We've been having so much fun racing our little boat, we're starting to think about a bigger one .
The brief:
£18k total budget, on the start line and ready to compete. This includes purchase, transport to East coast UK (if necessary) and any upgrades needed such as new sails etc. If it doesn't have a good engine it needs to acquire one within that budget.
Accommodation for 2-3 adults and 2-3 kids for short stays. No real luxuries needed apart a bit of a space, a cooker, some kind of dining table (this can be jury rigged), and a loo.
30-33ft (Impala is slightly too small).
Must be able to surf downwind - not a skinny transomed broach coach.
Must be a sailors boat with great performance rather than a caravan which rates well. A racer-cruiser if you will.
Must be easy on the eye (subjective I know).
Not asking much am I?
What would the panel suggest?
