There are several different kinds of boats. Some for day sailing, fishing, cruising, blue water, etc... The list goes on and on!! Our boat, slash home is a 1980 CSY 44. She is 41.1 feet long with a beam of 14 feet and has a draft of 5 feet, or 4.8 after I ran it aground in the Bahamas. We purchased her after she was basically totally redone. We think she's a beautiful vessel, even if her varnish needs another coat... We have what you call a 'walk-over' model. Which means that the entire aft is the captain's quaters, complete with a full head. Two bathrooms are a must for us. I grew up in a house with only ONE bathroom, all I can say is "NEVER AGAIN"... Our engine is the original Perkins that my husband 'Pete' did an over haul on last year... He's not a mechainc by trade, but he learned quick! We also sport a water-maker, solar panels, and a noisy wind generator!! There's always something to repair/fix when living on a boat. Someone once told me "B.O.A.T." means "Break Out Another Thousand" or three!! But when the day is all said and done, there really is no place like home...
