Member
The time has arrived to start the next phase of life.
To old to run the yacht (sail), now, its 55ft cruiser.
options
Trawler style.
requirment:
Steel. Because I want.
65-75ft
full displacement.
cruise speed 9-10 knots.
range 4000+
twin engine I think.
run with limited (none) crew, but with capacity for crew on long hall runs.
narrowed down to:
1: Watson 72
Watson 72
2: Allegro 24
ALLEGRO 24
3: Bering.
love the Watson but 3m draft hmmmmmm not so sure.
Could wel be a very limiting factor.
2 year build time.
then
6 month coastal cruise shake down (east coast Australia inc Tas. then off around the world for a few years.
fly back to Aust every 3-4 months (keeps the Admiral happy)
so looking forward to this.
