Hello everyone, just to introduce ourselves. We are a
family of 3, a son 13 years of age. A wife who was very nervous of sailing ! I have sailed from a very early age mainly in the Irish Sea.
The lasy 3 years we have chartered a
boat and sailed the North and South
Ionian, this has re kindled my bug for sailing and helped my wifes confidence enough to look at taking the plunge and buy ouselves a yacht.
We are looking at
purchasing a yacht between 36 - 41 foot. We don't know the best type although have looked at some second hand Bavarias. What are your views ?
Where would be the best ( cost effective ) place to berth it ?
Does anyone have any experience on
buying a
new boat on a ''Partnership Scheme'' with a
charter company as this is an option that we have considered ?
All your views and
advice would be gratefully received as we do not want to go into this totally blind and make unnecessary costly
mistakes
