Re: Fat bottomed girls

Exact. That s why IMOCA have wide transom and twin rudders. They just do Vendee Globe in light weather upwind, and protected waters.

Of course, it exists.

I do not think Beneteau have something. Even shoal draft would be too deep.

Older Jeanneau in centerboarders versions like Sun Legend, Sun Kiss might fit. They should be...

Seems that Italia 11.98, X4³ mkII, or GS 44 do have rather wide transom, are single rudder, and do not have a very distorded hull ...

And are even good to very good sailboats ...

If your backstay is 10mm wire, you need something with a breaking load above 75kN, and a working load around 40 to 50 kN.

On a hydraulic ram, with forces above the working load, a over-pressure...

On maintenance costs for older boats, I think there is a considerable lucky factor and psychological factor. Far more important than a difference in boat age (25-40 years) or length (32"-38")

Re: German Made Sailboats with Raised Deck Saloon Designed for Long Distance Cruising

This is my strictly own opinion :

For a 40 footer, the Sirius is a very good seaworthy and comfortable sailboat.

For a 750 k€ sailboat, the Sirius sucks. A near 20 tons 54 foot Hanse 548 is...

For ISO STIX (STability IndeX in ISO/EU rules), now with near 20 years of proven history, the main factor of seaworthiness is the length.

The base value...

Re: Largest bilge keel boat trailerable in EU

In France, you can find the Biloup 77.

But beware : advertised manufacturer displacement is between 1500-1800 kg.
Real displacement is around 2000-2500 kg.

On a boat with HVAC, you can stop the HVAC and open portlights and hatches if weather allows it.
