It’s a Friday morning, I should be working from home but the temptation is to once again search the web for my first sail boat as I’m coming to the end of my Day Skipper course and can’t wait to get out into the Solent. This time under sail rather than buzzing around in my little speed boat with a 70HP burning way too much in fuel every minute!
I’ve settled on a Corribee or a Hunter Europa, both small and everyone seems to speak well of them. Out of the two I would be happiest with the Corribee.
Anyway, as I said, I should be working. But I’m not, as by chance I came across your website and I’ve now spent the last two hours reading and re-reading all your entries. WHAT A GREAT READ !!!
It’s made my decision easier – it will have to be a Corribee !! Unfortunately they don’t come cheap. A Europa in good condition seems to be around the £2k mark, a decent Corribee about twice that, so I’d better bet back to work and start saving!
Once again thanks for the great read and I’ll be checking on your site on a regular basis.
Cheers,
Mike
