Sailing Boat / Small Cruiser - Suggestions Please.

FirstinLastout · 2019-07-29 11:34:13

Currently my wife and I are engaged in sailing lessons, volunteering as crew/ballast wherever possible to gain the experience prior to getting our own small cruiser, hopefully in time for next year. So with that in mind can anyone make any suggestions as to boats, or boat types that we should consider? Ideally we'd use it…

Anyone remember this 36ft ketch when she was in DL, I believe she's been on Derg for years?

Bit of a bump to this thread as I thought some might be able to give an indication, ballpark only, of the following;

Haulage, how it's calculated etc.
There's a few 26ft ish possibilities that I may consider sitting on their cradles that'd need collecting & moving to Sligo.

Although there are a few Sonata's & similarly sized boat going that might make the more sensible option.

Craining/Lifting in. I imagine that this is likely arranged for a given day at a club's location... but as the club is currently in hibernation I thought I'd enquire here as well.

Thanks again folks, great help & advice.
