Are you ever going to buy, or even seriously look at a boat ? You must have posted about hundreds.

I am extremely indecisive But an interesting little boat that I have always admired,probably be sold before I cantravel

It does look interesting, not heard about the model previously.
Remind me, where is your likely area to moor it? Rias? or N coast?

 

[mrming]

Looks good that! Get over there and see it.

Ría de Vigo…although a Coruña is nearer the weather is better all year round in the lower rias

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

With a little attention to detail, that wee boat would take you anywhere you'd want to go.

Sorry, not to my taste.

Sorry, not to my taste.

But you cannot deny that it looks a very seaworthy little boat……with possibly a rudder that won’t attract the attention of Orcas

I can' deny it looks a very seaworthy boat because I can't see it! (Very frustrating. ) Same problem with accessing as on your post a while back.

I thought you'd learnt how to post images?

 

[LittleSister]

One of these?

It's different!

Double-ender! (Big sister to your former baby Macwester?)

The hull looks a nice shape (for those that like that sort of thing). Coachroof is a bit Marmite.

You don't get much in the way of windows, I think it might be a bit gloomy below, but will be just the ticket every occasion you're caught out in the ultimate storm while wafting around the rias.

Relatively wide side decks - Mrs. W will be pleased - but you pay a price for that below. Ample sprawling space on foredeck, too.

It will appeal only to a narrow section of the boat buying public (the discerning ones? ), and its sort of a forced sale so maybe scope for negotiating a lower price?

What's the engine?

At 25' she's gorgeous. I'm not in the habit of entertaining @Wansworth's threads - he should end this here and now, and get straight down there to buy her.

 

[DownWest]

I like it too.
And, now the photos are up, I realized I did a 'survey' and test sail on one in 2004 for a friend in the Algarve. Three Swedes had planned an Atlantic crossing and got as far as Portimao before they fell out with each other and left it there.
Hauled it to get a good look at the hull, as osmosis was a current fear, but no problems. Engine was the VP original, but ran nicely. Thumbs up and friend bought it.
One odd feature, not needed in Algarve, but nice in Sweden, was a diesel water heater with rads under the edges of the berths.

That's the only, truly free, thing a guy can do around boats

My Van De Stadt Caribbean 40, built in Holland in '93 - '94, has a Webasto of this variety. It hasn't worked since I've had the boat (well, maybe it dried because I never turned it on the first 6 months of ownership). I'll have to get round to having a look at it - there are a couple of months each winter in Algarve that it would've been useful.

In my minds eye I see myself definitely hove too in tremendous seas ……….over the cafe Bar Marina

This was a nordic drip feed that aparently circulated the water without a pump. Bit puzzled by it, but was not on the list of priorities and due to be pulled to free the space.
