Questions about

yes the sadler does have bilge keels but some boats are fitted with fin keel and ive seen one with a tandem keel.

the chart table is fine for the charts we have. but i think you can get bigger charts than the ones we use, im not sure.

Kapro,

my dad is nearly 50 and takes us on the cruiser (sadler 29, think its about 9m) any weekend he can. we stay onboard the whole weekend. in the holidays we sometimes go to france or to the west country for a few weeks. so we stay onboard anywhere from a day to 3 weeks. and god is it boring.

is this what you wanted to know?

Teeeheee... I wondered how long it would take until someone picked it up

Yes, It's in Sanguinet, near arcachon and Biscrosse. 

To express beter myself about this project, here is a photo of a typical "grand-pa boomers ^^", in order to illustrate our clients.

60 years old approximatly...
Global market in pleasance sailing.
9 meters long.

Do you know some english persons who do regulary sailing in Manche near the english coasts, and the duration of their saling? 1,2,3 days?

Personaly, I've got a little Jeanneau (5.60m long) and it's a soft sailing boat to visit the britany's coats, but I never stay more than an afternoon inbord... I've got a small 4.35 La prairie to make more sportive regatas ^^.

What is interesting us today is the 9m sailing near the english coast... (not any datas about this market and the users...even with my questions asked at the "route du rhum" at home, in britany.... :p)

Thanks for your interest. (english is easier to speak than to write corrrectly )

What I seek, it is to know how much days in general the “Grandpa boomers” which use livable boats of 9m Jeanneau style, Dufour, RM or other put for their transfered at sea at broad of the English dimensions. Time is less lenient than on the Atlantic dimension, therefore can be that Ca wants to say that there are constraints of rain, of wind etc more important etc That will enable us to precisely determine the important points of typical English navigation."

Ah well, that's it: crystal clear, I'm out of a job...
