Shorter mast for ICW ???

OK.

Maybe a stupid or naive question.

I am looking at boats in the 47-49' range. I eventually need the boat to have ICW air draft, but not for a few years - as I am going to take it to the...

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Taswell added. Also will look down in size.

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thanks, Sailcrazy. I also like the Taswell. I -refer the deck saloon configuration, but grew up in a traditional cabin. Will revisit them.

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thx. I remember flooding our bilge and flipping antenna as teen (I was always the one hoisted up) getting under an old rr bridge on the trip through FL/Okeechobee. Fun stuff.

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thanks, Dr.

I hear you on the ICW. I do have places inside in NC that I'd like to get. What are your thoughts on draft. I'm a west coast of FL sailor.

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

I agree, Greg ... I'm leaning toward the Hylas ... just need to come to that conclusion!

Thanks,

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thanks, MJH. Good to look at. I guess the next thing I need to do is get out on them.

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thanks, Hartley. Yes, I do need to look at the individual boats. Does the shorter stick affect performance much?

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

I believe all the Hylases will unless modified. I have to be mindful on the Tayanas.

Thanks for thoughts.

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thanks Mag3. I wish I could say money is no object! Though I can afford either I don’t know if my inner voice will let me. I’m retiring after working for the last 40 years. Hard to let go of...

Re: Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Thanks. It is an awful pretty boat. Inside and out. What’s the worst thing that could happen if I buy a Hylas, right?!?!?!?

Hylas 49 vs. Tayana 48 DS

Ok, am I insane comparing these two boats?

I’m looking for center cockpit, blue water, ICW compliant boat with no more than 6 ft. draft. I’ve looked at several famous brands (old and new) and...

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

Thanks for the input. I know these are great boats. I am a bit concerned about the draft for the west coast of Florida, though I see one is in Palmetto.

Galleys seem to be a bit tight for a...

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

That is a beautiful boat. Taswell is definitely going on my list of prospects. My wife keeps telling me that I have to stick to the plan ... I want to buy NOW. I must admit she’s probably right.

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

Yes ... I have already discounted several boats because they just don't 'look' right - even in pictures. I do love the classic lines. Galley, head, bed have to fit.

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

I harbor fantasies of crossing and recrossing the Atlantic, the Bay of Biscay and Gulfstream. That may change as I get more experience and closer to pulling the trigger.

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

I was looking bigger mostly for interior volume because of my height. One thing that a bigger boat brings that I don't necessarily think we need is a third sleeping cabin. I know that people do...

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

I'm very familiar with the Whitby. My step-father worked in the yard in Fort Myers where they were made. Would be a hoot to have a boat that he helped build. I had not thought much about internal...

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

Thanks for reply.

I know a lot about the running aground part! Glad we did it on nice sandy bottoms.

I am concerned about the fit. Galleys in the pass through seem like they may be a problem....

Re: Shoal Draft Blue Water and ICW CC Liveaboard

Thanks. You’re living the life I want to lead. Island Packets are surely on my short list, but most seem to be little out of my price range.
