New Boat (to me that is)

[Vara]

At the start of the year I started the search for my retirement boat, spec list was;

Fairly new

32/34’

Jen 35 SO as benchmark (Fullcircle has a lot to answer for! ).

Conventional sail plan with stacpac

No Teak

No in-mast furling.
………………………………......................................................................................

This is what I bought.

Well I got the length about right!

Boat will be called “Vara”

Based at Dover.

Free loaders, spongers, forumites welcome to visit.

She looks great afloat, have you had a suitable re-naming ceremony?

Your accommodation has been allocated, but I'll have to take the chain and anchor out first.

T of course will have the main stateroom. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

FullCircle does indeed have a lot to answer for, if it wasn't for him we would have happily remained mobo's. Congratulations, she looks very nice.

[Scotty_Tradewind]

very nice but it's about that age that the teak will start to get tired and the main furler will get jammed and the.....

only jealous!

 

[photodog]

First class all the way... what do they call Malo's... The Bentley of the seas!

No good can come of this rash action.

I also deny any responsibility. Ahem.

So, have you entered Ramsgate Week in Vara, Col? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif


I look forward to a splash of whisky to celebrate your medical condition, previously undiagnosed.


Very best of luck with Vara, they are so beautifully put together.

Jolly nice too, we shall knock on the hatch next time we're down there.
