The racers are all out racing on a Sunday morning.
PS At that price I would be very tempted. Unfortunately I won't be in the market for three years yet!

She is looking very dirty and un-loved because of the Trinidad oil industry smog. Nothing that some serious elbow grease won't sort out.
My thinking at the moment is that once my house in SA and one business is sold, I will fly to Trini, do the work, sail her to the UK and put her on the market there for circa £55k.
At the current asking price, I was hoping that someone would jump at the opportunity and fly out to Trini too fetch her and make themselves a nice little profit.

I do think a lot of the problem is location location location... Its not just the air fare to far away places its the hotel and meals and car hire/taxi maybe all for nothing if she is not as good as the broker/owner says.
I have been looking at some much larger boats recently - the ads I mean.. There are some bargains in Turkey and Greece but to look at all four around the Greek islands would cost me £2000 -- yes that's the fares for 2 + ferries and moving between boats -- lot a dosh. there are two in the UK and I can visit both on the south coast in 12 hours for £200 from La Rochelle all in...
It has to be that and your right boats look tatty if they are on the hard in the tropics for long.

If only I had a spare £34-000.00 , for a BENETEAU OCEANIS 390 BUILT IN 1988 that is pretty good money /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

And I suspect that since there is no broker involved, that nice Mr Stingo Esq, would do the honourable thing by accepting an offer which takes the brokers commission into account.

Boat's stuck the other side of the Atlantic - the market's this side of the Atlantic.
