OWNERS COMMENTS
This is a very special yacht, recognised and admired wherever she goes. We are looking for someone with energy and enthusiasm to join the existing owners in enjoying the thrill of sailing such a great boat, as well as helping with the ongoing maintenance and improvement tasks. Arrangements for sailing are very flexible, and result in a competent skipper being able to sail more or less whenever he/she wants!
We realise that joining a boat share is as much to do with the people as the boat, so we would be happy to arrange for prospective owners to sail with existing members for a minimum of two days, for which a fee may be charged (refundable in the event of a successful application).
