Aye, Whirlaway is absolutely gorgeous.
My pal Frank owned her for a number of years, and sailed her out to the Caribbean in about 1991, where she was a regular participant in Antigua Classics and Bequia Easter Regattas, and I think she collected a fair amount of silverware for her racing successes.
Frank has owned a very diverse range of boats and yachts over the years, but I am sure that Whirlaway was his favourite.
She used to have a very distinctive black anodised mast in those days - here is a photo of her from (I think) one of the Antigua Classics races in the early 90's -

Sell the new fancy tupperware soap dish.
Go for it.
That has to be one of the most practical cruising boats I've seen for a long time.

She just stops you in your tracks when you see her, you just have to gawp.
I was actually present at her launch as a youth, mainly for the free champagne to be honest. Us boat groupy kids used to hang around and the yards and hope to get a ride as crew occasionally. Never got a go on her though.

My deep and abiding love for Ms Kidman seems to have lasted.

Fallen in love with work !
But if you get Ms Kidman then you can have the boat and the work force to polish it.
And isn't she rather handy with a flare pistol as well ?
Have to agree I too could look at that yacht all day !

Before you all get carried away. Just think of the "hull scratching paranoia" that would induce.
