Are you sure your draft is just 0.9?

The hernia procedure went well so i will be heading back home on my boat at Airlie Beach north Queensland Australia. Next week i am going to do a small replacement on deck just a simple project to keep things moving. The link to my video log is SV GEMSTAR. There is a video i made last week. Hope you get time to look at it.

Nice video, on looking at a boat with a bit more room I would look at some other models of 30-32 ft first, even some 29 footers offer a good deal of internal space. The Westerly Konsort being a good example, really good association for any issues you might have and invariable these hulls are of sound construction. Thanks for the mention, for a first year afloat you've done a good few trips...some don't leave the marina...or the bar for that matter, each to their own

Decisions decisions! We started sailing five or six years ago with a little 23ft bilge keeler out of Falmouth. Just the two of us and the occasional son. After several seasons learning the lines and cruising between Dartmouth and the Scillies on a very basic boat we changed it for a late 80’s Beneteau Oceanis 320. So much more space and comfort which we both appreciate. A boat a few feet longer might give more space but then you start increasing the cost of maintenance and storage/berthing. And in our case with just two of us, apart from a few days of the season, the space below deck is perfectly fine.
Whilst ours has previously done the Atlantic circuit twice, it’s not something we aren’t ever likely to attempt, coastal sailing and cross channel hops is enough for us and a boat of this size copes with that easily. We were lucky in that despite being an older boat it was in very good condition and whilst we have put some new sails on and replaced the standing rigging the rest has just been cosmetic work which gives me something to do over the winter.
Would we still be sailing if we hadn’t changed the boat? Probably, but would we swap back, no. Do we envisage upsizing? Not without a darn good reason, we just don’t feel the costs are justified given our use case.
Enough waffle, good luck with whatever you decide to do and we all look forward to being able to sail to and from our destinations more next season.
