We are sail boat owners now, how cool is that!
We bought a sail boat together with A's parents'. A's family used to have a sail boat quite many years ago and now they had missed sailing so much that they wanted to get one again. My family used to have a motor boat when I was a child, so I'm not that unfamiliar with boating, but sailing is something that I need to learn. I have sailed a little before with some friends' boats, but I cannot do anything in a sail boat without instructions.
The sail boat is old of course and it does require some maintenance. Besides the yearly maintenance it could use new covers for the seating and sleeping. And curtains could be renewed. Maybe those projects are something I could work on the winter.
This summer we will just enjoy the boat as it is now. Pretty exciting!
how wonderful! happy sailing x
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I'm looking forward to lots of great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting. What a fun summer you'll have.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments. Camera is certainly something I will have on hand all the time when sailing. And I hope I get the hang of sailing soon.
DeleteThat's wonderful! That looks like quite a large sailboat.
ReplyDeleteDepends what you consider large, this is about 27 feet (sail boats are usually measured in feets here too). But it is quite roomy and from the outside it does not appear small either, unless you park it next to a "normal" sized sail boat.
DeleteOk, that is very cool. And that yacht looks quite elegant!
ReplyDeleteOh a yacht! That sounds better than a boat.
DeleteAhoy sailor! Hope you get to enjoy the boat as much as possible this summer. And have fun learning how to sail! I can't sail but I always enjoy being on a boat with friends...
