So, imagine you've had enough of it all and want to bugger off, maybe single handed, and you have a sub £40 grand budget, with the idea of maybe a bit of stooging around the med, then perhaps the Arc and winter in the Caribbean, what would you go for...

On a serious note check out the Lavezzi 40 from FP. In this economy you could pick an old one up for a little over 80k (€100k) which is £40k in prorata terms of 'wife budget' in dinghy land. Just scale up... And hide the receipt.

There a thousands of answers to that question but here are a few:
Hanse 292, 300 or 301. All based on the Aphrodite hull shape which goes very well. £34000 would pic up a nice example. Small and simple enough to sail singlehanded but will sleep 6. Could also look at Halmatic 30, Moody 31, Albin Ballad, GK29 |

So something around 30', is that long enough to comfortably deal with anything that gets chucked at it, Atlantic wise?
So try the question differently what would you buy and why? |
