13 Happy years with her.

Quite a wrench, but exciting looking for the replacement.

At least you will have money for a little while?

I have a single piece of 40ft timber in the garden that I'm sure was a keel once. Good starting point for your next project?

Wow, well done Ben. That is great news, I'm sure you will miss her, but once playtime II is found....

A couple of Faireys in Foulkes presently, and at least one has a for sale sign on it.

Or there is a pub in Southampton near Ocean Village (apparently) ...

She was Playtime II since the early 70's, nothing known of Playtime I. So If I wanted the Playtime name it would have to be III.

I'll pop by the weekend and have a mooch about, the trouble with so many Fairey boats is the condition and the owners expectation of value...

I fancy a Huntsman 31 as first choice. If I can't find what I want then it might become a semi displacement boast around 32 to 34 foot and a Fairey Huntress or Christina to whizz about the Solent.

Me too!

Boat goes tomorrow. First time boatless for 7 years:distress:

Congratulations (to the both of you)

Being boatless coming into winter sounds like a smart move! Ours is being cleaned this weekend to bring it back up to standard.
