I've read with interest the several replies you've received regarding the suitablility of the Frers 33 for cruising. I also have been looking to buy one and if I did it would be a dual purpose boat as welll. For cruising, one thing no one has mentioned is the storing and deployment of ground tackle. Since there is no anchor well I'd be curious to hear how people are handling the anchor, chain and rode. I see some boats have had a hawse pipe installed and carry the chain & rode in the storage area foward of the v-berth and perhaps carry a Danforth style anchor from a holder on the bow pulpit. How does this work out? What other solutions work well?

I'm looking for a clean frers33 and am looking for some candid advice.
Can anyone comment on the overall cruising capability of the boat? This is truly going to have be a dual purpose boat and will have to accommodate a few long weekends (maybe up to 5-7 days) per year (usually just me and my wife), up and down the New England coast.
Is the boat dry enough for cruising?
Has anyone managed to fit a short dodger in front of the traveller?
Has anyone been caught in a blow in a frers33. How did she manage?
Any advice on what to look out for in terms of typical survey issues (i.e., mast step issues, delamination, etc.). Any serious moisture issues with the cored hull?
Any other advice?
Thanks for any info,
Rob
