Back home I had a neighbour whose position on this was: Why spend 50 grand on a boat and then deny your wife the price of an air ticket to come and join you once you've arrived?

Exactly the arrangement to which my wife and I arrived.

£50K is an excessive amount to spend on a boat -all those with boats in that bracket are so neurotic about it getting damaged, dirty or depreciated they don't seem to go anywhere it it.

Well it was actually £30k when he said it. I was just allowing for inflation.

Complete nonsense. Only people who think it's a lot of money to spend on a boat would behave like that. Boats are for using.

Love to see Charles buy a blue water liveaboard for that LOL
Truth is travel is not for all. How many people have waited to retire to "live the dream" only to find it a nightmare.
We generally agree that liveaboard boating does require a certain lunacy element.

Ah well! my boat cost £33K in 1990, when I bought it - so it's worth £55K?
For which sum, coincjdentally, hull and machinery are currently insured.
