Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

My rigging was about €3000, 8mm 19x1, but the short mast helps keeps the price down.

I used OneSails for my main. Vantage 1 filmless laminate (pic attahced). I've been getting quotes now for the...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

People in the UK often think USA is cheap and that we get a raw deal in Europe, but many things are actually cheaper in Europe. Rigging is one example, sails/sailmaking is another ($2000 more for my...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

It's not a 27' version so not really in any demand. You can but an average condition 26' one for about £12,000 which is less than you'd pay to get this back to former glory.

However the title of...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

I almost bought a Commanche 32 instead of what I have now. A well taken care of is a good and reasonably quick cruiser without topple-overness of the older MK 1 Iroquoi. Due to the layout, stern...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

The Boatyard stole parts from the boat? That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't you name and shame so other don't leave their boats unlocked there?

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Multihulls like any boat just need to be kept within their design parameters. I think people mis-interpret what keeping it light means.

If the boat is designed to carry a (conservative) maximum...

Re: Crowther Buc 35 in PNW $18,500

I'd love a tri, but other than the Neels, they are all too small, dark, or dingy, or old designs for me to consider a liveaboard. The irony of it is, I own a 1977, Prout. haha.

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Love this. They post a bout for sale at £60-70k below the market price for a good one. No images other than something taken on a 2005 flip phone and the line "The boat does need a little interior...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Commanche 32 here along with their Youtube channel. The Commanche is a nice boat but this particular one needs work. I viewed it before the youtube couple bought it and posted about it somewhere on...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Nothing even remotely similar.

I bought a Prout Snowgoose 35. So much much slower, older, and well a completely different type of boat. She will do me for a few years yet before I outgrow her.

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Is that a Beneteau Blue II?

Sounds like a bargain at £27k even if it needs another £20k work. I was looking for one before I bought my current boat, but even the poor condition ones were closer...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

€5000 is cheap. Even if you need to spend another 10k. Too small for me though.

I'm looking for something with standing room in the saloon, diesel engine, and around 30-35' in length.

I seem...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Theres a Heavenly Twins 26 on Gumtree in the UK. Just an hour down the road from me.

Was considering viewing it, but I'd want the 27, and this one has a 10bhp outboard, which wouldn't suit my...

Re: Cheap Multis and Projects

Has anyone seen a Prout Quest 33 / Event 34 or even better a Beneteau Blue II for sale in Europe? They all seem to be rare as.
