Very nice, Neil; hope all goes well with the purchase.
She's 2.1m, so a bit on the deep side for the east coast, but makes up for it in so many other ways!
I suddenly feel very envious.
More importantly is the cockpit or saloon big enough to still entertain the whole East Coast Forum?
What's all this 'I've bought a new boat'
Are you telling us Debs doesn't know?![]()
No, she's well away from the east coast at the moment.... she has had a previou owner living in Kent, but where he kept her I don't know, and it was a fair few years ago.Nice one Neil bit more roomy than Toni is! Is she locally based? as HWMBO reckons that he has seen her before.
That's an interesting observation Tradewinds (and thanks for your kind words!).
We did think long and hard before going down this route, and have based our decision on a very different set of requirements to those many will have. The need for confidence mid-ocean far outweighed the downsides of poor light wind performance etc....
It remains (IMHO) very important to be precise in what you need from a boat before you go shopping.
I often use an old project management tool called MOSCOW.... Must have.... Should have.... Could have... Won't have... it helps guide the decision wisely.... for sure this boat wouldn't be for everyone, but we're chuffed to bits!
