Hello,
I am currently contemplating the idea of acquiring a 1983 Cheoy Lee 61ft for liveaborad purpose.
I think I will need a lot of info as I am compeltely new to trawlers (and boating for that matter...)
A liveaboard needn't leave the dock.
I would assume then you're hiring a crew for when you want to leave the dock and to manage the boat?
Yes absolutely, as long as im not confident enough that I can be safe without
After having no claims over 25 years owning a 24-foot trailered sailboat, experienced no difficulty in obtaining coverage for my current 35-footer.
I write yacht insurance and would not question the jump from 24' sail with 25yrs experience to a 35'. Having no experience and buying a 60 footer is a different story. You can do a lot of damage with a 60 footer.
