Congratulations. Never thought I'd live to see the day. oops, deal not done till Wednesday. I need to tread carefully for the rest of the week.

Crikey. Whatever next? Well done Wansworth!

 

[LittleSister]

Congratulations!

I hope you have fun adventures and peaceful anchoring in her.

What we're going to do on this forum now, without having an ongoing succession of your potential boats to variously enthuse or cast aspersions on, I don't know.

Shock, horror. What am I going to do now with a no more never ending “should I buy this boat” threads from Wandsworth.

By gad he was really serious and is finally buying a boat. Congratulations.

Looking forward to your adventures as you progress down the road, just watch out for the rudder attacking orcas if you enter the Atlantic Ocean.

Yes that news did cause a slight doubt …..one must be brave besides it’s a transome hung rudder I will lift it out the way

 

[DreadShips]

I've turned the forum off and on again and this thread still appears. Must be broken.

(And congratulations - though I don't think most of us will recover from the shock!)

I've already been on to my stockbroker to buy shares in Galician chandleries.

Conversion of it to a cutter-rigged gaff yawl is surely high on your list?

Anyone opened a book on this falling over before Wednesday?

No!…..I am my fathers son and that would be going down the path he took so we will be true to the French designers concept even though it doesn’t seem to have any sheer either up or down we are going for scatter cushions in the cabin to personalize our craft.Soft furnishing are all the rage.
