What boat would you most like to play with?

[Slow_boat]

Not own, just to play with or skipper/crew or whatever for however long.........

I'd like a go on one of those big transat trimarans in a good breeze.

 

[Fergus]

hydroptere

 

[douglas_family]

i'd like a shot on one of those extreme cats, a moth (flying dingy thing) and an open 60

Given the summer we've had, all I ask for is suitable weather to play on my own boat!

I would like to have a go on a fin-keel Foxcub. Merit is fantastic on a reach or a run but makes the leeway associated with bilge keelers. I would love to see what performance I could get out of a fin-keel version.

One of these look rather sexy ! A few dolly birds on the bow /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif what more would you wish for !

 

[pyrojames]

Cambria, or Lulworth, or a similar big classic.

 

[flaming]

Leopard.

One of them big french racing Trimarans when their having their annual bash at Douarnenez. Hydroptere would be exciting too. Might be a bit hard on the back though when you fall off the plane.

A week or so ago I was watching one of those hydrofoil Int Moths from my rather more sedate vessel. What a fantastic sight although the "pilot" was tacking rather than gybing so it wasn't possible to keep the hull out of the water through the turns.

They have moved on somewhat from the one I had in the late seventies which had a rotating mast, wings and an open transom and I thought that was pretty radical. When there wasn't anything else to do I often used to sail it backwards so that it would submerge and then accelerate forwards. Goodness knows how the rig stood it! Happy days.

A Dragonfly

Team Philips.

Before it falls to pieces

I have always fancied racing, playing with a hovercraft.

 

[Poignard]

A Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter [but somewhere warmer than the Bristol Channel]

Well, I sure would have liked to have been aboard when this was shot.

Otherwise, I'd make do with one of them new Swan CS42s

 

[searover]

Nearly as fast as my moody 37 /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Velsheda in a healthy breeze.

Actually, an E Boat would be pretty awesome.
