    This is worth re-quoting and re-reading for those who have not done so already. There is a deep culture of not capsizing boats in the small-traditional boat crowd here in the US, I imagine the same...

    This is surprising, but true. Preparation for 1 night at anchor vs. a week on the boat is largely the same. The only thing that changes is potable water and food.

    No way my boat is 330lbs. Built out of sapele or meranti plywood, I think. Possibly closer to 500lbs just for the hull.

    I really like the CY in "rowdy" conditions. She is dry, even without side...

    I agree with 1st paragraph but I'm trying to make sure we are all on same page.

    Are we? It seemed Joost was definitely onboard with 2 for sleeping.

    This is where our experiences differ and consequently what we are looking for in a boat. I am mostly sleeping aboard on an anchor, hopefully in a bay or a cove somewhere. The strategy is to find...

    I got a carbon mast for the CY. I am never going back. It's the best thing I did, especially with a large lug rig. The mast does not bend, so I can get sufficient luff tension, and striking the mast...

    The Goat is a boat I wish I had back just because it's so easy to trailer and fun to sail. I think it was a fine one-person camping boat if the sailer was/is camping ashore. In a pinch and with...

    Apologies about the late reply!

    Somewhere around 125kg to 145kg depending if you count floorboards, benches, flotation foam, etc.

    Heavier than the Goat, obviously, but built for a very different mission. Stable, large,...

    RE: Vivier weights-- they are Euro weights, all up, with all required equipment. They are not bare hull weights.

    ILUR sails fast and rows effortlessly. They are incredible, seaworthy boats.
