If you won the lottery??? (sort of boaty!)

[Becky]

Well, not that I have considered this in the past, not actually doing the lottery. But if I did, I would pay off my childrens mortgages, give some to Ex and the family, but spend a percentage on a Moody 50-something, or an equivalent HR or Najad (never could spell in Swedish, or English for that matter) with elecric wnches and anchor windlass, electric furling sustems, a freezer and big fridge, nice sound-proofed cabin for me so I couldn't hear HWMBO snoring, nice enclosed galley with lots of space, a big generator, and so on and on and on...........
Like Cornish Maid but more so!
But mainly I would invest enough to run the whole outfit into perpetuity so I wouldn't have to worry.
That owuld be the best bit!!

Bit late this but........
Look after the family.
Marry my girlfriend.
Buy houses in English country side, Portagul and Italy (all with river or sea side access)
BUY A FISHER 45, with all the bits.
Look after friends and niehbours.
Worry about the rest later.

Obviously I'd spend half on booze and women.









The other half?
I'd probably waste that!

Oooh, thats easy. Boaty would be an Oyster 49, saw one at SIBS - new design by rob humphreys so its bound to be quick. however as this will be perfect for long cruises and passage making, but absolute pants for a quick thrash up the river on a sunday afternoon, I would also buy something like a Beneteau first 211 or 27.7 or something similar.
Obviously I would also have to build a bigger house and buy a nice fun airplane.

Re: mac gregor?

I thought perhaps that it had been torn off by giant waves, but this can't be the case, as any fule kno that the McSporran is the perfect all-weather compromise and that its structural integrity will ensure that everything remains attached, even in the most challenging conditions.

Perhaps it's been taken down, to reduce the kind of aerodynamic resistance that you experience at warp speeds on a craft such as this /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
