This boat was listed with a local broker.Â Knowing the reputation of the Baltic boats I elected to visit the boat.Â The boat looked interesting with the centerline berth in the aft cabin.Â Upon arrival the boat was much smaller inside that what the photos show.Â Layout eats up much floor space making the boat seem tight.Â The particular boat we looked at had a head that had backed up recently thus had a bad odor.Â The boat also has a 2 cockpit layout.Â This eats up space that could be a nice aft cabin.Â Could be a good boat for the correct person.Â Not us.Â We need something a little bigger.Â Did not spend much time on the boat as we had decided it was too small after a short look.Â This design has been ruled out.

I am happy to speak very frankly about sailing, living aboard, living in the Caribbean, leaving the US system, or any other topic you want to discuss. I have watched many people come and go from boating in the time I have been living aboard, both those living on smaller boats and those living on 110 foot mega yachts. It seems that many people come expecting tropical paradise and are shocked to find paradise is not always what you see in the pictures but includes some mosquitoes, huge bugs, poverty, stray dogs, crime, drugs, and many other problems left out of the tourist photos.
