So I've been scouring the internet for the latest Fantasie 19 related items and came across this advert for a Fantasie 6.3metre. http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/PAA6001
It's a cracking looking boat with full standing head room for £3,800. Would be nice to see what it looks like inside.
This ones not a Robert Tucker design though, John Bulter is responcible for this one; he also designed the Westerly Cirrus, 28 and Tiger. Judging by his website the new deisgns are stunning.
Builders comments (From boat world guide No2.)
The Fantasie 630 is a modern sailing cruiser which offers the accomodation of a far larger craft, but at a far more reasonable price!
This has not been achieved at the expense of the cockpit which is 6 feet long, self draining and is protected by high coamings. The fore-deck is also large with plenty of room for sail changes, nor has the sailing performance suffered, she is fast, responsive and light on the helm. She points high into the wind and performs equally well in light airs or a stiff blow.
So there we go, a fantasie with full standing head room (If you're 5'10" or shorter), 5 berths and still only a 2'9" draft
I'd have to get the coucil to divert the pavement around my front garden before I could concider having a bigger boat though :D
