So, you've got a limited budget, the Zombie Apocalypse is upon us, which low cost lead mine do you choose, to shoot off on a round the world, or far way from all this bollox trip do you choose, linkys please.. It's moving up the agenda.

19ft? I was hoping to survive an Atlantic Crossing, thought that required 28ft to be comfortable, although my knowledge of lead mines is sketchy, I think it needs something a tad bigger.. ------------- https://www.corekite.co.uk/snow-accessories-11-c.asp" rel="nofollow - Snow Equipment Deals https://www.corekite.co.uk" rel="nofollow - New Core Kite website |

28ft? You looking for luxury - you'll be demanding a sauna next. 10ft is plenty: http://www.startribune.com/july-24-1979-across-the-atlantic-in-a-10-foot-sailboat/363085891/" rel="nofollow - http://www.startribune.com/july-24-1979-across-the-atlantic-in-a-10-foot-sailboat/363085891/ (probably helps to be insane beforehand) ------------- Peter Ex Cont 707 Ex Laser 189635 DY 59 |

We once met an American lad in Durban RSA who had sailed all the way from the Great Lakes (Chicago?) in a Hunter 19 with his German Shepherd dog. How on earth he took the dog for a walk remains a puzzle. ------------- OK 2249 D-1 138 |

Open 60 and foil across. Rather defeats the object as you get there is 5 days, but you might get lucky and snap the foils, lose the rig and have to get across under jury rig taking several weeks.
Otherwise, Contessa 32. ------------- Firefly 2324, Puffin 229, Minisail 3446 Mirror 70686 |

Lot of disparity in those Contessa 32 prices, what would one look out for, is it the age, or the equipment they come with I wonder?

Didn't think you wanted to haggle  thought you wanted to escape at all costs, you will need to be armed, pirates will be after your loo rolls.------------- Robert |

Listen to the opening statement and I think we know who iGRF is modelling himself on and his grand expedition. Don't buy a boat iGRF, build it out of Reed Grass... like a real man. ;-) ------------- http://www.uk3-7class.org/index.html" rel="nofollow - Farr 3.7 Class Website https://www.facebook.com/groups/1092602470772759/" rel="nofollow - Farr 3.7 Building - Facebook Group |
