The term “runabout” is really a catch-all that includes everything from bowriders to combination ski-and-fish boats to small speed boats. The thing these all share in common is that they’re small, open boats intended for day use in fair weather. And while their exposed nature will be considered a drawback by some boaters, it should be considered an advantage, too—you don’t buy a boat to get away from the sunshine and spray, do you? more
Most of us, however, will be more interested in the classic bowrider styles in the 18’ to 26’ range. These are far less expensive than the bigger versions, yet they still enable a family to enjoy a long list of waterborne activities. Most are powered by stern drives, though there are plenty of outboard options out there, too. Due to the latest emissions regulations, the cost of stern drives has gone up a bit and evened the playing field with outboards as far as cost goes. There are plusses and minuses to each power choice; read Outboard Engines on Bowriders: A Match Made in Heaven? to learn about the trade-offs of each.
In all of my boat reading in past couple of months, I have not come across Bluewater. Does anyone know about these boats? here
It has one of the motors that has been highly recommended on the form - the 3L/130HP Mercruiser here
So far, I've walked away from a couple of boats based on input from the forum and lost out on a couple of good ones that were snapped up quick. here
Any input or advice on this would be appreciated. I simply don't want to buy a boat with a bad trackrecord or that has a hard time with finding parts. more
The innovative flared hull design of the Oceanis 40.1 has excellent speed potential during a poised and comfortable ride. This sailboat is available in different layouts, drafts, and rig options to accommodate sailors while also satisfying the need for comfort and pleasure underway. According to SAIL Magazine, the judging panel appreciated the boat’s fine sailing qualities when the wind kicked up, including easy motion, maneuverability, and superior tracking ability. more
A feature that really impressed the judges was the interior space on the OC 40.1, which is filled with impressive features that upgrade standard living arrangements on sailboats. This is the only boat in her size range with a clear path from the companionway to the forward stateroom. This boat comes standard with a 2 cabin, 1 head layout, but it can be adjusted to 4 cabins and 2 heads to offer extra space for families. The judges noted the convenience of the unfinished workshop area under the port cockpit seat and the spaciousness of the forward and starboard aft cabin. It’s an overall comfortable layout when you’re at sea.
The Oceanis 40.1 is an exciting new boat designed for comfort and speed. She’s versatile, sleek, and surprisingly spacious — perfect for a sailing couple or family. Despite the pandemic, SAIL Magazine made an effort to conduct and announce its annual Best Boat list for 2021. Among a sea of worthy competitors, the Oceanis 40.1 won “Best Cruising Boat Monohull Under 50 Feet.” SAIL Magazine described it as, “a true sailor’s boat that just happens to also have a drop-dead gorgeous interior as well.” Let’s dive into what makes this award-winning boat so special.
The judges also complimented the sailboat’s cockpit ergonomics. Two, long L-shaped benches face each other and are unobstructed as the halyard winches and mainsail sheets are on the coachroof. A deluxe table and plenty of seating create a peaceful setting for lunch on the water. The OC 40.1 has a large boat platform with an intermediate step to make entering and exiting the cockpit comfortable and safe for all ages. This detail also makes it easy to get into and out of the water when the boat is anchored. [links]
