Living aboard 30ft GRP cruiser?

We did look at them but we found that the layout of the river cruisers we are more accustomed too suited us better.

 

The Broom 29 (Capri) we are hiring in a couple of weeks is a tried and tested design as is the Haines (Cirus) which we are hiring at Easter.

The Capri certainly doesn't look crapi, quite a "thrusting" look.

Surely the Haines Cirrus is an aeroplane?

The Cirus has a flybridge, not sure it will fly though 

 

The Broom 29 is a classic cruiser and has been a favourite in the hire fleets for many years. It's only downside is that Broom didn't make the best use of the wheelhouse area and all it houses is the helm and two seats. In more recent years both Haines and Westwood have taken the hull and produced some very nice wheelhouse cruiser versions of it that make much better use of the space. Regardless the Broom will be fine for the two of us for a week.

 

Just hope the weather isn't too sunny or we will fry in the greenhouse

Remarkable - I put "Haines Cirrus" into the Google search and it showed me lots of pictures of single-engined aircraft. You can always trust the internet.

The Cirrus Bombardier aero engine was a four cylinder in line,air cooled ,inverted engine producing 90hp.Made by Blackburn Aircraft,and fitted to various light aircraft pre and post war.Blackburn fitted them to some of their own biplanes,and they were also fitted to the smaller early Auster aircraft.

I once nearly bought an aeroplane with a Cirrus Bombardier engine,a french designed Druine Turbi,but after a lot of thought,bought a different type.
