gday
i'm interested in buying a 30ft grp twin keel yacht as a live aboard
retirement option. i've spent most of my life in north australia where the
tidal variation is over 8metres so the twin keel design seems very
practical.

does anyone have any advice/tips/gotchas for a novice sailor in this
class. (offshore rig worker, handyman, old fart)

thanks in advance

You might get beter answers on the "uk.rec.sailing" newsgroup as
bilge-keelers are more popular in the UK.
