Welcome to the boat wiki!

We did live on a 42 feet sailboat, Rainbow 42, which has been completely rebuilt as fast cruising yacht. However this is not ideal for our purposes, but pretty close for whats doable for us with a mono-hull on the market within our budget. So we have decided to build and design our own boat. Which is a massive undertaking, hence we count on people on the web to point us in the right direction such as on the boatdesign forum.

Requirements

  • Needs to be less then 50 feet
  • Fit inside 40 feet shipping container for transport
  • Cruising speed of 20kt
  • Range of 200 nautical miles
  • Safety is important
  • Low maintenance
  • Cheap to haul out of water
  • Windows, yes large windows
  • -20 to 40C operating temperatures
  • Off grid capabilities
  • Smart home for comfort
  • 2 sleeping rooms

On the market

So obviously there is no such a boat on the market yet however that does not mean we can not take inspiration from whats out there.
