Kell boat shorter than 4m?

The Illusion struggles to cope with the sea state in Bembridge Harbour, due to its low free board, at times. It would not cope with anything other that sheltered water IMHO.

If there wasn't going to be anyone in it you could fill in the cockpit. I don't think either boat is particularly dry, so some from of automatic bilge pump would probably be required.
Millimeter and Defender 12 were other variations on the theme. I think the main difference is that the 2.4m doesn't have a spinnaker where as the others do.

http://www.miniopen.de/ offer an offshore style boat.

2.4m probably offers the easiest availability.

How about

or if you are planning a round the world trip how about this:

Or if that is too large, how about this:

OK Philipp, spill the beans. What are you planning to do then?

Originally posted by philipp. Hello! I am searching for a keel boat with an overall length shorter than 4m. I have already found the illusion and 2.4m R boats. Do you know more boats that match this criteria? What would you say comparing illusion and 2.4mR: What are the main differences? And which boat will be better for strong winds and severe offshore conditions? (No worry it would be unmaned) I am looking forward for your answer! Thanks!

Are you planning to sail her via computer from your bed? Best way of sailing offshore that I can think of!
