Princess V39, based in Cote d'Azur.

Rare with that mast, 'eh?

Where did you get that anchor ball arrangement, I could do with something similar on my boat....!

I had the mast fabricated to fit into the jack staff, using a 'normal' plastic anchor ball.

I'm a bit late to this thread.
So, in the hope to be forgiven for the delay, I'll throw in a contribution which doesn't show only boats, but also some nice anchorages.

The boat in the first video isn't actually mine anymore, but since she's the one I owned for longer in many years of boating, and also because timber boats always have a certain "je ne sais quoi" attached to them, it would be unfair to forget her.

The second video shows my current home from home, instead. The plastic one, I mean.
The other two timber masterpieces (one of which built by Baglietto, and I kid you not!) are just for viewers' pleasure.

Wonderful location and and boat.

A little late to the thread, only owned this one since May. Currently going through everything doing some refitting/upgrades.

Thanks Paul, it was a nice boat - sold her a couple of months back.

I’ll try and add the new one to the thread!

The new one, a Finnmaster S6.

For 18 years, we owned Play d'eau. Sold her late last year - still finding it really hard to think we don't have her any more...

She is a beautiful boat and a credit to you, she now resides in Bucklers Hard, I look at her longingly every time I pass her to get to ours.

Very nice picture Piers. I can imagine you're missing PD very much.

Time to order another? Did you see the F55 at Southampton show a couple of months ago? Very nice machine and belongs to a good friend of mine - a very experience Med and UK boater. He would be happy to show you around if you wish (it's on S coast UK) , not that you lack familiarity with that model of boat

The best way to spend time imho after you've sold your last boat is to get into designing/building the next one

I can barely maintain a boat, let alone build one.
Looks amazing.
How long that did take?

Twelve years - on average about 20 hours a week!

The phrase "Your Boat" has a whole other meaning in this instance

That's not bad going. The Devil's in the detail as you know and that is what eats up the time!
