New boat part 2

[Lightwave395]

My work here is done, by Monday I'll be the hopefully proud owner of a Dufour 38 Classic

She's out of the water now for 3 weeks, looking forward to getting her into shape before heading back to her new home in Southern Brittany

Several minor bits and pieces to do from the survey but nothing not anticipated

Unfortunately my user name on here no longer fits but it at least will remind me of my 20 years of Oyster ownership, the new owner loves her

As an aside, anyone looking for a broker I would heartily recommend John Wilson of Yachtsnet, as was recommended to me on this forum and who did a first class job of managing the sale of my previous boat - I take back anything I ever thought about brokers !

Good looking bit of kit. Hope you have a lot of fun with it.

Sadly it does. Still not logged in since 2021 and only six posts, always worth an ask.

You could use Dufour Chillout.

I think the name 'Chill out' is likely to be consigned to history...

She's likely to become the 3rd 'Orvieto' I've owned

 

[Wandering Star]

Or you could rename Chillout to Lightwave395. Nice looking boat and I hope you enjoy her!

stick with your original name, just amend your bio

A good broker is worth every penny
Imo too

Happy shakedown cruise !

To conclude this thread, it's done, it's over, the boat is mine.

We'll be down there tomorrow to start clearing out an awful lot of 'stuff', the yard are giving the engine and saildrive a full service and we'll be thoroughly cleaning and preparing for fresh antifoul before departure in a couple of weeks.

Congratulations. Hope you get lots of good adventures over the coming years.
