Aloha All (from Jack & Nicole)
We are reposting this add it did really well last time. Thanks to all that contributed but we did not make a
purchase. We did go and see a couple of cats but did not find the right one for us. So the $500.00 is still up for grabs.
**
We are a younger couple in our 30s looking to make the dream come true on a
budget. We have been saving and planning for 6 years. We are now ready to set out on a 5 year down
wind circumnavigation. I have been doing
scuba instruction and
captain work for the past 10 years. I will continue to do this as we do our
circumnavigation. Nicole is a flight attendant with a lot of friends that fly for free, so we will also be*doing*light chartering. Nicole also writes and is working towards her dive master*certification.* *
So this is the part where you come in. We are offering a $500 reward to anyone that leads us to the
catamaran we
PURCHASE. We know 120k is on the low end for a cat like we want. The
catamaran kitty did not grow as big as we hoped. So we are looking for one great deal on a catamaran.**We are hoping that someone out there knows of a cat that we have not yet seen on the web, as we are VERY familiar with the listings on the top fifteen or so websites.*
We don't mind a cat that needs
work but the
buying price would need to be less than 120K. We would do most the work our selves if possible. A cat that needs re-powering,
sails and TLC would be fine. *
*
We are looking for something bigger than 36ft. and less than 45ft.
We realize that the
budget may not allow us every feature that we want, but here are the ideal features we are looking for in order of importance: good bridge
deck clearance, straight shafts, owners version,
galley up and
dagger boards. We want a low
maintenance simple
boat, but not a wooden
boat.*Again, we know it may be nearly impossible to get every feature we want, but the more features, the better its a compromise. We really like the 39
Privilege, the TPI lagoons and the Admirals.
If you, yourself,*have a cat that is worth more than 120k and if you want to see it make a circumnavigation but you don't have the time or
money and don't enjoy long passages, we may consider an agreement where the
current owner would get some free
charter weeks every year. This could be a great opportunity for everyone.*
**
We are not looking to have someone do a web search for us. We have been spending hours a day on all the popular web sites for more than 6 months. We are just offering a little reward if some one sees a cat
for sale on their
dock or anchorage.*
We are cash buyers and can travel just about anywhere today to see the right boat.*Please personal message any potential cats.
Well, thanks for reading and we hope to give you the $500 reward soon.
Jack & Nicole*
Ps: To the nay sayers, Yes we are 100% serious we will pay by cash,
money order, paypal, cookies and hugs, or
Rum your choice.
