I've finally got her!

[Phoenix of Hamble]

After what seems months of wrangling (actually it IS months!)...

We are finally the owners of Phoenix of Hamble.....

Can't wait to get her home and start making her mine!

 

[sailorman]

Well done my Man

 

[AliM]

So pleased it's worked out for you at last, Neil.

We are looking forward to seeing her - when are you sailing her home?

 

[wingdiver]

Woohoo - another ketch.
Congrats Morgana family - or will that be the Phoenix's?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Weekend of 10th 11th September...

Then a few jobs to get done!

 

[Sixpence]

Best news I've heard in ages Neil, very pleased for both of you

 

[MrCramp]

What a cracking looking boat Neil, and you'll be sheltered out of the wind and rain when conditions are not so good. My kind of boat. Good Luck with her.

 

[sarabande]

she's even got a triatic stay !


Very very nice looking boat.


Need a hand taking her round ?

 

[Santana379]

Many congratulations Neil - Phoenix looks a really fantastic boat.

Fair winds and safe harbours wherever you venture in her.

Point of order ...

That is NOT a boat ... it's a SHIP!

And I'm not the least bit jealous. No really, I'm not. Honest.

just think of "light dues & pilotage" in H.Hbr

Nice - look forward to seeing her in the marina...

 

[johnalison]

You've reminded me of a Dutch couple we met this year on a boat called "Phoenix". Their previous boat had been destroyed by fire along with some other boats at their marina and so the name came to them naturally. I hope nothing like this happened to your previous owners. I hope you have many happy years sailing her.

Long awaited, great News.
Very happy for all of you.
Really look forward to seeing you and Phoenix around the East Coast.
What are your delivery plans.
Tim and I are sailing for the next two weeks.
Hope to head south from Oostende and see how far we get.
Would be good to meet up on route.
Will check with you nearer the time.

 

[flipper]

What a Beauty Neil! A proper home from home...or maybe THE home...

Congrats,
Patrick

 

[tillergirl]

I think I'm jealous

 

[nigelm]

All those sails and it still aint going very fast !!

seriously though , congrats to all of you .

 

[Saguday]

Honestly, some people go to extraordinary lengths to get exclusive use of Shotley Lock - or is Parkestone Quay going to be her new berth?

Congratulations Neil can't wait to see her.

 

[FullCircle]

Wot a rubbish boat. You'd really struggle to get any decent crew to deliver her back to the East Coast.

Oilies ready. Check.


Stone Point Broadcasting Corporation out.
