    except invading places?

    Oh I do like Godwin's law sometimes but I got the Kaiser in there as well.

    Cheer up MF seems to be taking an interest in Sailors, you might be in luck.

    The Polizei were sailing around the lake at the weekend in all! What are the like, rules for everything.

    That, and in a gentle breeze you can be doing 15knots and leave your gin on the table without spilling a drop

    A boat to match your car, surely....?

    Last time I was sailing it was this Lipari 41:

    Mano there's some rather large looking hulls there, guess you've got access to open water from that marina?

    There's some electric motor options I've seen too but I really enjoy sailing, at one with the elements and all that.

    Sails are a pain in the arse. Engines all the way.

    My local marina (five mins walk from the house). My Hardy 25 is the 6th one up on the line on the right....

    No plans for a trailer, it'll have to be brought in the manufacturer. I've seen larger yachts in the lake, which looking out of place but usually because of the large cabin. I prefer the open space on deck myself.

    The day sailor I used with my girls at the weekend, which was pretty fast actually 8knots and emotions started to increases - but as soon as you get more than 4 adults onboard it's cosy. I like the idea of entertaining from time to time was something bigger.

I've been looking for something appropriate.... there's a berth available in at Marina walking distance away, I'd be taking the office down their the noe if I had something parked up.

    My fav so far. Even has a BBQ

    very nice Scoots

    very good taste

    from the specs it's heavy though and you won't get it on a trailer behind the Cayenne

    Milan.

    I much prefer smaller dinghies for day sailing.

    However I am normally on inland water or very close to the coast - I imagine if you are going further afield you may need something larger - like that thing in your picture.
