We trailer sail a Precision 18, take it all over, spending up to 2 weeks on board at a time, almost all on the hook. However, with age taking it's toll, we're looking to go bigger for more room and comfort. Not being at all interested in the added work that comes with bigger mast, etc, we think it's (cringe🙂 power boat time.
Wanting to maintain our trailering style, we've looked (mostly online only) at the usuals: Ranger, Cdory, Rosborough, etc.
We got on a R27 at a recent boat show. I'm in love. Cripes, what a beautiful boat. Absolutely would be a very very nice replacement for our dear little boat.
There is one item that scares me though, and that's going forward to the foredeck for anchor tending. Since we rarely stay at marinas, I'll need to go forward on a regular basis. Those side decks are narrow and look treacherous.
Question for those with a R25 or R27: how bad is it?
