Actually logic says LOA cubed! That's why I've got a 26 and charter when I sail in foreign countries. Sam Salter C&C 26 Liquorice
Well said Colin...I'm not quite up there yet but as my boats have gotten
bigger as the years went by and with more systems on board I have noted a definite increase in work required...for a while I thought I was just getting older but that was only fooling myself really Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Colin Kilgour Sent: April 18, 2013 9:25 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Stowing stuff on your boat Ouch! Actually, I would say the amount of maintenance work seems to increase proportionately with the square of the LOA. Or proportionately with displacement. (Guys considering moving up in size should keep this in mind) Nothing to do with build quality. More to do with the complexity of systems and overall mass/volume/surface area of the boats. Bojangles' displacement is about 11x that of a C&C 24 and the maintenance could easily be 10-11x as much. That said... when your boat is that demanding, you get to know your way around its storage lockers pretty well.
