Sailing Fair Isle's video: Choosing a boat for cruising

Different boats for different folks... or just different situations! A good weekend boat doesn't necessarily make a good cruising boat. In this video we go through our decision making process in finding a boat for cruising and what we've learned in the three years we've been living aboard. What layout is best, what sail plan should you go for and what extras should you fit for long term cruising? We try to answer these questions and also point out some things that are best avoided. There is no such thing as the perfect cruising boat, but in order to have as good an experience as possible and stay safe it's good to get as close to perfect as possible. We think we've found what's right for us. It won't be right for everyone though so you need to understand what you expect your boat to deliver and plan to get something that gets as close as possible to that expectation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've enjoyed this please support us by subscribing it costs nothing but helps us get seen: PLEASE SUBSCRIBE : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjJH... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You Tube are now putting mid -role adds on videos, but there is a way to see the current videos with no adds at all before they get released to the public.
