Sad way for a boat to go....

[KevinV]

A once nice tri, now in a terrible state, being offered for far too much, by a not very nice sounding BS artist - very sad

Just goes to show, there may actually be a limit to how much you can cover up with a gallon of pussers grey paint!

This person is not familiar with how tides work; given it appears to be on the mud to the west of the marine base at Chivenor anyone can view it at low tide when they like. There also seems to be one too many zeros on the starting price.

Perhaps three zeros...

The vessel is abandoned in a boat graveyard.

Ended no bids. What a surprise!

It will get sold. People who buy multihulls are off their trollies anyway. So someone will come & buy it in time.

Why would anyone want that even if it was fee issue with a bag of cash to go with it ?

I've always liked a tri, and it appears not beyond redemption - certainly within my skillset - but it would at least need to be given away for it to make any sense (in as far as any boat makes sense).

It’s quite dated, and as you say, very down at heel. I think it is financially unviable even as a gift.

Are any Tri,s?

Obviously they’re all worth it when you’re passing somebody’s half million pound race boat as if it’s anchored.

I guess this is the nay-sayers forum then

Please do not pay attention to naysayers and sofa-sailors on forums and Facebook. These are nothing but a gang of resellers who are trying to keep the price low by giving ill advice to the unaware. If you were to buy this exact boat through their own brokerage they would be asking no less than £15K. I know them, I know they do this because they are the ones who keep insisting on meeting me privately outside the auction. Don’t fall for their trap.
