A new boat?

[scoobert]

a good boat were you don't hear the engines exists... but in the higher class...$$$$$$

trawlers do not make much noise, low revving diesels, good insulation

Ok, i have a twin setup in my sailboat but that is mainly for safety .... or cruising the Med when wind stops and some time schedule demands it... or want to reach a harbor within bad weather forcast.....it are also 2 low-rev diesels for low noise ....
Tilted all the time.... yes, a little bit as i've choosen a heavy displacement with big initial righting moment.... depending wind force i will be steady on 1 side , you will be rolling both.....

actually they have stablizer systems on large boats, they dont roll except in rough waves.

work ? no big deal , winches are overdone and long tacks give time....
always smaller ? given the same boat lenght , yes.... just choose your interior space you want and look what boat you're talking. Strange, you know, most people think living a boat in harbors....so why not the space as home... ok... but we found that once sailing a open interior space were you actually can fall is dangerous....so comfortly with grabs in reach ...

Also , a planing boat tracks himself steady in heavier wheather but i don't think we are discussing those gas spilling toys... :dontknow:

i am looking for 900-1400 SQft, i think that is 300-500SQ meters.

i have to admit, a cat was on my list, but i would need about a 70' cat for enough room.

i could do this one, if not for the 900,000 pricetag http://stfrancis50.com/home.html

what an awesome beautiful ship:rock: :rock: :rock:

& they are in the process of buildin a bigger, faster, better one :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

I really like the idea of the DynaRig... the absence of a (traditional) boom makes everything cleaner and the deck space more usable. The setup isn't a "pretty" as a traditional mast/spar/boom sailing rig, as Norbert pointed out.... but, it functions beautifully and is extremely easy to sail (especially for the yacht's immense size). :rock:

It was great..We started in Antigua for 4 days at a resort, got on the ship and were supposed to go to the southern islands but there was a hurricane coming so we ended up going west..the ship holds 120 but there were only about 40 of us...went to St John, St Maarten, St Barts, Stasia, Nevis, and one other I forget..I wanted to go snorkling, and had my stuff with me all week, but ended up sitting in some grocery store/bar, or gas station/bar every time..We sailed back to Antigua and stayed another 2 days..
Total cost of trip for 2?...about 3,000.00..off season...and let me tell you..we had one HELL of a time...I needed rehab after that..lol
I am trying to convince the wife to go on another cruise next year..or maybe go to Tortola, Yost van Dyke, and that area..she wants to go to Ireland though..lol
