apex, reading and seeing al those golden oldies saying nothing, do want to let you know what my choice of a perfect passagemaker would be
i'm some sort of a golden oldie too but my taste goes more like what willallison posted, worse, i'll go cat, best motorsailing
yes for a multitude of reasons cats, so okay i'll shut up now

and while dreaming here some samples,

 

Thank you Slavi. I am not a friend of any online payment, no matter what. And I will never subscribe to such sites. I have enough spam in my mail accounts, no need for more. And every other month some idiot is asking me to confirm my account data for pay pal, and the like!
No, thanks.

Regards
Richard

 

Fortunately our tastes are different.

But I don not see just "Golden Oldies", there are three old fashioned and four contemporary designs amongst the choices, with the North Sea Trawler somewhere in between.

And Cats are sure not what I would call a passagemaker. Too uncomfortable the ride in all conditions except dead calm seas.
No thanks.

 

USS Olympia. Post deleted(nearly) for sake of thread integrity.

 

Beautiful Ship, reverse bow like Feadship, over 100 year old design comes back. Those naval engineers back then really worked on hulls to get max speed considering propulsion they had. Ship cost originally under 2 mil to build. A bit of money back then.

 

We are drifting quite a bit too far away now, at least for my taste.

 

there is one thing i like to ask again, what would be wrong with a little sail on the passagemaker?

 

Nothing, quite the opposite.

The Trawler could easily have a sail. The Gentlemans Yacht will have to wait for the next generation of Skysails Kites though.
