Currently i've got
IC 17
I Moth 11
11+ 11
Cherub 12
B moth 11 (sort of)!!

Re: How many feet?
This could be fun but definately dont let SWMBO get to see it.
And remember...size doesn't matter!
So... Firefly, 12ft
I.C 18ft
National 14 14ft
Mirror 10ft
Thats 54 feet of sail
To that I could add a L***r but I presume that might attract a -ve score! -14ft
= 40, (with a -ve score,) 54 if we quietly ignore it, and 68 if we are paying for a pontoon in the marina!.
Now we get to the interesting bits and pieces.
Salters Double (Fibreglass) River "Skiff" 22ft
Carl Douglas Wood Carbon composite)Single Scull 26ft
Sims Single (Wooden) scull 27ft
Len Neville Aluminium Scull 27ft
Hasler "Peanut" (Childs) rowing dinghy 4ft
Sit on Canoe 12 ft
Surf slipper canoe 6ft
Windsurfer "Lightning Race" 12ft
Windsurfer Training board 8ft
Avon Redcrest inflatable 7ft
Thats 151 ft of "other" guilty pleasures.
If I "big it up" then, I could claim 219 ft of pontoon space in the marina. (Just under 3.33 chains.)

Re: How many feet?
I'm going to need a spreadsheet to work this out!
138.83 total of which 67ft is cvrda eligible - too many Larks!
Albacore, Merlin, Merlin Rocket, Bobbin and Zoom = 67ft
plus two zodiacs at 3.2m (10.5ft each). Do bodyboards count?

Re: How many feet?
Gosh, my collection very depleted at moment, and you don't say whether the boat has to be 'ready to go' or whether you can include boats waiting for re-build or to be finished, but lets see.
Sailing Dinghies:
Jollyboat J3 18ft
Jollyboat J335 awaiting re-build 18ft
IC GBR242 17ft
IC Shell unfinished 17ft
MR 638 awaiting re-build 14ft
Firefly 2942 12ft
Tideway 147 needs some work 12ft
So I guess this is a score of: 108
If you include other stuff, it gets harder.... but I guess this could include:
Phelps Scull 27ft
Bathurst Whiff 24ft
Looe River Boat 14ft
Kayak - 3 man 14ft
Kayak - 1 man 9ft
which would be another 89ft or so....
then there would be a bundle of windsurf boards, but that would tax me a little to work out.
What about 'cc' across your vehicles?
Reckon I have 7222cc across 7 vehicles, mainly bikes of course.....
later

Re: How many feet?
Tideway + Tideway + Merlin + Newhaven Beach Boat = 56 ft and a lot more fun than a single 56ft boat I'll bet.
Tideway 206
11+
Sold the 'Something bigger and plastic', it never got used.

Bearing in mind the int Moth is Unskol, and the B moth is the one in my sig see if you can guess [grin]Ed wrote:, and you don't say whether the boat has to be 'ready to go' or whether you can include boats waiting for re-build or to be finished,
Re: How many feet?
4x14, 1x15, 1x15.5ft, 1x10ft (is a topper 10'?)
, but two are Amy's
Not so imprerssive compared to some!
But my wooden masts add up to 137.5ft , all but one are 'together' but one is missing the bottom two feet.

Re: How many feet?
BM = 11. Mirror = 11, Unit = 16, Trio = 15 (but does not count?) Skol Moth = 11 Nat 12 = 12 - 51 or 66 depending on how you count.
They used to say the cost of owning and operating a boat was a function of the cube of its length. Oh No.....

Re: How many feet?
3 Finns, and 3 zeniths (1 knackered) = 87 3/4'
Reminds me I must try to get down to 'just' 2 of each in 2015!

Re: How many feet?
Mmm, but 11^3 *3 is an awful lot less than 33^3.jpa_wfsc wrote:They used to say the cost of owning and operating a boat was a function of the cube of its length. Oh No.....
It's a crude representation of a boat being a 3 dimensional object in which all dimensions tend to increase roughly in proportion.

Re: How many feet?
Let's see.....
AC - 17'
IC - 17'
Cherub - 12'
National 12 - 12'
(not sure if this really counts, but....) L***r - 14'
And I am really unsure that the Farr 3.7 counts, considering is it still just a frame (might as well though !) - 12'
So, take your pick from; 58', 70', 72', and 84'

In terms of boat length I have a woeful collection
Zenith, Hit and Megabyte so about 47'
Add the SUPs and Kayaks then that's another 47'
In the days when I got into double figures of boat ownership it was around the 170' mark. Alan must have the longest waterline length for single boat with the Shark having 40'
