Hey chums.
My experiment this summer to see how much usage I've had from Artemis has not shown great results. Since launching I have had her out on the water for the grand total of 30 mins and that was only to test the outboard. I have had some problems that stopped me from using her earlier in the summer (major leak through a deck fitting that took months to fix due to bad weather). But finally, the realisation has sunk in that I cannot really justify the costs of keeping her on my own. I don't want any money for the boat (hardly worth it), but I would like to find someone who is interested in sharing her - and sharing the costs of the mooring, insurance and the elbow grease and associated liftout and AF costs.
If you come across any likely candidates, then please put us in touch.
I really want to keep her as we are just not getting the time and opporutnity to take Ocean Lady out - I have never done so little sailing since moving aboard. :-( .
I'm not interested in putting this on the wider forums as I would like to find someone we know, or know ish. And someone local ish.
For those that don't know:
Achilles 24
Triple keel
In mast furling
Log, ES, DSC radio
4 berth (2xquarterberth, 2in V)
Spray hood and dodgers
portapotti
no running water.
Tohatsu 6hp outboard in the well
wiring for Garmin chartplotter, but I don't keep it on the boat.
life ring, bow anchor, kedge, boarding ladder, radio - but no other safety features
Can email photos to anyone interested.
thanks
Lisa
