South Coast - Cheap boating option

Well obviously people will come out of the woodwork to defend their 'ideal' type of boating.
Personal choices will vary at a multiple above the number of contributors.
I think the original comments were based on a slight tone from the OP of a little optimism that hit a level a few people wanted to warn about, not dump-on.
Plus add a few

If we only help the OP a little, we've served our purpose.

Good IF the kids like sailing. And mum likes watching the kids sailing.

you’re missing the point. It’s not what you’re happy with. It’s what the whole faniily is happy with.

With electricity you keep the boat warm with background heat so you can keep the beds made. The fridges can stay on so you can have food ready and waiting. Have a remote control to turn the heating on before you arrive. An air frier and a microwave makes cooking for the kids so easy.

Without water how do you wash down the boat and keep it shiny? Maybe that isn’t important to you. But it doesn’t matter what is important to you……

It sounds like you can only envisage your way of boating with fridges, air fryers, microwave and remote control. Maybe other families aren’t as needy?

We had a fridge, and recharging for mobile devices, ie my son’s Game Boy It’s probably fair to say that few, if anyone, had on board microwaves, and air fryers weren’t thought of. The lad is only 33 though, it was’t that long ago. Just 20 years, really. 4 of us managed to exist on an F27 trimaran. Our mooring neighbours were friendly, but a bit older, no kids around. Obviously, this was the odd boats corner, where the funny wide boats were put, at the furthest end of the trots, even though our neighbours were a well known sailmaker and the then CEO of the RYA
