How does he do it? Dashew's new 77 foot powerboat cheaper to run than Beowulf.

In most villages worldwide that means per annum.

Yes thats how a layman understands it. (and many boaters too)
My 40 years of sailing and motoring have proven that dock sitting costs more than sailing.
That was even valid for a 50meter, 4000hp yacht on a several years circumnav.

Nobody said throwing around! Don´t put words in my mouth!
But of course for a guy like you is spending another 100$ on his hobby painful.

1000 baby, is not thousands, as you posted! And BTW Dashew said clearly that there was a difference between these boats, costwise!
We would not have this thread if not.

You don´t know much (if any) about sailing, and the Forum is well aware of that. But you tell us when the water boils!?

Marshmat,

For $2-5 million a good performance is a expected and as you say not available for most. Without a doubt when comparing it against other $2 million boats, its a winner, but Windhorse type performance can be achieved more cost effectively.

Oh, well, is it expected?

Go to your next marina and search the good performer amongst the 2 to 5 million boats!

Build a boat like Windhorse and show us you achieve better performance bigmouth. BTW it is not a $2 mio boat!
