Which Yacht?

[AndCur]

Folks

I am thinking of changing my Achilles 24 for something a bit bigger with more accommodation for cruising. But I want a boat which is
similar in nature to the Achilles fast enough for round the cans,very seaworthy,and a joy to sea. I have a maximum budget of 10/15k. I was thinking
of something around 25/28ft fin keel with a maximum draft of around 5ft.

Thanks for the advice

Jaguar 27(but I am biased!) see
<A target="_blank" HREF=http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/westgatefamily/index.htm>http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/westgatefamily/index.htm</A> I think there are a couple under the For Sale part.

What about the Achilles big brother the 9m?

Hi

The Achilles 9m would be great but the draft is just to deep.

Seamaster 815 might suit the bill. Good accomodation, sails well and well built. Not too many about but Google search will reveal a few.

Look at the Super Seal 26 which has good accommodation and will do well round the cans.

You should have a look at the Tapper 500, they are around the price you're thinking and as for around the cans you'll have the rest of them in your wash.

Albin Vega will fit your budget. Bigger brothers of A24 are different boats, different builders.

Elizabethan 29.
Good looking, well built, nice one can be had for 12k.
Certainly fast, clocked mine at 8.1 knots on Saturday in flat seas, beam reach, F4-5.
