Links on the forum are fine, but we take a dim view of someone using the forum to advertise their YT channel or blog for their own gain.
The She 27 looks nice and I don't believe that is the original
interior, which if true its a
work of art installing that. Some serious cash has been spent on the gizmos too. However, a She 27 is a
really small space to live on in the UK.
Cabin fever will be a problem in the depths of a
winter.
The other two will have similar size problems as a home even for one person with a minimalist life style.
I Don't agree with Andy's valuation of S Melody. Its not what he paid for it and the work its had done, but what someone will pay for it that is the true value. It's a
steel boat and an interesting boat to sail around the world or live aboard, but won't appeal to the majority of weekend cruisers in the UK. The market is grp in mint condition, with a fin
keel for and really nice
interior plus
shower and heads to impress the ladies, etc.
In your position, I would approach Andy and say this is all the funds I have, can i buy SM? He needs to sell to concentrate on their larger Bowman 48, so might just bite because there won't be many other buyers looking at this
project. Nor has he the time to finish SM whilst also working on the Bowman, two
boats never works.
You get a fab yacht that does need some finishing inside enabling you to chose the layout, fittings and colours etc. Also a lot more living space as your home and room for a partner perhaps or sailing with friends in due course. You are also adding value should you decide to change later in life. You have nothing to loose by asking and everything to gain as Andy and Melissa did
buying the Bowman in the depths of
winter for a really
cheap price.
Just ask him and you could appear on YT next week sailing off into the sunset on SM for your next adventure
