I am looking to buy a boat for use over the summer. It would have to be able to fit around 8 people for cruising up and down the thames enjoying a drink or two in the sun. What kind of boat would be the best for this kind of use? I am not looking to spend too much. I am willing to buy a run down boat and do it up. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I recently met a friend who shares some sailing fantasies. He is saying you can just buy a 28′ sail boat and sail across the pacific. Is this true, i would have though you’d need a bigger boat. How small of a boat is possible and how long would it take if rushed?

I would like to buy a freshwater boat. I am curious to know if I can take it to the ocean once a year. Would it hurt the cooling system? Would putting it back in fresh water flush the system?
