Is your\'s big enough

Re: Is your\'s big enough

Although size matters, it is what you do with it that counts ...
No point having a 50ft monster yacht if you can't afford to take it out for the weekend!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Re: Is your\'s big enough

Have 24ft, would like around 36 feet.

Or would I?

Jissel is a proper little boat, tough as old boots, but light enough that when skill fails, brute force can usually cope, even my limited supply thereof. With a little bilge keeler, I can do things and go places that I wouldn't want to risk in a big fin keeler.

Perhaps what I want is two boats - a little creek crawler and an ocean greyhound. Now, about those six little numbers...

Have 35ft, would like 35ft. Same boat actually.
Am I the only one who has achieved exactly what he wants?

Ha. Lift keel 35, goes in creeks drawing 3 feet, and takes the ground. Then we are off over the big boys soup, and we draw 7 feet, in Category A comfort. Answer: My Sun Odyssey 35.... and for lots less than your suggested 6 figures... 5 does it comfortably including every gadget known to The Marine Toy Shop. Used exmples will require a limb less than a new one.

[/ QUOTE ]Nope! got a Sadler 34 and happy with that. Go anywhere (within reason), easy to single hand, "unsinkable", easy to handle - forgiving as well! What more do I need.

Re: Is your\'s big enough

No, I am perfectly happy with my 37ft gaff cutter, as I hav been for the past 21 years.

One of these decades, I will find out how to sail her properly...

 

[Evadne]

Me too

Sometimes you get lucky and find the right boat first time. I've no aspirations to change boats yet.

Re: Me too

Im not bothered about the size. I would just like it to go where I pointed it. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Re: Me too

We'll look to upgrade to something around 37 feet when we can afford it, for the space and the legs..... and that'll do us for a good few years then, until we can afford a 40ish footer, and retire to a life of warmer waters and no pressure!

Could be next year, could be 5 years away..... who knows....
