A what boat thread (hopefully)
Current ship: Strikeliner 16
Would like to have:
6.1m max LOA because of daylight robbery mooring, option to sleep overnight, khazi, warmer winter (diesel heater) pilot house, speed 16-20+ knots, economyishical, £10~15k in doubloons
Smooth brain thoughts: Hardy Fisher 20’, Orkney Orkadian 20’, Hardy Pilot 20’
East Coast fishing (Essex), so annoying short green sea chop
Anyone here been on a Orkadian 20’? Same hull as Day Angler 19’ with living room up front and small deck area behind. Told they don’t plane much (semi D) and bow rise restricts forward vision
Trim tabs, prop woes, weight and power all get mentioned getting Orkadien and Fishers lump over the hump
It’s a lot to ask from 20’
Strikeliner getting canopy tent fitted next month so no rush but I’m bigger boat curious, the romance of an overnight in a river and up early off to the mark
