Max 20k budget - what boat ?

[Laurie]

Been a bit sad and have done some comparisons.
Given my plans of crossing the North Sea on a regular basis they are quite revealing.
Put it this way I don't think I'd be as happy in a North sea blow in the Kelt than in the UFO

There's great video on You Tube of a Feeling 850 crossing the North Sea in a blow.....around an 8 or a 9 I think. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?)v=igYtacaFKdA

Boat found, surveyed, inspected.
600mile round trip today to see her in the flesh.
Boat bought!

Somersault - MGRS34
Just the little matter of sailing her back from Cardiff to Southwold.

Just read whole post and was going to vote for Sigma 33 (coz i'm not biased or anything) then seen you have purchased already so I wish you health to enjoy, I have raced an MGRS34 back in the 80's and they were good fun.

Looks like a good buy, especially with a new engine and re-upholstered.

looks great,; and from a pedigree designer too; you must be very excited; have fun sailing it from Cardiff.
