They will outshine most boats SAILING, if they are good porn LOL...and it is about sailing we are talking about. <br /><br />Many of these boats do the med season and the Caribbean season and that's what they owners want. Certainly they are not designed for cold climates but their owners are not interesting in freezing on remote places, just in having fun sailing Paulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910018730823789405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-48668489374769305672016-10-28T03:32:08.799+01:002016-10-28T03:32:08.799+01:00I think for real passages, the porm boats are tota...I think for real passages, the porm boats are totally inadequate. They are great for week end sailors and will outshine the others in the marina. Otherwise, they are useless for the money. I would not take one out on long voyage.

My dreamed boat is a daysailer very fast full of carbon fiber and racing sails, but I want to sail with just 2 or 3 friends, not a full professional crew.José Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570641228750919628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-43712127344880264562014-11-17T18:16:25.197+00:002014-11-17T18:16:25.197+00:00The closest thing regarding that is a Wauquiez Opi...The closest thing regarding that is a Wauquiez Opium 39:<br />http://www.wauquiez.com/en/opium/opium-39<br />They had plans to do a bigger boat on that concept but it seems they given up.<br />There is an used one for sale here:<br />http://www.diamond-yachts.de/deliver.php?id=348Paulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910018730823789405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-80451864382844783802014-11-17T18:05:11.464+00:002014-11-17T18:05:11.464+00:00I'm sure that they are very fast boats.

I'm currently living aboard so that may be why I'm thinking along these lines.<br /><br />The 'thin' ones don't have enough creature comforts for me, there is something stark and uninviting about the interiors.<br /><br />This is all hilarious as I'll never be able to afford any of them, so why torture Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-87204084105019917392014-11-17T03:01:49.320+00:002014-11-17T03:01:49.320+00:00Thanks Grant,

But then there is the pleasure of driving and owning a beautiful thing and what is live without those pleasures?<br />IPaulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910018730823789405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-70516823144798510772014-11-16T20:46:02.792+00:002014-11-16T20:46:02.792+00:00If I really wanted to buy a boat that size, I'...If I really wanted to buy a boat that size, I'd always still opt for the HR or amel, oyster or whatever.<br /><br />They're very good at what they do I think, they can provide 'home'.<br /><br />Those other boats are for posing.<br /><br />Love your site, one of my bookmarks now.
