I'm guessing boats are not a good investment though. ...are they? :-\

Not exactly...

Bought this in 2001 for £21k http://www.broads.org.uk/wiki/index.php5?title=Boat_Photograph&photo=l994_8103a&BoatId=5193&BoatHistory=8103

Sold in 2011 for £23k, having spent £18k on various bits and bobs... new engine, some timber work, heating, wiring etc :-\ was sold off season, priced for a quick sale, took a week to sell, but only one serious person interested. Paid the asking price, so could have sold it for more with time...

Was bought with a view to potentially living on it, but didn't quite work out as planned ::)

Would I buy another? Yes, but I would approach the whole thing differently  :y

They say that boats are just a dent in the water into which you pour money....  ::)

No worse than gambling and whoring ;D

That said Chartering can cover the costs and some... champagne breakfast off the Isle of Wight, lunch in Cherbourg, round the Island trips etc :y

I get my sailing fix by racing for the Army on British soldier.  Cheap, fun and hard work :y

My parents get theirs by owning a share in a Beneteau in Spain, they dont use all their weeks and give the odd one to me.
