Welcome Piers! Nice input and recap on your 55. She sure is a fine boat! Here's hoping you win the lotto and get that 65 you're after!
Will be searching yachtcouncil circa 2018! Fun design. I really like your implementation of the GPSGTSS! :p
They are an awesome piece of engineering, and as I understood it (haven't seen one either) but they are very nicely finished, very well built,...
The words given to me from our guy was: "It will be easier to color match paint than it would be get the color code or gel from Tony. A good paint...
I wouldn't have the foggiest. I can check with our Engineer on what route he would go to find it, have it made, or otherwise (paint). I highly...
Have a look at the color that Fleming uses for their hulls. It's a very light shade of almond if you will. It is a nice contrast to the stark...
X2! Well done Carl and Team. It's a site I look forward to visiting and contributing to through my daily or weekly webcrawling.
Good for parts at the right price, otherwise, junk.
Sexy sells long before functionally sound does.
Or, buy a boat that has some engineering and forethought put into it. The same could be said about the 36m Benetti we had. Ran great when she...
150K and 100K respectively, each with a well rounded employment package. (medical, dental, vision, paid holiday, training, etc.) If you want...
They are a blast! It's the one boat I can [still] confidently sail single handed! I've had my eyes open for one for the kids which I'll probably...
There are several threads on the Fleming 55 and 65 in the forum if you point your browser to the Search Feature of the forum.
Considering I learned to sail on something like this back in the 70's, yes, 76' would be considered "huge"
(with all due respect) First of all, you're randomly rattling off two or three handfuls of 'assumptions' and 'facts' based on uneducated...
I'm a big fan of the Fleming. Its' a very well thought out boat, built to very high standards, the fit and finish is outstanding. There are a few...
I'd love to have a Captain and a Chef/Stew/Deckhand for 100K a year. Even better, 65K a year. Where do I find them? Sign me up! I guess our...
I have a group of friends that do a pig roast once a year. Different location each year, never released until a few days prior to the departure....
We did it in a 59 GB. It sounds like from your thread that you'll be in a much larger boat than can be transported by road, and your air draft...
You're never going to make everyone happy. Once you realize that, you and the world get along a lot better.
