We are thinking of selling our Varne 27 and buying a Macgregor 26x. The main reason being that we often end up motoring and it takes hours to get anywhere. We want to go further afield and have limited time. We've done all the local places to death. I love the idea of doing 15 knots or road trailering. Although I am 70 and my partner's 65, we're not quite ready for a full on motor cruiser yet. Big question is, why don't you see many up here on the West Coast of Scotland? Are they really that tender? I've watched videos of them in very big seas, far more than we would ever go out in.
The Varne is a tough sailing boat but she's hard work to sail and the space is cramped, we never get a good night's sleep, so we're always knackered after a 2 day trip.
