Ideal Small Liveaboard

[billd]

Having recently 'upped' to 11 metres, I'm already wondering if my logic was sound. Several postings mention the difficulty (and expence) in securing summer berths in the Western Med for anything over 10 metres. (with seemingly no problem for under that length) My previous boat (now for sale in Scotland) a Halcyon CLIPPER 27 had good accomodation for her length (six 6'2" berths if you include the two saloon fold outs) and after much refitting was almost exactly the way I wanted her - yawl rig, auto pilot, self steering, all the cruising bells and whistles BUT my wife complained she was too small. (we do have three growing kids -but they never commented on a lack of space) Any advice on inexpensive moorings where an 11 metre boat my be safely left for several weeks in the summer on Spanish/French coasts or Balearics? Also if you're interested in the Clipper for sale check out www.billdick.btinternet.co.uk

My berth ( ok for 11m plus) in Gruissan (France) will be free for all of September. If that would be any use to you contact me and I will check with the Capitianerie.
Last year we left our boat in Marina Internacional de Torrevieja (Spain) for most of July & August for a very reasonable rate. Whilst the marina was quite full, finding a vacant berth for a couple of months was not a problem.
