Well we have only had the boat three months and this has been SWMBO's first go at sailing so we have not broken out of the Irish sea yet. Got to give her 10/10 as we sold the mobo in March and placed the order for the Oceanis which came in July. Fortunately she loves sailing so much more than the mobo as it is something that we can both do and get involved with.

My attempt to to glue a couple of trips out in the vid to celebrate changing from a hobby to a lifestyle. Enjoy

Hopefully our sailing and video editing will improve as time goes on.

The flappy thing is great, as is the mobo thing

Hey, you make sure You have a motoring cone.

Cor Blimey all that string!!
Enjoy life on the Slant:cool:
 
Excellent vid - not sure it is good seamanship to leave the handle in the winch though!!

Sailed in Greece this year and thoroughly enjoyed it - SWMBO not keen on doing the same in the UK though so the Targa stays (for the time being)!!

Your right with the winch. Dual posted as we had four years with power, first year with a Bayliner 205 and a 5ltr V8. If the government knew how much fun you could have on one of these they would invent a tax! We then went onto a Prestige P32, great boat which we had for the next three years but something just didn’t work for us, couldn’t put it in words really other than I think we might have bought the wrong boat. We spent ages at LBS2006 looking at the P34, P32 and Sealine S34 and ended up ‘buying in the moment’ and I think if we had bought either of the other two then we might still be on a mobo as I think either would have had more useable internal space which was the P32s final downfall.
