A Free Boat, in Panama

[Stingo]

Being desperate to get afloat again, I'm not sure what to make of this? But being a catamaran person, it's missing a hull. Maybe one of you might be interested?

Now that's certainly interesting for the right person. Perhaps need to be young though.....

Any idea where in Panama?

 

[Stingo]

Most likely in Linton Bay Marina, which for those of you that aren't familiar with Panama, is very remote. Getting spares, paint or whatever is possible, but challenging
Edit: it's in Panamarina, which is next to Linton Bay Marina

Looks an interesting place, but as you say, very remote,

I tried to find his video with the lightening strike, assumed I'd find it in the most viewed ones but its all thumbnails pretending women will be nude in the videos. Is he a pimp or a sailor? Cheap scumbag. Its ended up with practically all sailing channels using the same tactic. Its pathetic. Maybe its because I have 3 kids including a daughter I'm trying to introduce to sailing that I'm annoyed. I won't be using youtube as a resource.

All along that coast from Columbia to the Canal Zone has masses of lightning storms. Spooky.

Naked ladies on boats has never been a problem for me though.

I would think its hard going sailing in a Burqa in the tropics.......

Ive watched him on Youtube quite a bit, lost a Cat in Oz, bought this one in the States? with his Portuguese wife, he went from disaster to disaster, she left him. He got hit by lightening, blue holes in the hul, did heroics, all filmed, genuine, to save his boat, got it to Linton Bay by heroics, he is a good sailor, has a horrible grating Oz accent. Announced heis going to hand build a Cat and this is his latest weeze!

IIRC, Stingo suffered a lightning strike in Panama.

I met a chap repairing his boat in Shelter Bay Marina after lightning had wrecked every bit of electrics on board. He was a sparky by trade so saved the insurance company a lot. Getting spares though without stuff getting pinched was a problem.

Correct. I'll spare you the grisly details of what I deposited in my grundies within a nanosecond of the strike.

Correct. I'll spare you the grisly details of what I deposited in my grundies within a nanosecond of the strike.

Having been anchored in Port Klang, Malaysia during the mother of all lightning storms you're allowed to fill your pants

My cooking fat also left a nasty mess on the saloon floor, right between my feet, where she had been kipping. I know what your next question will be. The answer is "yes". And I was barefoot.

Try Windhippie Sailing on YT. She's a young woman in a small boat who displays a good attitude and knowledge rather than teasing with breasts. I'd be proud to be her father.
