Boat Loans

By Lorna Mclaren


A life on the ocean waves! If that is your dream then you could make it a reality with a specialized Boat Loan.

If you want to have your own small pleasure boat or even a larger commercial one there are many loan companies that provide specialist boat loans to help make your dream a reality.

You can find boat loans for used or new vessels and the terms and interest rates will vary depending on your circumstances and the value of the boat.

It is important to shop around and make sure that you get the best boat loan for you.

There are a number of types of boat loans but the majority will use the boat as collateral, similar to a home loan or mortgage.

Of course, the predicted resale value of your chosen boat is also taken into consideration by the boat loan provider.

Various types of boat insurance are also available and many boat loan companies will insist that you take out their own boat insurance as part of the boat loan requirements.

Don't forget that your boat will require considerable amounts of finance for its upkeep and it is important to take this into consideration when looking for a boat loan.

Whatever size or style of boat you decide to get dont forget your life preserver and have fun!

More Info On new boat

Today, the most common sailboat is the sloop which features one mast and two sails, a normal mainsail and a foresail. This simple configuration is very efficient for sailing towards the wind. The mainsail is attached to the mast and the boom, which is a spar capable of swinging across the boat, depending on the direction of the wind. Depending on the size and design of the foresail it can be called a jib, genoa, or spinnaker; it is possible but not common for a sloop to carry two foresails from the one forestay at one time (wing on wing). The forestay is a line or cable running from near the top of the mast to a point near the bow. In Bermuda, where a rig design influenced by the Lateen rig appeared on boats and came to be known as the Bermuda rig, a large spinnaker was carried on a spinnaker boom when running down-wind. An example of a typical sloop can be seen on the Islander 36.

The cutter is similar to a sloop with a single mast and mainsail, but generally carries the mast further aft to allow for the use of two headsails attached to two forestays, the head stay and the inner stay, which carry the jib and staysail respectively. This is rarely considered a racing configuration; however, it gives versatility to cruising boats, especially in high wind conditions, when a small jib can be flown from the inner stay.
