Salcombe Flyer 440 (14.5ft) with a 2 stroke 60. Stupidly light and been GPSd at 40 knots!

Just enought to ski behind and light enough to push off a beach if needed. Got it on a pontoon mooring 100 yards from our house - ideal!

Man didn't spend decades perfecting the internal combustion engine just to use sails.;)

Very nice boat - Salcombe is a lovely location to have it moored as well!

Wiff - boat made in Salcombe but we are near Truro in Cornwall! My uncle has a gaff in Salcombe though - it's a lovely place.

We did have a little sailing boat (Cornish Crabbers Coble) - it took forever to get anywhere and we are a bit cr4p at sailing...! The inlaws have a Fisher 46 in steel which we plan to use once we learn how to sail properly...!

I have to walk 10minutes to get to my boat... but it does have an engine and sails but it does need alot more paint and varnish!

It is slow but has a head so don't have to rush home after one too many G&T's :-)

Scuba - just looking at the pic makes me feel all calm and tranquil!
Looks like a lot of relaxing fun.
