Well I don't know where but I think she has a certain brutal je ne sais quoi - or maybe I'm just fantasising about being Captain Nemo again. Is that really a telegraph pole mast?

Ca Suffit!
Antibes, vieux port. Appalling, and hilarious. The owner lives on board, and clambers around in his old underpants as he gives it a fresh coat of vinyl matt each year. Uuuurg!
the name means "that'll do"

Re: Ca Suffit!
Don't think it ever moves or at least I have never ever seen it move, and in fact i think his "berth" - if that's what that space is - is such that he can't get out without other boats moving out the way first. I somehow bet that he doesn't pay mooring fees, really.
The deck furniture is 2 plastic 5euro chairs and his security system is an old battery which he drags up to the companionway each night. Of special note is the way that the superstructure seems to have been effected without the use of a saw...

Chill Out
Don't knock it.
Reminds me of meeting the skipper of Chill Factor.
She still sailed (though mostly just to get the shopping) despite the plants in the cockpit and moped on the foredeck. I was invited aboard one evening (late) and he regaled me with a portion of his story and various tales of shooting Albanian pirates, while we filled each other with cheap booze.
It was genuine squalor aboard by the standards of the average millionaire (much more H&S nightmare workshop than either home or boat) but it was exactly what he wanted and I honestly couldn't fault it.
So..
Where is it? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Chill Out
well, it all looks sunny and man-made stuff extremely knackered and the killer fact/hint you gave was that the owner liked it all actually being knackered as well, soo... it's gotta be Greece?

Its so sad that you wish to knock other people's boat. Just because its not a AWB and does not cost a fortune doesn't mean it's not someone pride and joy. Whats to say that the owner has more pleasure from his boat that some one sitting on the back of a plastic bathtum sipping G&T's.
