You may want to own a boat that can take you in safety to any place you fancy visiting someday. Perhaps you can’t afford buying it, but you can build it as an amateur, provided you have a fixed monthly income. Besides, if the model is good enough, being really safe when sailing in bad weather and comfortable for a couple to live aboard for long periods, than it is worth considering constructing it yourself.

Having in mind this possibility is very appealing. If you like the hobby of boat building, the whole work involved in the construction becomes an amusement, and instead of  obtaining a loan which will generate a long term debt, you make a saving investing your time and your income in a durable good made with your own hands. If you still take into account that the enterprise is tax free and does not include somebody else profit, than you can be sure that deciding for a home construction of a boat of proven quality is an excellent investment.

We bet that the adequate boat for an investment like this is the Samoa 28. A boat of this size is quickly built and is relatively cheap to be equipped. On the other hand to live aboard for long periods you need more than anything else that the boat affords adequate headroom. Besides, you will require a comfortable saloon to be used as living room, and this saloon must be a cozy place for entertaining your guests.

A well equipped and ergonomic galley is also essential, and the heads with decent shower facilities is something you must have too. You also need an owner’s cabin large enough to be called bedroom. Adding to this a fore double berth for eventual guests, than you will have the right size boat for your requirements. If the boat is a nice-looking, modern design and is fast enough to provide daily runs above the one hundred fifty miles mark, then this is the best choice you can afford.
