Sold, clearing up and moving on

[Mandarin331]

Due to health reasons its become clear that carrying on sailing is no longer an option, so sadly Mandarin went into new ownership yesterday, just seven weeks after advertising her, to very pleasant new owners who we know will look after her.

We're now clearing out years of accumulated boat bits, starting with the best and will be posting these on the for sale forum before anywhere else. I mention this here as we're based near Southwold and some items will be collection only.

It'll be a change, leaving the Estuary after fifty years, we never managed to meet most of you on this forum, we have enjoyed your virtual company and will be popping back here every now and again.

Now onwards and upwards to something new, our long planned round Britain retirement trip will now be by road, but it WILL happen.

Good luck (rather than fair winds as you wont need them quite so much). Hope the health thing improves

Will be interested in what you have for sale. I’m at HMS. Looking for a few decent size days outboards if you have any?

Hi Matt, only one outboard and I'm afraid that's only 2hp, but its in very nice condition. Now listed.

We're phasing it so as not to overload ourselves, still building the list
