Re: Alliaura Feeling 55 - thoughts?

As a (sailing) novice, I definitely am not sure! Whats more to handle from say a 45 foot mono/cat? she has bow and stern thrusters, 4 electric winches, 3 furlers, twin engines. I have maneuvered...

Re: Alliaura Feeling 55 - thoughts?

I found an independent report she does 6-7 at 40 deg, and 9-10 knots at 60, with 15kt of wind. Seems respectable to me. You are right about displacement, 44k.

Re: Alliaura Feeling 55 - thoughts?

Valid points about maintenance via size. However no paid crew for us.

My father went from a 47 power to 59 power and I think there is some buyers remorse. But his is wayyyy more complex and...

Re: Alliaura Feeling 55 - thoughts?

Just realized it has a retractable bowsprit and additional furler, but not all rigged up for some reason. I’ve seen another 55 which had 3 head sails furled - went on ARC rally I believe.

Alliaura Feeling 55 - thoughts?

Hello All - we have been planning our future adventure, and have decided mostly that we would like a catamaran.. until I came across this boat. It seems quite rare, and I can't find a lot of...

Re: Why Do Marinas Seem to Hate Liveaboards?

I don't own a boat yet, but have been planning.

I searched locally in So-Cal, and some marinas clearly state they can only accept so many % live-aboard, and the primary reason I found was due to...

Re: Place to pull out boat in sea of cortez

There is a newer spot south of Loreto you may try

Puerto Escondido Marine | Boat Services & More (https://puertoescondidomarine.com/)

Not sure for certain he can fit 26’ beam but looks like it.

Re: Nautitech Open 40

FWIW, when I was at the Cannes show, the rep said the 46 Fly suffered noticeably vs 40/46 Open. Boom height was very high. I walked both boats, along with the other MFGs and agreed that the fit and...

Re: New L42 owner - thoughts and questions

Thanks for your feedback. I agree on those sentiments - the forward berth is for a single adult or kids, really. We are new to sailing and without kids, and maybe under-estimate how many crew we...

Re: New L42 owner - thoughts and questions

Yes, understand this, coming from the Airstream world of camping. We have an island bed (at a 90) and one side its easy to get out of bed, the other you have to duck and roll slightly, or scoot.
