Hmmm, aaahh... big ? Well it should be big enough, small enough, wide enough but most importantly it should suit the budget. The bigger the better, but I'm not quite swimming in nicely coloured bank issued notes, so I have to be realistic, which is allready very hard. I have settled on a 8.8m catamaran so far, maybe this will change, but at the moment I consider it to be a bit too much for the (future) budget and a bit too small to be really safe, 8.8m should do ok. What type? Well, it is going to be an open deck (hopefully) fast cruiser with some minimum accomodations. Considering most of time will be spent on the deck the accomodations can be minimum, I can do well without too much comfort, however others don't. Any boat is a compromise between comfort, performance, cost and styling. I'm planning for a way to be able to close up the deck space with a soft canopy like shell, in order to be protected from sun/rain/moderate wind and spray. I want the boat to be as ligth as possible within the budget, strong, practical and to be possible to have it disassembled on rare occasions.
