I am a coward

So am I, immediately before launching.

But once that is done and the boat responds as it should one quickly regains confidence in both the boat and the skipper's abilities - or at least cowardice is focused on avoiding getting in a pickle - discretion being the better part of valour, and all that - and all sorts of voyages and adventures are within grasp of even the faintest heart.

You have been too long ashore to remember that, perhaps?

A kind reply……

Before I bought the Vega I had looked at a few yachts as you do most were finished by the owner and like my father fitted a dinette which has two results the settee berth is too narrow and difficult to access although the idea of making it into a double berth promising nights of rampant thingy meant the bed had to be made and unmade ,as I say a work of Satan

But doesn't your boat (sic!) have a settee berth, and one of reasonable width, albeit partially under the cockpit bench?

And could you convert the dinette into another settee (the dinette looks only slightly (though possibly critically) shorter than the quarter berth on the Puma 23 drawings) if you didn't come to accept it?

I think it's beholden on any forum lottery winner ( main prize) to buy Wansey a nice Halberg Rassy 44 wit two armchairs and a sofa in the saloon so that he has a choice.

There is another boat with two settees as a Spaniard would say “ como dios manda”….wewill then consider our options

Why pay for the pontoon?

Why pay for the pontoon?

Side decks too narrow for Mrs. W. No self-maintaining engine. No stainless fuel tank. No twin settee berths. I could go on.

In any case Senor Wansworth's current boat ownership doesn't require paying for a pontoon, either! (A bit pricey on calls to brokers, and travelling for viewings, though. )

But the seacocks are within easy reach. Every boat is a compromise, as someone said on this thread sometime in the last century.

Yes,yes. But did you ever make an offer on Señor Noah’s animal friendly boat when you first started ringing around?

He said the deal would include two elephants…….at least

Excellent deck wash set up.
Camel water storage and a few reliable horses and you’re good to go
