mags, your new boat is a tad too big for the uk. I think you should belt around (decent distances) inlc guernsey, solent and so on to use 200 hrs in the first season BUT i also think that soon enuf it shd be in a "plice in Shpine" and if you ain't too bothered, sotogrande is good enuf for early/late season sunshine for starterers, and when i was there a week ago there was loads of space, 70euros a nite for 76 feet so must be less for 67 - and a monthly contract wd surely be better rates. BUT note that under it's own keel it wd be a bit iffy x-biscay after mid-august or before April 2006, and take bout 60 hours to Gib if the thing works...
