You are either being ghoulish or sensible.. We don't know if he actually set off? ..... which I really hope he didn't.

He was online here this morning.
Isn't he planning to do the trip next weekend?

Haven't seen anything to indicate one way or another.. If he is sailing at the moment.. he will be getting a wiggle on... or sitting in a lifeboat.

honestly meant as tongue in cheek but in reality probably a little of both i wouldn't want to be out in this weather with any kind of inexperienced person even with an experienced skipper. I know he did say they were going to look at other days to go but still its a genuine concern.

Incidentally, it looks like this is the boat - Mystere Flyer 26 for sale UK, Mystere boats for sale, Mystere used boat sales, Mystere Sailing Yachts For Sale 1972 Mystere Flyer 26 - Apollo Duck
It may well have been ashore for a while. I wouldn't take it on any sort of trip until I'd done some local shakedowns to check the engine, fuel system, etc.

The poop deck stencil in the heads is a nice touch.

Think on the previous thread the OP had said he was postponing the trip to later in the year. Certainly wouldn't fancy it out there today in a 26 footer (although it looks fairly well found) - mind you - you wouldn't need much sail up - scrap of headsail and a strong stomach should suffice. Think also, looking at the size of the cockpit that I'd be keen to clip on.

Looks like the chap is a newby and came on here for some advice about his plans. Sensible thing to do and he appears to have heeded the advice he got. Also sensible. Im sure he will do just fine.

I personally would want to take it for a shake cruise to check the rig and sails ........ Seeing as its a sailing yacht....

Why is this here rather than on the thread he started? You're like the cackling crones in the front row at the guillotine.

Sorry, you're mistaken. The post you said was posted on Sunday was definitely posted on Monday.
