Thanks for all the responses. �The reason I mention this boat, is because I
am looking for a trailerable boat, one that can house two to four people,
stopping at various small villages along the way, max. time would be two
weeks long.

The idea is to cruise up and down the west coast British Columbia, seeing
all the small villages that are there.

Do you guys think this boat would do the trick?

Yes. With a close eye on the weather, always erring on the side of
caution.Keep a flexible schedule and a willingness to "stay put" when
things are looking nasty, and stay out of the straits when conditions
aren't ideal. Pick up a copy of "Day by Day to Alaska" by Dale
Petersen. He has covered virtually all the coastal waters between
Seattle and Galcier Bay, Alaska in his trailerable C-Dory, ("Day by
Day"). The boat you are considering will be adequate for all but the
worst stretches on average or better days, but there are areas where
you will need to wait for much better than average conditions,
particularly in a boat of that displacement and design, to be
comfortable and safe in those waters.

Two people who are really friendly might survive such a trip. Four?
:)

We once owned a 27 foot Searay Sundancer (with aft cabin) which we
spent a lot of time on, including weekends and week long trips on the
Lake. Our kids were fairly young when we owned the boat and things
became a bit tight even though the kids were small. After a few years
of owning it we up sized to a 32 footer. Even with that larger boat
we were glad to head back home after a week on it with the 4 of us.

Yes, it's the age-old misperception. "Sleeps Four" doesn't always mean
that 4 will be comfortable or have enough personal space when not
asleep. Has to be one of the major reasons people "trade up"- it
certainly isn't to enjoy the greater expense and fuel burn of a larger
boat.


My Sandpiper 565 claimed to sleep 4 people.
They had better be super friendly. as it wasn't much better than a pup tent
with a small table in the middle.

Scott........this is a boating NG yet most posts from you, Loogie,
Reggie, JohnH and a couple of others seem to be asking folks to ignore
other folks.

If the tone of this NG is to improve the crap, bitching and whining
has to stop.
