| A *new* "which boat" thread. Just what the board needs. ha ha ha
We may have found a way to keep on sailing, provided I sell the Hirsh. So... I am asking you all for a couple of suggestions as to makes and models that would fit the following criteria: *Sloop or Ketch *Heavy displacement - speed not crucial, ability to break a wake/wave essential *Tough hull - like I have now. Can take a beating. *100% Manual Systems (foot pump for water, etc...) - or no systems *Possibly an outboard engine instead of an inboard - save future expense, make more room aboard *Solar, Wind to support refrigeration (could be added later) *Pullman berth *Wheel or tiller, but maybe a windvane already installed *Lots of tankage for H2O *Low maintenance - really rugged *$30K or less Anybody have any thoughts? We are quite used to living aboard and don't need any luxuries. In fact, we are looking to "Walden it" and live without any of life's little luxuries (that can break and cost you $$). Thanks... and I can't believe I started another "which boat" thread. ![]() Sean |
