Hi,

Boat Name: to be named (very soon)
Hull: 4436
Email: neil.sullivan (at) thalhimer (dot) com

Current Location: Fredericksburg, VA.
Plans: We plan to begin our liveaboard life in Nov 2012. The boat will be ready late this summer and we plan to sail it to St Lucia for this winter...probably get down there a week per month as we are both still working. Then join the Atlantic Cup Rally in May 2012 from Tortola to Chesapeake Bay, near our home...fine tune the boat in summer 2012, then cast off Nov 2012 fpr points south.

Roger: I would very much appreciate your contact info at Rodney Bay. A good friend from my hometown spends the winters there and is good friends w/ the manager of the marina....thats one of the reasons we chose that location......any contacts you have would be apprecitated.

I realize most, if not all, on this forum are current or soon-to-be owners of Antares purchased directly from the builder (either PDQ or Antares). Given a number of Antares which have recently entered (with some very quickly leaving) the brokerage market, I am considering this option. Naturally, one must compare all of the features/options available on a new-build with those present on a pre-owned yacht, which is pretty straight-forward stuff. Obviously, fit and finish from either builder appears to receive excellent owner reviews. I cannot, however, find any information with respect to any changes/upgrades in equipment now standard on the BA-built Antares, which may not have been available or included as standard on the Canadian-built 44i, nor overall pricing information on the 44i during the 2004-2006 time frame. (I am closely comparing the equipment specs of the brokerage yachts to those detailed on the Antares website.) If anyone can provide, or direct me to, this information, it would be appreciated. Also, Rhumb Line Yacht Sales appears to be the exclusive broker for PDQ/Antares; I would appreciate comments from anyone having experience with them. Thanks!

I hope this forum will allow owners to share ideas and experiences. We are very happy with our hull 23 (Canadian-built). Contact us at Onseabbatical@gmail.com
