I've bought a new boat...

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Well, subject to contracts etc, and the sale of Morgana...

45 feet, 17 tons, long keel, built like a brick outhouse.... even the sole boards are 2" thick!

Very excited!

 

[ACE]

WOW she looks great, I hope it all work out for you and you have many happy sailing times...

 

[MoodySabre]

How nice is that! Looking forward to wetting the baby's head (so to speak)

Well done Morganas or Pheonixs.

 

[sarabande]

EX-QUISITE !


Now where is Mireille when you want him ?


I do hope it all goes well, and you complete the deal.

 

[Fr J Hackett]

Thats a serious bit of kit. Very nice.

 

[Athene V30]

Welcome to the Long Keel Club! She looks fantastic.

What draft is she? Looks huge.

Absolute beauty!

Well you've certainly bucked the trend for a YBW forum recommended yacht purchase there

I see She has a CQR
Fair Winds

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Welcome to the Long Keel Club! She looks fantastic.

What draft is she? Looks huge.

She's 2.1m, so a bit on the deep side for the east coast, but makes up for it in so many other ways!

 

[Marmalade]

2.1m - no problems. Just need to keep an eye on the tides a bit more!

Looks fantastic - what sort of boat is she?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

She's an Explorer 45, designed by Stan Huntingford who also designed the Slocum 43, and is a highly regarded design amongst bluewater cruisers

And brown water ones as well it seems She looks the absolute DBs to me.

 

[Bru]

When I grow up I want one of them!

Fabulous looking boat, congratulations and look forward to seeing her under sail

 

[tillergirl]

Very nice, very nice indeed.

You wait til I go out of the country for a weekend and then sneak this one past me. I feel a close inspection coming on.
