Sleeps six, but perfect for 2 to live on.


Only six? How long is your boat and what is it called?

No wonder you're a desperate woman - you chase all the
losers and couldn't recognize a winner if he fell into your
lap.

You could sleep a hundred, but only in 6 bunks.

42 foot, called RedCloud

Red Cloud - a particularly apt name for a steel boat.

Always surrounded by a cloud of red rust.

Perhaps that is true on any steel hull that you would maintain.

However Redcloud has an average of approx. 20 mils of paint. 13 mils
on the cabins 27 mils on the decks and 23 mils on the hulls. Applied
by a master steel preservation expert.....me.

I measured it just yesterday with my handy dandy Mikrotest Magnetic
Gage made in Germany by Elektrophysik-Koln.


Have you gauged the size of those blisters on your flimsy hull lately?

What's a few best liveaboard sailing vessels, under 55 feet and under 300K on
the used market?

I would build a steel hull like this one:

http://www.sailinglinks.com/images/RedCloud.jpg

Sleeps six, but perfect for 2 to live on. Strong enough that even you
will feel safe out in the deep water. Long cruising range, room for a
party in the cockpit and you all stay dry. Small enough to single
hand, yet large enough to be comfortable.

You can also buy some nice kits from Bruce Roberts.

Here in the marina is a sweet 62 foot aluminum ketch, But it's 335K.

Worried about the skin thickness? Forgotten to replace all those anodes
again?

Don't take her into the ocean. Those huge 'windows' won't make it.

Any boat as slow as Ella probably puts more than that
many people to sleep!

I asked Joe a simple question. Maybe you should take off those rose
colored glasses when you read my posts...or would that be mauve
colored glasses?

What winner? guffaw
