Great little boats, have fun!

C&C24, easy singlehand (no roller needed, I just used a downhaul), sails well, bags more interior than most other 24 footers. I loved mine.

Not really surprised considering how we treat their whanau.
Must have had to get one fuckload of hoops over a bottle to get those, all I ever got off those carnie bastards was a goldfish with a lump on its head.
(for the record, I abhor keeping these intelligent majestic creatures in captivity)

My wife is terrified of sailing.

Or a C&C24, not so trailerable but fun to sail, and probably the most cruiser-friendly interior in that size.

There’s more than a dozen of them in my club. Excellent daysailers /weekenders for their size, and they still race OD in many European countries, too. Only issues are: no reef line (in OD configuration), and iron keels. So be prepared to work with traveller and backstay and look for signs of rust regularly. You can’t go wrong with a H-Boat.
That davit looks a bit oversized, neat little RC model hanging off though

I don't think stainless likes to be deprived of oxygen, although in this application it probably doesn't matter much. How about a titanium washer? Not sure what the wear characteristics are compared to stainless, but it'd be cooler.

Vintage, classic. Not two words I've ever heard when used to describe a Reinell. Also not seen a skylight on a sailing boat before.

Heh, we all get them. I always think of them like this:
Securite: "Hey something you want to look out for"
Pan Pan: "Heads-up, shit might be going down here"
Mayday Mayday: "Shit went down, help!"

PAN PAN is good for any non life threatening event, if for instance someone came across the boat still floating they could issue a Pan Pan call to advise of a vessel at location XY drifting this way as a danger to navigation.
That would be a Securite securite no?

Consider also a C&C27, they sail properly, are roomy below, can often be found with a diesel inboard, plus they were built well - tough little boat.

When I bought my Maserati a few months ago at the Maserati Bentley dealership, I was (of course) taken to the finance manager's office, to get pressured to buy a warranty and lending products providing the dealership with appropriate
kickbacksincentives."Nope, just run my debit card." The manager was dumbfounded. I asked, "Don't most purchasers of Bentleys and Maseratis just pay cash?" And her response: "No, nobody. Everyone leases."
Should have stretched to a warranty, you'll probably need it.

I'd sure hate to be tacking that thing in big seas. Running across that wide hull would be justplain scary. No dodger and no bimini either.
Pretty sure this boat is never going to be doing that. Also, too much sausage, look like a bunch of dock hands from some snooty Yacht club in their matching shorts and polos. Wankers.

Less is more
Well, I'll give it a go but not sure what the back of the boat will think. Pretty sure my ass will chafe on the rail in that too.

Thin, light, flexible, strong, buoyant, waterproof, breathable, warm. Seems like a big ask.

Yeah... no.
It's like a shit version of James and the Giant Peach, Bubba and the Big Pickle.

Which of your designs do you fucking hate now?

Have you spoken to a good sailmaker/designer about it? If not, drop me a PM and I'll send you one that I'd trust to give you good advice.

I like the tie-down chains in case it blows away in the wind. All 25 tons of it.

Neat boat, if I had the time/money to fix her up then I would. But sadly I don't, already have plenty enough projects on the go. I hope someone saves her.
-
I've stockpiled 25000 bog rolls down below, can't get into my boat to switch the main battery on now, so yeah, it's affected my sailing.

Got the engine bay tidied up and painted and the replacement engine in. Just need to get it all reconnected and should be good to go.

Sadly the museum had to relocate/store most of their wonderful boats, Tilikum, Trekka etc. a few years back when they lost their home in the amazing old courthouse in Victoria, BC - it was a fantastic museum and historic building. They've bounced around a few small places since, I've lost track, but it'd be great to see the boats again, I had the pleasure of wandering around on Trekka, it didn't take long!
