Love Boat Funny Boating Accidents

I grew up in a fishing town as a son of a Commercial Fisherman.

Although I didn’t take up fishing as a profession, I spent lots of hours in a boat while growing up.

I have owned a few boats in the past. I had a 16 feet Fiberglass boat with an outboard on it for a while and later I had a 25 feet inboard for a while.

It’s the same with boats. Believe it or not, the average length of yachts doing world cruises is around 30 feet, and a lot of them are being sailed by just one couple. Once you get the 30 feet mindset, you will find that prices will almost certainly accommodate your limited budget. In my local market of Australia there are plenty of boats available for under ,000, and some under ,000, if you drop down to a 28 foot yacht.

Are you looking at second hand / used vessel?
Given that the average boater only gets out on the water about once a month it is likely that many of the pre-owned yachts for sale on the market will be in pretty good condition. A very wise option is to have a professional assessor thoroughly look over a potential yacht for you. A qualified assessor can help identify if any structural damage is due to wear and tear or likely to impact the performance of the boat, if other obvious repairs have been done correctly and by quality repairers and not quickly covered up, what the condition of the hull is like, if there is any internal / external rust that needs attention, and if the boat has durable and robust ropes and rigging.

I noticed that there was one plug “extra” but I couldn’t find another drain hole so we launched. We got on board and I fired up the engine. We backed out into the canal and I idled out past the no wake zone.

I then punched it to get the boat on top of the water to plane. But, the boat was acting sluggish and the stern was not getting on top but was actually acting heavy. I slowed down the engine and walked around the inside of the boat.

Have you considered boat share?
This is a new and excitingly option that allows you to enjoy a boat at a fraction of the cost of sole ownership. It allows you to share the cost of owning and maintaining a vessel amongst several other owners. This a fantastic idea for people new to sailing and yachting as it provides you with an affordable way to become familiar with the sport while also giving you a chance to decide if sole ownership of such a vessel is something you wish to embark on. If you enjoy sailing, cruising or racing on the open waters but do not have the time and money to support your own boat or yacht, then the boat share option is definitely something to look into.

Thorough research is certainly advisable prior to purchase and will ensure that your money is well spent on a boat / yacht that you can be confident in using out on the open water
