Very easily confused with the user Alchemist V273, he's a right nutter.

One has to ask what the significance of 27ft is. IIRC correctly, this is turing into a bit of a fetish. Phillipa, Cutlass and now Vancouver.
You can buy my house if you want, it has a 27ft Lounge.

As an owner of a 27ft Boat I can only agree

Well done on the acquisition of the new boat Peter ! Look forward to seeing her on the pontoons... If you are still seeking gainful employment Brightlingsea Harbour are now officially looking for a new Harbour Master. If you have a commercial endorsement on a Yachtmaster ticket, it could be right up your street !

Unfortunately that tends to mean that you go up and down but stay in the same place.

Yep, have to admit that does sound rather like the Wallet to me

So true!
27' is just right for me, sailing alone, I can cope! But the V274 feels like 30' below decks.
Flipper only went because of the keel problem, Karouise is a great boat but the lack of headroom is killing my back, just a few hours and I ache! I did toy with the idea of a more modern boat just over 30' but just didn't like the lack of atmosphere on board although the ability to motor backwards in a straight line would be a huge benefit!
The V274 just seems right, heart rules. Comfortable to use as a second home all year round and a fantastic sea boat. The Jester Azores is still at the back of my mind and with this boat very achievable.

I hope you enjoy her I had several happy years of ownership before she was sold and shortly afterwards resold a very nice couple who I met several times. I would love to see some pictures and see if much has been done to her after I refitted her. She spent several years in the Yemen with her first owner before me. If there is anything I can fill you in with just ask.

The couple you met are the people I purchased her from. They bought her in 2002. I have been passed on the bills of sale from new. I guess you changed her name from Alison of Newhaven?
Once we are sorted at Fox's we will be taking up a mooring at Pin Mill. Please feel free to come and have a look.
