A very interesting read, the Dropkick Murphys ask the important question, and in the “fascinated by the befuddingly strange moments” department…
Now this is cool.


Divinité 5.83m big roof:
– Possibility of strip planking roof with 1.84m headroom !
– Possibility of junk rig.
– Same characteristics as the first flush deck version, excepted -290mm of draft when the keel is raised.
– enclosed toilets with zip curtains.
More info soon come.
I have noted that many marinas in the EU are now charging at a “minimum” 8m rate for visitors, which then generally fall into the 8 to 10m charge bracket. Unless your home port charges by the actual size, there is not much benefit of the smaller boat, outside of build cost.
All that aside, I like it, and its more liveable than some of the contraptions the old Swede comes up with.
