PS I own 2 boats and both are still for sale. over and above what is mentioned here in the spec, I have a lot of "loose" general chandlery and yachting equipment which does not belong specifically to one boat or the other, my intention is to split that as required between the 2 boats. obviously, as long as I still have 2 boats, the first one to buy will have a greater choice. for example, first to buy will also get a Zodiac Fastroller 285 inflatable dinghy with a Mercury 3.3 outboard motor.
