Re: Broadblue 38

It isn't, the link is straight to the broadblue page, here

I must admit though, the one on the pontoon at LIBS was better looking, and massive inside. If that is a prout my mistake, or the mistake of the page above, but as said we went aboard one in London and it is a hell of a boat.

Bloody hell you are right Jimi, the site has the wrong pic, but I now like the look of the prout too.

Re: Broadblue 38

Always wondered if multihullers suffer from hip problems, but haven't quite had the courage to ask until now.

I'm enjoying a cheap Rioja and it's lifting my windward keel a little.

My own purpose designed 55ft steel gaff schooner. Nothing else considered.

Plan is to do it in our own Maxi 120.

Definitely would like for at least a cutter and preferably a ketch - smaller sails and greater choice to use in different circs.

But remember....

Your dream boat is not the one you dream about but the one that takes you sailing.

From my experience you should get 6 - 8 knots on most points of sail, in that kind of wind & I'd rather have the Ocean when the wind gets up. I sailed from Alderney to the Solent a couple of years ago in 3 - 4 on the beam & we averaged 9 Knots.

What rig was the boat you sailed?

I will follow the advice of...

...the first owner of my boat, Phillip Allen. He wrote the first edition of the RCC "Atlantic Crossing Guide" and said in it, "Go in the boat you already have; you know her and she won't spring too many surprises on you", or words to that effect.

Re: I will follow the advice of...

This is excelent advice. Because of course, if you set off in a boat you weren't going to have until the following december, er...you'd drown? Mind you, the early decades of the twentieth century was awash with obvious advice such as not throwing away spare food during the war, and wearing warm clothes in cold weather.

I like the idea of..

a Bowman 42....but since Bowman went down the pan they are now being made by Rustler, tho I don't know if they have made any because they also do their Rustler 42

Gimme the Chuck Paine designed Bowman, it just seemed right...second choice would be the Rustler 42, the Stephen Jones design....the 2 boats are as close to being my perfect long distance cruisers as I could find, not that I could afford either, but hey, all I need is 6 numbers :-)

Re: I will follow the advice of...

As long as the boat is intrinsically upto what you are planning then this seems like the best advice. For me, ideally, a Bowman or Swan in the mid 40's would seem good, if I were starting with an empty sheet of paper and a suitable bank balance...
