I also saw Philos when hauled. The long extension was interesting. And the condition was a bit questionable. Arctic Tern was not so bad by comparison, outside only.

I am not looking, but I like to look.

Not a whole lot of boats meet your requirements.

I looked hard at Philos but she was in Norway and then my wife got sick and Covid all hit at the same time. I have emailed back and forth with Richard who has Issuma, a Damien 2 and is in Newfoundland. There was one in Grenada that was for sale but then it must have sold as it disappeared off the net. I tried to hunt it down to no avail.

I am going to look at a boat in the next week so we will see what happens there. I know it will be hard to tick ALL my boxes so I am flexible. if you see anything else, please let me know.

We are looking to move to NS so you may see me out there.

We spent 2017 and 2018 in Grenada. There was no Damien in the Grenada Marine yard. I was not in any other yards.

Good luck, we may meet in Passing.

I believe it was at Spice Island, but not 100% sure. I still have a guy down there looking around for me. There is an Aluminium Kanter there but needs work and the price is high, Ill just wait and see.

Ya if thing settle down I will be in NS this summer.

I emailed the broker and he responded that the boat is now off the market whatever that means. Maybe it sold but he had to ask the owner.

Preferably in North America. I would look at pilot house models as well.

Thank, Dale

Thanks for posting.

Since I posted this thread my wife has been diagnosed with cancer so our lives have changed in no small way. We just relocated to Jacksonville, FL to get her into the Mayo Clinic. I am out of the market for a Damien but I sure appreciate you letting me know about it.

Thanks, Dale
