Any one know Ferrettis?

Am doing the Staples2Naples car run in September... more info:

(team name = "Stop The Press")

Then going to Sicily/Panarea on a friend's girlfriend's family's boat... I asked if I could have a drive but was told the crew would do that. It turns out it is one of these:

Erm, can I get one for the Thames?

That's it , understate it . I'd go for something a bit stronger /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Still cannot believe it myself.... I'd ignored the details of the holiday after the rally until tonight when a friend said "have you seen the boat we are staying on?".

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to enjoying an old FIAT to get to Naples from Staples.... and then another Italian masterpiece to get to the islands around Sicily. A hard life. Will take Photos.

Do you think a photo or video diary would be best?

 

[Sixpence]

Both . She's a damn fine looking boat , but don't forget the trip too

 

[Gavi]

Best site I could currently find to explain the nature of s2n. Sorry, no boats

but i promise to give u a big ferretti at the end

 

[Sixpence]

I'll have a look at that when I'm back on the PC , the lappie doesn't handle things that are too fast or detailed

So I reply to myself.. much like being married /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

See this - it has a boat at the start

I have to raise some charity money so expect a begging bowl soon! But don't let that stop u seeing how much fun someone can have "using" a boat to get to other places...

[Sixpence]

o, sorry.. it involves lots of slow cars but needs others to enjoy. This post really now belongs on the lounge. The video is v. funny methinks.

 

[Sixpence]

Move to the lounge before someone chews butt . It'll be better than some of the topics in there lately

Which Ferretti? I guess its a largish one (60ft+) if its got crew so you'll be very comfortable. They are one of Italy's best boat builders and are known for producing medium/large quality flybridge boats. I have a Ferretti 46 myself and it's been excellent. Enjoy yourself, lucky barsteward

Top video looks like a real blast how long did the journey take and did you bring the cars back or scrap em there?

 

[Gavi]

it's a 681... am just a little excited!

 

[Gavi]

4 days and u can bring the cars back or scrap them (no dumping allowed).

We're having the car scrapped, flying to Sicily and then being picked up by the boat. I am going to take photos of my Freeman with me to make 'em jealous /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Mmm, nice. I should ask if your friend's girlfriend has got a sister, if I was you /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Gavi]

The 460 is no ugly duckling either!

And yes, she has sisters. But I don't think SWMBO would be happy with what you are suggesting....

 

[Deleted User YDKXO]

Thanks, gavi but its not the 460 but the 46 I have. The current version of my boat is the 500. Regarding SWMBO, sometimes its worth changing horses /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
