Sorry
...I think I got mixed up during the posts and thought Rob, not Jeff, was selling the Nauticat. Sorry about that. Well, Jeff, if I ever manage to liquidate the funds with which I plan on buying discussed yacht, Towser looks like exactly what I would be looking for. She/he (? not sure - Towser is a m...

Nice
Just had a quick look, Rob, and, yes, she looks, at first glance, very appealing to me. Always liked the look of the ketch rig, for some reason. (Ignorance showing again.) What exactly is she? Do have any interior pics?

What about steel
Thank you for the advice, and it does sound good. I've certainly got nothing against GRP. How can I have? I've never sailed seriously and - as was mentioned I think - countless people have safely crossed the world's toughest seas in GRP hulls. So who am I to question their wisdom? At the risk of bre...

Worried Now
Got to admit, you've worried me there, Rob. Can a professional surveyor be relied upon to sort the wheat from the chicken wire?

Excellent website
That ferrocement website you gave me a link to, Rob, is brilliant. I don't know, the boats on there just 'feel' right to me. Obviously, I'll do a lot more research first. Thanks for your help.

Good Advice
Hi, Rob, Thank you for your reply and advice. I will certainly do as you suggest and create a list of my most desirable features of a yacht, but I have one question I'd like to address first, as it seems to me to be perhaps the biggest by far (though I could easily be wrong).

Where To Start
Hi, All my life, I have dreamt of owning my own yacht. At the approaching-sell-by age of 48, this finally may be a possibility. Even with the grace of God, my yachting career is not likely to be more than 20 years or so, and therefore I don't have the luxury of learning the ropes by years of experie...
