Boat for camping in

Ubbquittious · 2022-08-20 09:40:07

I have a 4.5m rib but would like to get something I could sleep in for a few days but still handles well at sea. All I see is old shetlands but I'm slow to buy these as I've read horror stories of the transom being rotten and the hull soaking up water but a similar boat to that might be ok. Any similar boats that might do…

There is a sealed bid auction on Monday for a nice weekender - Expected to go cheap despite a full refit in 2020. https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/axioma-yacht-goes-up-for-auction

Well spotted but I was hoping for one that would at least get close to 30kt and wouldn't need quite as many fellas pushing to get it back in the water after beaching on the shores of an uninhabited island
