What do you mean "Modern yacht designs are uncomfortable"?
      24/06/2008 20:21

For our next boat, I am looking in a new direction for us, mainly for onboard living space.

Were used to the traditional style cruising yacht hull shape, solid all weather types, but really we don’t need one to take us safely round the southern oceans etc.. just marina to anchorage now and then with say 2/3 day sailing stints max.
We have an interest in say the Legend (36,38 or41) style or say a SO but never sailed in anything like this.

Thing is people say they get a bit uncomfortable if out in a bit of a swell, what do they mean – with the flatter bottom is it bumpy, banging or teeth crashing – what’s a bit of a swell? Force 4, 8?

What about holding on to things (there very wide and open), or are all these aimed at creating fear.



I mean, they cant be that bad surely, or no one would ever leave the marina in one.

I’m coming about - DUCK!
