    Tim-
    Thanks for the message and the kind words. As a matter of fact, your reply was the only one I received. This doesn’t surprise me as I think few people are looking for older cruising boats - I think most buyers are looking for sugar-scoop transoms, electric winches, bow thrusters and engines with low hours - none of which does my boat have. The rise in popularity of catamarans is a testament to the large number of people that want a roomy place to party and comfort on long passages be damned.

    Yours was a good story about buyer’s remorse. It speaks highly of your judgment of character. Did you buy another boat? Do you miss the Laffite? What was her name?

    I’m not particularly sad to be selling our boat - even though I feel my identity is deeply imbedded in her. After all, she has so much of my blood, sweat, tears, time and money that my identity might go sailing into the sunset and leave me behind!

    Thanks again for the message.

    Fair winds and calm seas,
    Neal

    on a lifetime of owning and operating boats and 8 years as a live aboard in the West Indies .
    Experience includes complete rebuild of three salvaged vessels. Upon boarding for the first
    time, expect a mini survey of the vessel, its systems, equipment, rigging, spares, tools, and
    safety gear. Completed Yanmar diesel course.
    Personal No smoke, alcohol, drugs, allergies, seasickness.. I will not sail on a boat, which
    allows smoking in cabin; Alcohol by others is no concern –but not to excess underway. No

    Reach locator/transmitter; 406 PLB EPIRB; standalone GPS/tablet with Time Zero Nav
    system. I can also provide an Iridium Phone on request.
    Offshore sailing with people who do not know each other can be wonderful or a disaster.
    Everyone must be completely candid about abilities, expectations, and the condition of the
    vessel. This resume is accurate, and I expect equal candor and accuracy regarding you, your
    vessel and your expectations. I en
