65 quid return from Gatwick to Preveza in April! And the boat prices are way lower than the UK I think....... Although maybe the post Covid/Brexit boat price boom in the UK has calmed a bit!

Ok next question. Which is cheaper for a base?! Croatia, Greece or Turkey?!

Thanks a lot. Between my wife and I we are UK USA and Colombian. One interesting thing I just discovered is she can get Spanish citizenship in just two years of residency! Must be Spain feeling guilty about nicking all their gold….! Anyway as neither of us will be EU citizens for the...

Seasons not necessarily a problem!! Will have an all season place at about 11 degrees north where it is too hot all year….. So shoulder seasons will be fine. Any ideas where is best to base in Greece??

Did you read my post about the budget....?! But how come. Did you sell the boat without them?!

Yes definitely. I will have a long shortlist!!

I didn’t have carbon sails before but I was definitely a wannabe! Was fun while it lasted though!

The problem with getting into racing is that the time before I got a bit into it I couldn’t stop spending money…. sails, go faster antifouling etc. So whilst wanting the opportunity to do it a bit for fun i definitely don’t want to be competitive! Post divorce I can’t afford it! I want to race...

Yes too sporty! This is all part of a devious life plan that might involve me sleeping on it a few nights a month!!
