Sailed Ulua today in a nice breeze she is super fast!tsunamichaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377379823756515363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556034524339788728.post-3001645863434184352009-07-21T13:28:11.726-04:002009-07-21T13:28:11.726-04:00Hi Thomas,
What a shame to see such a delightful ...Hi Thomas,<br /><br />What a shame to see such a delightful boat being neglected.<br /><br />My first ever cabin cruiser was a silhouette.<br />She was one of the original hard chined plywood versions.<br />Apart from being my very own little ship, she was great fun to sail.<br />Your post has brought back many, many happy memories of the countless hours of fun I had pottering about in her.<br /><br />I bought her from a family, husband, wife, two sons and a large dog, who believe it or not had owned her and cruised on her for years.<br />Quite how they all fitted into her is anyone’s guess but they clearly loved her and enjoyed sailing her.<br />They had just upgraded to a Hurley 22 but were still reluctant to sell their silhouette and I was strictly vetted before I was allowed to buy her.<br /><br />This is a perfect little first boat ideal for pottering and learning on.<br />Let’s hope that someone does buy her soon. <br />They won’t regret it and I'm sure they will have lots of fun. <br /><br />This is too good a boat to be left on the beach.<br /><br />Mike.Mikehttp://www.diy-wood-boat.comnoreply@blogger.com
