What has santa brought you for next season

[Carianne]

Thank you. We have sailed previously as part of a club however with two children, a motor boat seems a better option. The boat with be in the Hamble close to us

Braces to keep my trousers up but I bought a raw water pump for a CAT 3126B for SWMBO. I know how to keep a girl happy! Tee hee!

Not sure if that question was meant for me but, if so, it's the one in the Avatar.

Sorry no Carianne, but nice boat you have too. ?

 

[Carianne]

We have a targa 29. Looked at a 30 but preferred the cockpit arrangement of a 29. Just counting down until nicer weather now so we can use her

Look forward to seeing you in Southampton waters ?

Not sure if it is of interest but we are Hamble based (Foulkes) and have a 10 and 8 year old. Always on the look out for other boating families!

We have a new boat for Christmas but will have wait until April as she is in Belgium.

Our children are girl just turned 12 and a son that will be 9 in January. Both very excited

Hope to see you on the water in 2016. Our kids love it.

I have 2 kids 8&9 both very excited to go boating, finally get mine in March.

Excellent! Hope that our families meet under the searing UK sunshine this summer!!

Just seen that you are Med bound! Oops! Enjoy the sun there too!

 

[Carianne]

Just need a bit of nice weather to bring it around from Gosport on to the Hamble now

 

[Steruth1]

You can't just casually slip that into the conversation. You need to start a new thread giving the name of the boat, where you got it from, where you're going to keep it, what you're going do in the way of refurbs, etc. And lots of pics!

I would survey anything costing more than I could afford to loose. The surveyor certainly isn't the last word in a boat's health and they are limited in what they can check without stripping back AF and pulling decking or otherwise potentially damaging the boat etc. But their experience and knowlege in what to look out for in peace of mind is great. I told my surveyor what I was looking for, what I'd use it for and where I'd use it, and he guided me in my prospective purchase, helping me turn down a boat albeit it "passed" survey in favour of the one I have now. Strictly not the surveyors job, but when they start enthusing about one boat over other(s) it gave great peace of mind. Mind you, paying him a couple of times got a bit expensive but I am quite happy with the result.

Wrong thread!

I'm new at this forum thing joined to have a nosy at threads which helped immensely in our choice of boat
