Making an offer

[IanCC]

Came across a nice looking sailing boat called Gregal23 designed bythe late Angus Primrose for a Spanish boatbuilder in the 1970s.By e-mail I offered just over half the price as at12,000 euros itwas too much………no reply yet.Maybe as the summer wares on and the rain and winds of autumn arrive the price may drop?

Seems to me you disrespected him and he is returning the favour. You made a cheeky offer, it failed, move on.

Daimo 23 - another nice little boat. At least I’m expanding my knowledge of sub 25’, 40+ year old yacht designs.

My wife's tactics when buying a horse is to put a bottom in the market and leave them to think about it. Never buy unseen, but before travelling speak to them to see if they will accept offers.

The blue one? Very nice!!

Thisrecent boat was too perfect there was nothing to do nothing to tinker with?

A double boat……never catch on?

 

[Wansworth]

We have to double down and get on with serious grown up things like tidying the garden and washing the cars will now wait till the autumn to see if more boats come on the market?

What you really want is a campervan with a wooden steering wheel I reckon .

And no sagging headlinings !

Edit: you could always drill holes in the roof if you get nostalgic about the sea

What do campervanners talk about……high wind on the A6,headwinds approaching Basingstoke?

 

[LittleSister]

What is a boat but an extremely slow camper van with terrible suspension?

The cars will need cleaning in the autumn whether or not you clean them now, and the garden will self-tidy once winter arrives.

Your excuses don't stack up, and you still haven't come up with a good reason to dismiss that lovely Daimo 23.

We're beginning to get the impression you don't actually want a boat!

Yes. If only you could find something wind-powered. ?
