Hi all. I have validly been on mobo and yottie forums but this is my first time on the stolen boat forum. Has anyone any recommendations of a good starter boat for me to steal? Should i pinch a really big boat straight off, or start with a small tender perhaps? All advice gratefully received.

judging by the post by raven ,a catermeran,work out how it runs and away you go, might be worth taking a long oar with you just in case you end up having to scull or is it skull, it

Start as you mean to go on, but make sure that they are stealable in matched pairs....

Ooh I'd have thought a Leopard would do, nothing too big of course.

Hiya newbie
A lot of people make the mistake of nicking too big a boat to start with, and end up abandoning an otherwise promising hobby. Start with a dinghy - a visit to your local sailing club after 'lights out' will be rewarding and you can progress onto bigger things as you master the basics
Don't be deceived by the old hands on here into thinking it's difficult, but be aware that you'll never stop learning

If Leopard looks too much of a handful for a starter theft, how about Mojomo? You should manage to get well away before the owner misses her as rumour has it that not all marbles fully in place. New Yorkers can confirm this. Also since a certain train incident, the boys in blue not likely to rush to help search.....

Welcome Newbie. Now stealing boats need some serious Consideration. Before you take the Plunge.(unless you have a dinghy to assist) consider the disposable element. IE, getting shut if the "Heat" is on . Checking out My "Glasses Guide" for used and nearly new Boat Values and Demand. The following ,having double checked ,through YBW Forai. info comes to light. DON'T TOUCH a Trader or a Baverian. Some Traders as you know can be a bit dodgy. I am ex motor trade and know about Traders. Bavarians are Foreigners. Oh! sorry that's Barbarians. Like Atilla the Hull, oops sorry Hun. Like a hull, but Huns can stick ter yer like glue. Anyway good hunting yer little tea leaf. tcm? Thieving. Creepy. M (help yerself)!
