Just look at those settees

The presenter bought back memories of Andy Pandy

I like the settees but hate the rest of the boat.

 

[Charlie Boy]

It really bugs me that it’s tasteless AND expensive. It’s just pandering to excessive aspirations and encouraging young people to think that money grows on trees.
Added to which, it’s designed to sail but probably never will. Which is gigantically annoying.
My daughter has a friend who, some years ago thought that sailing involved wearing floaty clothes while standing on the prow of a boat, sipping champagne.
One trip on a Sadler 32 in the North Sea was sufficient to change her views

Well it's clear that the target sales group isn't grumpy old men with ageing 30 foot yachts...

I’m not grumpy, or old, or at least, not compared to the majority here. I do have a ‘slightly’ ageing 30ft boat. That one is too narrow for me, I don’t like it.

I don’t have enough friendsti fill even half those settees…….can you hire beautiful people by5he hour?

Wansy, get the boat…friends will come

 

[Sybarite]

What an irritating woman, less than no idea

She does happen to have a commercial skipper's licence...

And then disappear when it's maintenance time

A boater’s life is not a merry one....

Well she must have missed the lecture on “not-being-bloody-irritating”

 

[Bouba]

Is this what happens when we age ?….we get upset when we see an attractive young woman

Is this what happens when we age ?….we get upset when we see an attractive young woman

And make strange decisions when voting…..

When you're boating on that sort of budget, maintenance is something that happens to other people.

I'd guess that the vast majority of boats like that would have a professional skipper and a chef. If it's hands-on sailing you want, you buy a Spirit

I meant boating in general.

 

[Bouba]

This is wealthy boating in a big boat that cost as much as a much bigger boat

I would imagine most Spirit owners, although hands on sailing, will still likely be hands off for maintenance.

Spirit Yachts are well aware of their target market. Those with signs of having carried out yacht maintenance are not welcome as owners, in my experience.
