im looking for a brilliant sea boat, one that is able to handle the atlantic swell around the bay of biscay, but she must also have sutiable accommodation. Any ideas?

I think you may get a better response if you give a few details.
How many berths
What sort of size are you looking for
Rough idea of budget
Any specific must haves or have nots
Cheers

My P35 will handle anything you would want to be out in, swell being no issue at all.

I know where there will be a nice 32 for sale (but not until next spring) that has actually been across Biscay twice As H says swells are nothing, now, short sharp waves in the Irish sea are something else............. what are you really looking for.??

Thanks for the replys so far! at the moment weve got a fjord 815 and were looking for something just a bit bigger. the 815 is a brilliant boat but unfortunately her accomadation isnt great! Weve been across to the channel islands with her the last 8 years, and she can handle the 15 foot swell quite well around the alderny race! so something around 30 - 32 foot would be perfect!

Nah! I aint buying in to this thread.
I reckon it's got the hallmarks of a wind up.

On a more serious note... how about a scaled up Fjord 815 ... The CB1001
Came with and without hard top...

Similar hull, build quality and behaviour at sea ...

Must. Have.
That said I also want the 1908 icebreaking tug with the Bolinder hotbulb. I have issues.

No, I don't think so... just impeccable taste....what is it about tugs... i just think they are great!
But if you like that... how about this...been coverted from tug to a luxury cruiser... Oh, and I am sure very seaworth!!
