prospective part-owner update please

[Guest]

A while ago jfm, poster hereabouts, mentioned that he was advertising for a new third-share owner of his boat, advertised in MBY too. He outlined a rigourous interview process, which involved taking applicant to the pub, buying all the drinks, and then seeing if they buy loads of drinks back, thereby ensuring that they aren't skinflinty. Now, some people might also praps suggest secondary stage of ensuring that applicant is also light of foot to wc/over side whilst sloshed and pre-barfing, and/or works for a carpet cleaning company. But anyway, I do wonder how it's going? Did anyone consider this? Or has anyone applied, but failed, having fallen under the table at the fifteenth lager whilst jfm gets taken home by mrsJfm on a sack cart after a whole wekeend of interviews? having visited his boat, I can report it very nice, tho loos may need overhauling soon...

Full update.....

Complex circumstances fraid. (For those not with the plot or not seen my earlier mention of this, I have multiple boats but only a share in each, namely a F'line and a Jeanneau, plus smaller boats which through oversight and carelessness on my part I own 100% of)

The 1/3 of Brave Heart is still for sale, and a 1/3 in the Jeanneau is about to be for sale too. BH was on P166 MBY last month (not the current issue, the last one with big GrandBanks on cover), bottom of page. Not fair on me to give any details publicly as my friend who is selling the share needs to handle the details and £££, but a number of enquiries have been pursued and I expect the hinterview round hic to shstart shoon. If anyone's interested it is still available at the time this goes to press. It's a 1999 Phantom 42 blue hull in Lymington with full kit incl genny, rib, all elec galley, big colour Simrad plotters everywhere, navtex, radar with 48" open scanner, cherry galley, TV, part 1 reg, etc etc, all prof maintained since new. The bogs do work, I can get them MOTed by Haydn if you dont believe me. Cost is about 1/3 and use it every 1/3rd week. If you buy the Jeanneau 1/3 share as well (I'll give you discount on bulk purchase) you can use that another week, then take a week off mowing the lawn then back to the F'line the next weekend, see. Simple innit? Matts and Coliholic have seen it, and it's parked next to Piers' V40 so it smells a bit of leaky antifreeze ;-)

Details on Jeanneau to follow

Anyone want annuver boat? Lemme know. 8%+VAT to Matts grrrrr

Ah, now your profile makes sense...

... I thought your boat had a long, odd name.

Re: Full update.....

Presume Jeanneau is sail?

Re: commission

ah yes. At 8%, means every 12th pint consumed during the interview process (ie 12th 24th etc) you owe me a pint too. And half a cup of sick. Very fair.

Re: Sailboat.....

Pete yes, sorry I forgot that Jeanneau make motorboats too. Yes, it's a fully rag and stickequipped Jeanneau Sunfast sailboat. I'm AC/DC you see, as someone on the BB once suggested
