    Actually, I am looking at about the same sort of thing, but mostly because I
    couldn't find a sailoboat I could handle by myself (or with a partner) that
    had the layout and type of accomodation I wanted.

    I'd be interested in what people were thinking in terms of brands of
    motorsailors. I had resigned myself recently to a trawler or motorsailor
    (after having to give up the Neilali for the hard for the last year) but
    hadn't found anything that really leaped out at me (it's very hard to find
    really good boats in France at anything less than astronomical prices and
    finding a place to keep it in Paris is an exercise in madness =< ).

    I had spent some time looking at George Buehler's designs and philosophy and
    trying to figure out what was the smallest thing I could deal with in my
    kind of liveaboard-slowly-circumnavigating philosophy.

    Be interested to hear what other poeople are either living aboard
    comfortably or thinking of. Think cheap... I'm poor.

    ciao!
    Daryl.

    I too am faced with that decision albeit for medical reasons
