Interesting possibility..

[LittleSister]

Yes,that’s what was initially attractive but without more info on the underwater bit ,cannot see it being anything but a smooth water boat without too much wind

Ok I take onboard your comments,will investigate more.

I believe it's a Kirie 'Fifty 23'. There was a whole series of Kirie Fifties from 21ft (older model I think - different shaped coachroof etc.), 23, (24?), 27, (33?), and 40. I haven't yet found a picture of the underside of a Fifty 23, but all the others I've found have a long fin keel of modest (but not excessively shallow) draft. Looks a good arrangement to me for the type of thing.

Not the most elegant of yachts in the shorter lengths, but 'purposeful' looking, and one can sit in comfort on one's spacious small boat and look out and admire the lines of others' cramped and/or outrageously expensive boats.

ThIs Kirie Fifty 23 has a long keel. (Twice the fun! )

Looks quite nice sized rudder

This looks a bit faster even tied to the jetty from the same broker. Can't see a bog, is that a problem?

The bog's under the forepeak berths, I believe.

I'm not sure 'faster' should be an especially important criterion for Wansworth.

Google image search is your friend

With that shape under water, she's never going to be quick, but I reckon she'd get you home long after you were wishing you hadn't gone out, and she'll keep you dry with that wheelhouse. The only disadvantage is that she'll need legs to dry out, but she shares that with most boats

Underwater shape is, pointy at the front flat at the back and a bit fatter in the middle.
So why not this one ?
Please remember the perfect boat does not exist just like a perfect wife/husband.

I would dispute that statement, on at least 1 point
Modesty does not permit me to comment further

Thanks for this

I will let you guess which 2 apply to me

Ok.. I will guess….you have the perfect boat and husband

Have I missed something?
Since when did we change the thread drift to Bouba going for a swim?

It's possible that Bouba would be under rigged even for Wansworth.

Well you stick a mast in..... No perhaps not
