Ok you say, makes sense
right? That's what we thought until we realized why most cruisers don't
own motorsailers. Motorsailers, at least those in our price range, just
did not have the interior room we needed and it cost more than we were
willing to spend to find one that both sailed and motored well.
Trawlers! Why hadn't we started there?
Have you ever considered just how many boats are for sale at any given time? All of them, that's how many. Now between Betsey and I we have owned just under twenty of the darn things in our lives so, you would think we could find one to suit our needs now wouldn't you? Its not that easy. If we were to design a boat that incorporated all the features we thought we needed, it would have four decks, be around eighty feet long, forty feet wide, draw eight inches of water and do forty knots while using no fuel at all. Not surprising that
this vessel didn't find us is it? What we did find was a well cared for,
older trawler that we fell in love with at first site. She is described HERE.
We quickly realized we didn't need all we thought we needed. We were
making the mistake of trying to take our previous life into our new one.
It took a while to understand this but when we did, it all became clear.
We no longer needed the "stuff" that comprised our old life.
We no longer had anyone to impress, nothing to prove, just a world to
discover. |
