Default Best small Cruisers Under 10K

You will also have trouble finding a folkboat under $10,000 that isn't junk.

btw dougies, wanna tell us how much more space a Hunter 19 has compared

to a
Folkboat?


Actually, the H-19 does have more room. Probably about the same stowage.
Here's a test... go aboard a Folkboat and invite two couples (average

sized
adults) to sit in the salon and have hot drinks. If you can lean back,

relax, and
not have somebody elses elbows or knees jutting into you, then the room is

at least
comparable.

However, I've been in a Folkboat and I don't see this happening...


How about passage miles difference between the two?


I calculated a few years back that we'd sailed 960 miles in the Hunter,

and made a
rough figure that we'd trailered it 15,000. We've probably at least

doubled that
since.

But of course, by your definition Hunter 19s never cruise. Which of course

leaves
on wondering how you explain this
