niggle Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Just for fun,what would your favourite boat be if funds were available.It`s not that I`m doing a fact finding mission but I always have a look at boats for sale on the web and just wondered wether others do? I`ll start off Pro Charter30 {Charlies is a cracker] Nige Quote
plaicemat Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Hmm, possibly an Albermarle 310 Express. Nice. Terry. Quote
niggle Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 Cor ,Terry its like a hotel inside Quote
Adam F Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 I'm always looking Nige! For me it would be the black hulled South Cat 38 we saw in Alderney last weekend. She was called Greeta and was regesitered to somewhere in the Netherlands - yes she was a 'charter' boat but she was fitted out in Yacht quality. Dripping in stainless - 3x KAB helmseats across the wheelhouse and a 3/4 length stern transom door. GORGEOUS!!! Wish I had taken a picture! Quote
Mike Fox Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Controversially....I've deliberately NOT given myself any ideas of a dream boat....as in the past this has caused me much dissatisfaction!!! Frisky ticks so many boxes for me, it's not true, and was bought following 14 years of boat ownership, and after a 3-year search for the right model - then the right example of that model. Yes, I'd like to replace some of the older fixtures and fittings that are looking tired, but am doing these progressively, and I have no plans or desire to change in the next 30 years or so. She's the right size for friends and family - or solo if needed, might be a little slow (but this allow me more time afloat), and has that "ideal" compromise between performance, accommodation and seaworthiness for our needs, and hopefully I should be able to moor her somewhere in retirement that doesn't break the bank....but that's a while off yet! Mind, there is an urge to have a Warrior 175 (or Raider 18) on a trailer as well.....but I think that's just being greedy. Mike Quote
great white Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks Nige Adam I think I have seen that one a few times in Weymouth, is it the one with double doors in the transom to launch the dinghy. If also has an awsome array of screens in the wheelhouse. Its registered in Finland. I would even swap Alfresco for that one. Not sure I am ready to swap her for a yacht, would swap the fuel bills though Charlie Quote
Paul J Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 I think i need 3 boats to tick all the boxes Bigger newer more powerful version of mine would be nice but i remain content with what i've got PJ Quote
mike02380 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 "Bigger newer more powerful" plus more expensive! sounds like the road to many people's dream boat Quote

duncan Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Botnia Targa 31 - I'm assuming I get given the boat but have to run it ... otherwise it would be a Nordhavn 86 (with a botnia targa 31 on the stern with one of Martins' next to it. Quote
Adam F Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 OMG!!! That is my new favourite!!! MMMmmmmmmm! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! I'd still have a South Cat for fishing! http://www.nordhavn.com/86/overview.php4 Quote
Mike Fox Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Impressive bits of kit the Targa 31...was on board one earlier this year, and was much impressed. Definitely the 4x4 of the sea, able to take almost anything the Channel could throw at it....and still get you home comfortably! Mike Quote
alun j. Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 You can't creep up on the bass in thede 'monsters' ! Quote

great white Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Dan worked on a Nordhavn last week He was so impressed with the engine room he took pictures to show me. even had a small engine for slow speed work instead of the main engine. Charlie Quote
Rob Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Pershing 115 to be greedy but the 46 would do - all so I have have an airbag in the anchor locker!!! Quote
duncan Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 OMG!!! That is my new favourite!!! MMMmmmmmmm! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! I'd still have a South Cat for fishing! http://www.nordhavn.com/86/overview.php4 glad you like it Adam - they are true 'ships'. at one point I had a plan involving a 47 , but right now I'll settle for Phaeton's tender!
