Spring is coming ...

In article , says... Doesn't seem like a boat heavy enough to offer any comfort or feeling of safety in anything but flat calm seas. To where would you cruise...from one side of a small lake to the other side? You certainly would not want to be out in a choppy bay. A 38' boat should handle chop. Can't say anything other than that. It could be busy in heavy seas. Probably no more uncomfortable than a similar sized heeling sail boat. I guess it pitches, rolls and yaws like every boat, but more. You can't have everything. The motion in all planes would be worse than a cruising sailboat with a keel. Speaking of which, if you don't want to burn fuel and you aren't in a hurry, why not just get a decent sailboat with an aux. engine? Even a sailboat smaller than what you are discussing here would be far more comfortable and safe. There are plenty of solid used sailboats around with good surveys and lots of life left in them, and fairly simple systems compared to similarly sized powerboats. |
