Bonnezzi Contender with all the trickiest-tricked-out gear, heck, I'd have Harken underpants if the budget was limitless..... a boat sooooooooo beautiful but also FAST that it may mean a new pair of very dark Oakleys just to look at it (and of course it will look good tied up behind the Oyster 575!)

I reckon £30 mil would get burnt pretty quick in a TP52 or Volvo campaign. In AC terms, I reckon £30 mil would last a few weeks...

I was thinking of maybe moving to one of the Italian lakes and getting a completely mad lake multihull built. And I'll take a fleet of Fireflies with me to introduce a decent tram racing boat so they can throw the 420's away!
The really scary thing is that 30 mil won't get you started on an America's cup campaign... |

Win the Euromillion draw, and I reckon you buy a whole fleet of them to equip your club...

I'd buy a barn or an industrial unit as a workshop and storage for the current fleet then add more old and unusual boats as they appear on the market. And a 59er for modern fun. And find a decent lake for them with no boat licencing :-(
Might even be enough for that second mortgage you need to join Parkstone. Then retire of course, so there'd be time to sail! Edited by patj - 30 Sep 10 at 7:50pm |

You need a go in an Asbo..
If you think a five oh is fast and forgiving. I'll make another carbon wash through version and give you it to try, if you liked it you could have it, with 30 mil? I could give loads of them away. Then we'd have a neat class.

Yep there are two of us Grumpf. Both of us are fat, but very hansom. Why a 505, well its simple really. Its just the best boat i have sailed. Its fast and forgiving, the quality of the fleet is second to very few (if none) and its one of the few 'Fast' double handers a fa bloke can sail!! As for the 300, well it wouldn't really be a 300 would it?!! Naked carbon hull and deck (hot in the summer) T-foil rudder and more modern/efficient sail. The 300 IMO is still the best looking single handed dinghy, it looks as fresh as the day it was launched and once mastered is just fantastic. The good thing about making my own interpretation on the design is i don't have to put up with the RS bull sh*t!

I would keep all the boats I have, then I would add a musto, so I could make a fool of myself being unable to sail it.
