Kevin McCready 83 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Would be cheaper to buy a good sleeping bag. Where are you camping? I wouldn't do any sailing either till the docs say so.

too_tall 15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 $5K for a liveaboard? thats a tall ask unfortunately. With a liveaboard you want most systems relating to the accommodation to be working - fridge, water, electrical. And you still want it to float... Anyone got anything more useful for the OP?

Disagree. I've seen little Coronet 20 recently that would be heaps better than a tent and the owner wants to sell before they go back to China in Dec. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
too_tall 15 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I hope that your correct Kevin. I don't tend to look at that end of the market, but I sure as hell would not like to be in a tent in this weather!. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
