Up coming Sale
Up coming Sale
No way will be on the market in the next couple of months.After nearly a century of family yachts I've gone to the Dark Side and bought a stink boat. Yippeee! a stand-up galley and a walk around island bed.

Re: Up coming Sale
Good luck with your new boat mate. Having gone the other way 17 years ago I know the feeling of changing horses. I still miss aspects of my cruiser, like being snuggled up behind a windscreen on a padded chair when navigating in the rain and wind but it’s important to stay on the water in whatever form suits your chronology.
Let’s hope whoever gets No Way is keen to join the forum .

Re: Up coming Sale
If I wasn't already over-quota for Investigators, I would be all over this.
I don't think it will take long to sell.
Great mods. I have to build a kick up rudder one day...
