If money was no object?...

[Wansworth]

I just noticed you specified "wooden" so the Seadog wouldn't do

NoIt would be one off and the builders would let me help when I felt like it?

No doubt that would result in a higher price ?

I would get to paint the Danboline,and sweeping up and helping?

Honestly, I would not want a yacht that size.

30 feet LOA would be fine.

A 30 foot LOA Ruster 36?

I am over 80 and would have bought a Rustler 36 last year if my wife had not read the Riot Act and killed my little scheme. ?

Interior looks too much like the left overs from an Ikea sale.

Good point

 

[DownWest]

No doubt that would result in a higher price ?

Yep, on another forum..
My hourly rate is £50
If you want to watch, it is £80
If you want to help, it is £120
If you have worked onit yourself , sky limit.

The exception proves the rule, what, ?

 

[Wansworth]

And make the tea?

Moody DS, but I'd rather have the 45 than the 54

Unless I’ve missed it, I’m surprised that no one has mentioned Kraken. It’ll be interesting to see the drawings of the new ‘44’ when they’re completed later this year.

Well we can all dream - my nomination would be one of these Robert Perry 43 ft cutters
Betts | Carbon Cutters (Perry 43)
However frankly I am quite happy with my small yacht, like Poignard in this respect but 28' is big enough for me to lie full length in the cockpit, perhaps an advantage of being short., and it has certainly done all that I have asked of it and more.

Well I chose a second hand Discovery 55 so I am a little biased but I spent 50% again re-fitting it so watch out! I am not sure what "within reason" means but if I was to buy a catamaran it would either be an Outremer of if I have a huge budget I would really buy an HH catamaran like this one.

HH52 - Style, Speed and Comfort — HH Catamarans

If you want a monohull then the Disco 55 is pretty perfect in design but you need to bring them up to date and it is not cheap but it is worth it. On the other hand if I was buying newish in ascending order I would but an Allures 52, a Kraken (Brilliant design, the owner has almost thought of everything), Oyster 495 or a Truly Classic ( but I would need a new wife as she refused to allow me to buy one of these, she prefers something more modern...).

This may have been mentioned earlier but it deserves repeating for the sake of which ever sex, If money is no object and it flies, fckus or floats, . . . . . . . . . . . . RENT IT ?

 

[Chiara’s slave]

No surprises here, but here is my liveaboard dream, not that I really have any. Part time would be nice though, a mooring in Ibiza perhaps.
Dazcat 1495 - The Multihull Centre
I couldn’t be doing with the drink spilling, no deck space etc issues of monohull sailing. The only issue with the Dazcat is price, so if money is no object….
