    And so the hunt begins

    You'll be pleased to be afloat and there's lots you can do to make it more comfortable.

    Apollo Duck

    Preloved is also a good option.

    Apollo Duck

    I used it to sell a sailboat. I think I used the pay version (quite a few years ago) - I don't recall it being exorbitant. We got loads of interest and the advert came down pretty quickly. I would say make sure you have a lot of good photos and a comprehensive and detailed list about what you...

    PS I think you also need to consider monohulls.... it's not like we're expecting monogamy, you know.

    Well, we can't help/hinder you if we don't know how tight that duck's arse is.

    How could this happen?

    I missed the lid and yes, the sinking is odd.

    Why not search in Europe? What is your budget?

    How could this happen?

    ...and what about the bucket? Clung onto a bucket? Mr Shan has dropped 2 buckets overboard (don't ask) and the first thing they did was fill with water and sink! Far too many odd details.

    RYA sail qualification- does it also cover power?

    I'm not sure that's true: International Certificate of Competence - ICC - Mendez Marine

    New Toy

    I love the idea. It was Mr Shan's fault I was stung by a jelly fish in Thailand. On the plus side, he forgot to fill the tender engine with fuel and had to paddle back after going to get me Cortisone cream.

    Know who you are Chartering with!!!

    No, there was no insurance tick box and yes, Helm operates in Thailand. Sail Aegean won't lose a penny from that charter but they won't gain a penny from any future charters I take in the Sporades.

    Know who you are Chartering with!!!

    They would have had repeat customer service from me - now, they won't. I have used Helm several times before, now, never again. I'm planning to charter in Thailand again, guess who I won't be using? Both Sail Aegean and Helm will not see another penny from me. Factor that into your equation.
