New tender/annexe

[SammyB]

We have just ordered an MC5 for delivery next April and since our existing annexe is too big we need to buy one 2.85 max to sit on the swim deck.
Dreaming of a Williams 285 but it is pricey!!
Does anyone have any suggestions please?

We have a 325 and they are great fun if lousy value for money.

I think i saw somewhere that Williams sell remanufactured ones at a discount (second hand to you and me).

Hi sammy, we just took delivery of a brig falcon 300hl with a 20hp yamaha and all the gear....around a third of the cost of a w285 and far less expenive to run.

Only had one run out thus far, 150kg of crew and 30mph so pretty happy and the boat has a a fun but grown up feel...does need t tabs however.

LOA around 290 so might be ok for you....very excited to hear your delivery story unfold...we saw a few MC's being comissioned this summer in les sables, they have a great line. Did you go for the blue hull!?

Congrats on the MC5. very, very, cool and stylish boat. I think its straight out of The Adventures of Tintin! By the way, one day you must sail down to visit us in the Marina d'Arechi. We are having a fabulous time here on the Amalfi Coast :cheerful:

Thank you for the idea but currently would prefer an inbord to avoid issues we might have with the passerelle!

Thanks we spotted this one - it's on it's way back from the netherlands, we think the dark blue might not go with our rather snazzy MC turquoise

Congratulations on the new boat, I haven't seen an MC5 in the flesh but I really like the look of them from the pics I've seen

If an outboard would foul the passarelle, have you looked at the Cabrio range. The transom folds so the outboard doesn't stick out.

Could you get it vinyl wrapped to match?
