.. I raced with years ago, this weekend gone. He was telling me how for the last ten years he'd been lucky enough to own two boats. This is a guy who lived to sail. Give him a forty foot racer with no engine and strange IOR habits and he'd win a race and dock it in the trickiest marina berth without turning a hair.
His two boats are a 32 ft sailing cruiser of impecable pedigree and a semi displacement cabin motor launch of 23ft.
He's selling one and I was shocked that it's to be the sailing boat.
He tells me that there is no logical reason to keep the sailing boat. Having run both boats he finds that he rarely gets the sailing boat out because by the time he clears harbour in in it he can be "halfway to somewhere" in the MoBo.
So another one bites the dust.
