If I remember correctly he had done river boating for 3 years - too scared to go out to sea. Then sets up a charter business in the middle of no where, no bolt holes so has to come back to port for lunch with his clients. More money than sense.
Perceptions to date -
(1) let me see I am the boss, I have the blond, big car, nice little car, 2 kids, big house, concerned about me (I deserve it).........must get a big powerboat.
(2) work hard as teacher, civil servant, social worker, no money, small rented house, concerned about the environment, need something for the few spare hours I have to myself a year..........must get a small sailboat.
Or listening to Antonys witless prattle for the duration of their voyage. I heard Antonys wife has gone into hospital for an operation to have her Hearing removed.

Mr was cleary concerned about quality of life and his family but driven by his partners aims and asperations in the material world. That he found himself out of his depth in anything beyond rubber mats should not be considered his fault IMHO of course.
"Res Ipsa" if I remember correctly. From my schooldays, a literal translation would be "things thus" I think. However I suspect that it's idiomatic and actually translates as "I am a plonker, with more money than sense"

Their website is <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.resipsamarinecharters.com>http://www.resipsamarinecharters.com</A>. Definitely a 2 cabin F42/5 (seems a bit of a odd choice for chartering - I guess they really didn't think about it much).
