Bored to tears - poor as a gypsy...

[Sean Herron]

Hello...

OK - I went the full circle - dinghy to cruiser - cruiser in 'mid life' - a lot of moorage payments for little use do to job and other commitments - you know the drill...

So lets do this...

A sailboat that costs nothing to very little to KEEP - sleeps two - camp cruiser on a trailer - 16 feet LOA MAX - smaller is better - no cumbersome multihulls...

Beach or slip launch - single burner cooker - good sized cooler - porta pooper - oars (with stowage) - 12V electrics with full nav. lights - proper outboard motor mounting - proper gas and propane tank lockers - draining anchor locker - non sweating hull interior (ventilation or coring) - full stretch sitting headroom (no bent knees) - fresh water for two for a two weeks annum vacation...

Something that is weatherly - something you would still use in a potential rain and wind storm - the weather reporters here have the easiest job of all - 'sunny with chance of cloud and potential rainshowers' - THANKS A LOT..

Something beyond the Peep Hen and other small Nimble bits or the British Comet...

Please post pics and dumb ass doodles...

The Herrishoff America .

EZ to sail in 6inches of water , can be beached at night , very simple to get on the usually supplied trailer. Can be towed by small car.

About $7000 US for a classic that will have about the same value whenever you pass it on.

Round trip ( price paid vs price resold) $0.00 , my kind of Yachting!
