Money

[cagey]

Determined this year not to spend any money on toys for my dream.
How come then I have spent many thousands already this year, Sail valeting, wear and tear on Canopy and Sail cover, Anodes, Antifoul, Yard and Crane Fees, Insurance etc and its only Jan.

I don't see any toys listed, so looks like your doing well.

The last time I totted up how much the boat actually cost to run, I sold it.

Strangely, I bought another one. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

People keep asking me how much my new boat is costing me.

My answer is I don,t wish to know.

Sounds like its time to trade down.

I think the tenner a week I have to pay to keep the boat at the local plant nursey is exorbitant. I used to pay the farmer £2 until he sold the land for development. All other costs for a small yacht are much smaller in proportion. Anodes, Antifoul, Yard and Crane Fees - what are those?

However, I do worry about the cost of petrol for towing down to the Med for a few weeks this year. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think so too. I paid about half that for mooring on the Thames. Try a farmer, or a small sailing club.
