Superyacht advery eBay!

[RobWales]

Wondering what the story is behind this sale?

Fuel consumption stated must be a typo also?

oops...thread title should read ADVERT sorry!

"very small window of opportunity to acquire this yacht prior to being donated to a Government body"

Sounds like a tax issue to me!

Interestingly, while the advert text talks about a reserve of £207k, it is actually a "no reserve" auction. It would be interesting to see what happens if someone wins it for a pittance (assuming they don't pull the listing with a short time left to run).

My maximum bid of £499 has been beaten. :disgust:

 

[beltsandbraces]

might put a bid on that

Don't think I'd be brave enough to send 10% to them before viewing somehow..

im guessing it might use a smidgin more than 50 L per hour at 40 kts!

There has been some slight damage sustained to the bow and also to the portside, but negligible. These repairs have been partly taken care of, but there will be some finishing required.

Sounds like the taxman cometh and they'd rather give it away than let Hector have it!

 

[Ru88ell]

It looks like the ad has been pulled and re-listed for some reason.

Yep, now has a reserve & a more realistic starting price.
