Thanks Laurie, I'll keep that in mind.

Because I own one, I noticed this the other day ..... http://www.boatshop24.com/en/salterns-stag-28/Sailboat/123629
Virtually unused engine. Definitely sits happily on her keel. Very nice interior build. Looks to be an amazingly good price, especially if they'll accept an offer.

Nice!
If this centaur doesn't come to anything it might have to been examined more closely!
Thanks

Hey alahol2 I had a quick squizz at your website.. nice site.
I see you had an Iroquois at one stage... always like the look of them, any major reasons for going to a monohull?

Well, the kids grew up and disappeared so I looked for something a bit more 'snug' for me and the missus. My club didn't allow cats in for winter storage so I wanted a mono to cut costs, plus cleaning/antifouling two hulls always did me in. I miss the speed, level sailing and ability to dry out but I enjoy the 'feel' of sailing the Stag and it's much more homely on a chilly evening at anchor.
Horses for courses.

Thanks for that.
Very interesting. I had been looking at a hirondelle locally and was interested in the cat idea for a while.
The boat, as usual was in a lot worse condition than advertised so I walked.
And really the hirondelle is small inside. Even for a 5ft3in guy I would have gotten well tired of banging my head.. heh.
Have a good weekend.

A nice Stag is a rare treat............ (I'm talking boats, not meat, here!!)
