What yacht?

[Csail]

After a second hand yacht must have/be-
Three seperate cabins excluding saloon
Shower
Prefer seperate steering position inside
fast sailing
good size engine
safe ish for toddler /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
35-40 ish ft

Oyster.

Actually, joking aside, I think sailing performance tends to suffer on anything mid-budget range with an 'inside' helm position, but passing Swanick as I often do these days, I have seen Moody's with deck saloons, they might warrant further investigation.

 

[PeteCooper]

The larger Moody Eclipse's? Dufour 40 DS?

 

[Whitelighter]

Would suggest a Moody Eclipse 43.

Budget?

Most of the more modern deck saloon yachts can be equipped with a fly-by-wire steering system these days and are based on 'normal' yacht hulls.

How adept is the toddler at steering?

For a 35-40 footer, its sounds like a very tall order......

Easy. Nauticat 39 fits all of these criteria very nicely.

 

[Evadne]

Sounds like he's asking about Cats. Not so sure about the budget though.

 

[Pinnacle]

Mono or Cat/Tri, please? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[snowleopard]

Rather than a motor-sailer style inside helm position, consider just having an autopilot remote within reach of a seat with a good view. It takes up no space and is far less complex than a twin-wheel setup.

 

[Csail]

Mono ....don't trust cats. Don't ask me why!
Budget 50-100k

 

[Csail]

Current boat has twin steering and is great.....just not big enough.

 

[Csail]

Nauticat 39 looks perfect... cheers

I've got one - if you want any owners (wholly biased!) comments feel free to ask.

.....but range in price from £132k to £166k..... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[Richard10002]

Another vote for Nauticat.... but not cheap!

 

[Twister_Ken]

Moody Grenadier

Class act.

 

[Csail]

nice but over budget!

Whilst I am a novice here I think a 30 to 40 footer would be far beyond the capabilities of a toddler.
