Come on! Sir Clewley suggest us to compare to a 1886 design. He has hit the wrong page here. Maybe slightly demented and was looking for something else?
@@MrGentlebutfirm Maybe he's just trying to sell a boat ;) At a glance the ALUBAT is gorgeous and probably moves pretty darn good. I just don't know who a boat this size is for. It's to big to single hand in an emergency and it's to small for a corporate yacht type deal with a crew...you 'd need a family of sailors or be able to afford a crew member for your "couples" boat.
I agree. I try to keep my wife under 50 feet for our circumnavigation years ahead. We did the Europe-Caribien-Europe tour in a 39 footer. I like no more than 45 feet for the two of us.
