a “parking captain” takes over and you just tip him or her!That 55 had twin engines....(I don’t know if that’s normal on that size yacht)...so with a bow thruster and large keel...it should be a doddle to park....I’m sure it comes with parking cameras and remote controls so you can walk around the deck as you park.
