I have a 22 ft alum fish/ski. It has a great deal of freeboard, sail area, if you like, and it is big when you are trying to get it from the trailer to the dock. There are 24 or even longer boats that catch less wind, but its docking it unaided what makes it big. It _is_ bigger than nearly all the local boats. Casady A friend had a 28' boat and sailed all over the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean with it. The only problem is that short boats are slower and size does limit how much "stuff" you can haul. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Yeah, it's stuff comprised of convenience items, additional safety gear, passengers, what else? I guess it's a comfort zone issue. Some people aren't concerned with what others would consider the bare minimum. I don't know many cruisers that care much for extra passengers, except for short trips but the "stuff", that's the problem. Extra this and extra that; can anyone throw away a perfectly good, used, headsail sheet that was just removed after ten years of use? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
