Really? Are they that good? They definitely seem to hold their value?

Really? Are they that good? They definitely seem to hold their value? They are highly rated, build quality, sea-keeping abilities etc. The ask often seems to be nearer the 10k mark. No shit.

Yes I’ve seen them more exspensive. I understand they are well built, but they must be amazing. I’m thinking of one as I say with a tent, some solar and a little water maker for my retirement. I’d obviously ship it to a warmer climate though.

I’d probably disappear back to Asia again.

In part I think it's a bit like the VW Campervan effect. TBH better value and utility can be found. Lots of plastic cruisers for sale anytime.

Lots of plastic cruisers for sale anytime. Yes but I’d like something with sails. Not to big, able to be rowed pulled up the beach etc. If I was in Asia I wouldn’t mind living under a tarp on deck. Small desalination unit and solar to power it. I think it’s the best option for me, as this country is fucked.

The heavy moveable keel has a lot to do with the appeal.

As you say, a boom tent would be fine if the air was warm. Yes I’m thinking of retiring to a warmer climate. Would be cheaper to ship places as well. It will be a couple of years yet. So I’ll keep looking. I was a cook on a Chinese junk around Thailand, Malaysia and a little bit of Indonesia in my youth. Used to sleep on deck most of the time anyway. I’d like to go back, I don’t hold out much hope for the Uk.

, as this country is fucked. Make Britain Grate Again! But yes. it is. sadly. It’s the apathy of the people. Just compare the farmers protests worldwide recently. The ones in the Uk where pathetic. I think the authorities in this country could do absolutely anything to the populace and the majority would just respond, “well it could be worse.” “Mustn’t grumble.”

The covids has a lot to answer for in this.
People seem to want to get colloquially fucked.
I suppose in a way the more fucked people feel the more they just accept they are being fucked. One of the problems is that so called 'leaders' seem to very often be either terrible arseholes or celebrities or both of these things.
Aldous Huxley predicted all this shit.
People will rejoice in their enslavement.

People seem to want to get colloquially fucked. Interesting choice of vocabulary. And no, that wasn't it. Always dodgy to cite books you didn't read.

I was referring to his interview. its on youtube Mike Wallace interview. Interesting at 15:45. Its a bit long winded and hard to follow but he was onto something here. People are persuaded below the level of choice and reason to vote in certain ways.
