Strike tri

Cherry 16 trailer sailer

Laser

Topper

P class

Optimist

2 kayaks

2tenders.

 

And considering a much larger boat for family holidays.

The Mrs always says I should start / join the BAA, Boat Addicts Anonymous, then I point out how many of the above list are hers....

 

To answer your question, there is no such thing as too many.

 

Actually, that’s not true, it’s too many when the admin and maintenance involved consumes all your time and you don’t get to use any of them.

You guys are making me feel inadequate... I'm down to two: Falcon Formula 16 cat and a Farr 3.7 in storage, but I topped out a few years ago at:

 

Harmonic 24

2 x Farr 3.7's

Falcon F16

Blade F16

 

...admittedly split between two different countries.

If you cut down your boat numbers then you just have to mow the lawn they were covering - and apparently cutting lawns is bad for the environment.  :wtf:

Farr 1220 plus 

an old rigid dinghy upside down outside slowly becoming part of the garden,

a falling apart old 2.6m RIB I'm not sure what to do with sitting in the carport where my car should be and 

a 2.6m rollup in good condition - the one we use.

 

Only a boat and an eclectic collection of tenders in different states of disrepair. Mmmm, reading you guys I think I need to expand the fleet somewhat to keep up.
