Hello everyone, very new here, had a bit of a peruse and I will probably stay a lurker. We are in the process of looking for a cruising
boat. Currently sailing with Twofold Bay Yacht Club near the beautiful port of Eden as crew on an
Adams 10.
Someone told us to get a dingy to learn, they said if you can sail a dingy you can sail anything. While it may have some aspects of truth it really wasn't great
advice, bored with the dingy in a couple of months and wanting a more comfortable
boat after day 1. We are tall and there is nothing fun about that kind of boat unless you are very short, small or young. It also taught us very little about cruising boats or cruising on the ocean.
We recently chartered a boat in the Whitsundays and now we really need to buy! I wanted to sail the
Med,
Great Barrier Reef without all the
charter restrictions and the
Caribbean mostly but every time I
research I find other places I will need to sail. Mono
hull for sure, but mainly due to
budget
Thanks for all the info!
