Sas Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Afternoon All, HOW HAVE I MANAGED TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT THIS???!!!!!! EEEEK!!! Finally managed to bag a beauty, after all the false-starts etc, so am posting a couple of pics below. Next Sunday, we will pick her up and cruise back from Cheshire up the Lancaster to a winter mooring. To say I'm excited is an understatement!!!!! But........I couldn't have done this withut the HUGE help/ support and guidance from members here...in particular.........( sniffs......holding a golden windlass.......) I'd like to thank..........Rog ( Albion...CC), Alan de E....Athy....MtB....Bettie Boo.........Arbutus ( for all your detective work), Chagall, TDH.......... and anyone else who knows me......... You have been fantastic- thank you.

Sas Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks Star! Thanks All!! I realise this is just the beginning in terms of seeking advice here.....the cruise back will be a bit tight as we head for the Ribble Link on the 25th! :-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulstoke1975 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Where did you purchase it from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan de Enfield Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 You-ve had some ups, and some downs, and a few sideways as well, but you did it. Specification change from 45 foot Cruiser stern to 58 foot Trad, - budget huge change, but there again - who ends up with the boat they thought they wanted.

Albion Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 To say that it has been a winding path to this superb result would be an understatement but it is a lovely boat and you should be proud and excited to own her, of course you should. Good luck with the homeward cruise. Dawn starts in order maybe? Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G2 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Absolutely gorgeous boat! Congratulations! How about some details. Price would be helpful too, if you don't mind. So many people come on here asking about buying a boat and price is always is a big question. Comparable sales are quite useful for gaining insight into what the market is like. The boat really is nice. Great shape, paint job, portholes.... it's really a head turner and you should be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chagall Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Thanks Rog and Sabcat, I doubt I'll sleep much in between!!! :-)) Yay! Good luck getting over here ... let me know when I can come and kick the tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sas Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Exciting times! Well done - looks like a lovely boat Thanks Ange and Patty Ann, it's been such a roller coaster, from that first dreadful survey in May, on what I thought was THE ONE, through a couple of "almost gots" ( as boats were being snapped up en route to brokers!) through to this one.....sighs.....:-)) Absolutely gorgeous boat!
