funlovincriminal 163 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Looking to get out of the 1020 and replace with something suitable to take family to the islands next season. The 1020 is such a good boat that it's bigger Sister would seem a good way to go. Anyone have/know of one that may be coming up for sale? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duty Free 2 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hi--if still looking at 1220's get in touch with me at the end of September --away on holiday and then helping bring a boat back from Fiji ----considering my options . Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Sledge Hammer coming to market soon as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 163 Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Had a look at 1 with the Family and although it was a stunning example, and they tick a lot of the boxes for me, the size of the cockpit was a real turn-off for the misinster of profit disbursement and shoe acquisition. I see it as a good/safe offshore cockpit, she sees it as something where you can't stretch out to sunbathe 😅 I know of a couple that have sold recently for well under what you'd expect, I recall them being over $200k not THAT long ago.

LE Bb 25 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 buy a blow up island for the sunbather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duty Free 2 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I overcame that concern about cockpit size by regularly removing the wheel when we had more than the 2 of us on board--regularly have 6-8 in the cockpit --6 easily , 8 a squeeze-- when we have the wheel off--easy access through the boat to the duckboard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,587 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 We used to remove the wheel. Until I was brought on deck one night at 3 am by a thunderstorm with 50kn behind it. Angela went forward while I started the engine and put the wheel back on. Except in my haste I dropped the nut to the cockpit floor where it promptly disappeared down a cockpit drain. By this time Angela had the anchor up and was wondering wtf I was up to. Maybe take it off but put it back at bedtime? We were never brave enough to try again. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Although Island Time is a Phase 4 not a 1220, similar issue. I splashed out and bought a folding wheel... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duty Free 2 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Yes BP--that happened to us once when a squall came in while in Te Kouma---didnt lose the key but fumbled a bit ---now put the wheel back if any sign of weather but with the 2 of us its not an issue leaving it there --I would say that often the cockpit is to hot for sun bathing and thats why we have an awning up .
