Going Dutch ?

In reaction to camarons entry on going dutch
Some advice: Make friends with someone who has a boat. It's a lot easier.
My father bought a Westerly Centaur last year this is the picture : MVC-027F.JPG Here we are on the Grevelingen Lake (the biggest salt water lake in the world). When I was a kid, my father started with a dufour 1800 (yep, 20 foot smaller than the one Cameron has :).

And will save you many years of pain and torturous living.

You probably missed my log Selling my house And besides that, I just don't need much space to live in. (see my current house). I just use 2 rooms : my computer room and bed room, which is about the same a 40 foot boat gives me. The one that is going to have less space, is my cat Baahmi (photo made at preperations for the dutch Sinterklaas party on december 5th I created a sailing boat for my brother)

My current goal is to buy a hood 40 that is for sale (it's an extended hood 38), which is completely ready for a trip around the world (just missing heating)
