Welcome! You'll definitely want to get out on the water before you go boat buying. Cats don't even feel the same as keel boats, which is hard to get a sense of from the books.

Welcome aboard, Daren Branch,

Gamayun's right, monos vs. multihulls do feel different under way, but you need to tell us more . Have you any special interests? What kind of "plan" are you on relative to your dream? Are you from an area in Gt. Britain that has a sailing history?

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Darenbranch.

Hi all,
Yes the plan is to get some sailing experience , inland generally as I cannot live further than the coast ( mid Bedfordshire!)
Then to try and gain some experience off shore.....it's a big ask, but you gotta have dreams right !
Working as a paramedic ATM so wanna retire in about 5 years which will make me 58 ( wife permitting ) 😊
