Its Plan B now... here report of my failure search for timely acquiring a Racer for full 21/22 season..

 Can't find the right potential podium racer for Caribbean race season in time..

 

Preferably light, 3 cabins, open ass, tiller 

and really preferably draft reducible to less then 2m..

         Serious options have been......

1. Pamlico 80usd 1996 38 Andrews Westerly Racer with liftkeel Annapolis

This boat had not so much backed up maintenance like 80000+ usd ...  😒😒😭😭😭
that letting me fly in 
under assumption that I could sail it home (told them).. 
close 2 criminal.. 😒
 
 
 


 2.  Archambault A40RC    nice but not enough...

 

 3.  2018 450usd J 121 Custom, J/121 Turbo40ft  Charlevoix, Michigan

  Watertanks.. so Crew of 6 enough..  not won anything yet..

and choice for water filled ballast tanks is for whole series 400kg constant with you..πŸ˜₯😒😑😭😭

                                                                 And only 2 cabins

 4.  1999 50usd Reflex 38 Touch2Play or almost Condor2  Trinidad

Was already payed in full in client account upfront, 

flight was booked 2 pick up boat and announced 3 weeks in advance..   

But then I was told they needed more time, was not possible..

Then Surveyor called me on Sunday afternoon and asked me NOT 2 buy boat..

Pictures next day of details inside.. (finally after month trying 2 get all info I wanted/needed)

Well, if surveyor asks you not 2 buy boat..  😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

with plenty proof 

I had still more then month 2 accept boat..  but it was clear..

Followed advises advisors..... and got all money back, no worries..

in this boat no interior was no issue, if necessary people could sleep in it..

5.  2013 345e 12m BLACK LEGEND 2  St Tropez

  Code 1 Bl L2 no foils ie shorter mast..so it is.. a  Cruiser.. site says  😒

6.  2012 300e Custom built 42 Kuka Light     in nice Nice

can't get it here in time for this season.. πŸ˜•πŸ˜–πŸ˜­πŸ˜«πŸ˜’πŸ™πŸ’ͺπŸ’₯   😘😘

kuka-light build

kuka-light the team/mitch-booth/

 

7.  1996 145e OVNI 43  Le Marin Martinique

This one would obviously not be meant for racing btw.. 

this Alu boat is back in maintenance (full sandblast and new paint top and bottom 20, and inside 10) and needs full new electronics/auto pilot/navigation 20 etc.. 😒😒πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺπŸ‘Ž

Owner asking 2 much, 130e under survey acceptable by owner, but surveyors no time until in next year..

Boat solid and nice..   πŸ˜‹

so 2 much time and money..  wait for better boat/deal/more time

Due 2 roadblocks/protest closed Hotels etc I was invited to stay Chez Casa Michele and Sasha..

 



8.  2004 250e X482 Carb mast, turn key..  St Barth


 Allan says he's on the podium here with Voile and with his other x482 in the Med ..  

with crew of 12..  πŸ˜‡πŸ˜πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜₯😨😩😭😭😭😭😭😰😰

I wont be able to handle organizing 10/11 all the time..  

unfortunately.. 

top boat..


9.  Plan B (no new other boat for time being)..  

      only part of plan floating.. 

and no racing for time being...................  πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯
