Greetings Gary (et al),



Point well taken and I realize I'm new to the list and never really
introduced myself.  I'm Charles and my wife is Catherine.  When we can,
we
sail out of Shell Point Marina, Ruskin, FL on S/V Calliste - a Rhode's
22.  
We're just now getting into the market for our "sail away" boat.  I'm
more
experienced than she in the sailing world but Catherine keeps me squared
away.  Our travels to many parts of the world have been adventurous and
most
enjoyable but little of it has been by boat.  We want to go back to
favorite
haunts as well as new locals on our own time and in our own way.



We're looking for a "proven" boat (the local euphemism for "previously
owned
 or "used" as I undersand it) that keep us within our budget but fits
the
bill for blue-water work.  Meanwhile, we're looking for the motivations
behind what results in a sale.  What was the key factor that most
effecting
putting dollars on the table.  We know what we want - we think - but
there's
always an opportunity to learn.



But that's not why we joined the list.  We're looking as well to join
the
local sailing community and meet new people, learn the local haunts, and
become part of the community.



Otherwise, call me CT :-)



Cheers,

CT

CT,

You really should put your name on the forum, in case we meet at the
boat

show. I'd love to say, "oh yeah I know you, we conversed on the
Internet."

We might meet some where, some time...... life is like that, and the

realization will be great. As far as four years of "getting things

together" one needs to cross all the T's and dot all the I's. I think we

need to balance the need to go, with the need to make sure we are
prepared.

It takes time to make sure "YOU feel comfortable" with what you are
going to

do. It's all risk assessment. Insurance is not just a policy, it's
what's

makes you feel like you will survive if something hits the fan. It'll be
at

least three years before we go. Feel free to ask any questions regarding
the

"LEAVING".

 

Regards,

 

Gary Kalember

Greetings Gary,

 

My wife and I are looking to buy our first large boat (we own a Rhodes
22)

to "get away" Reading your email I wonder if you could pass on what was

important to you (I'm new to the list and missed earlier emails) that
helped

seal the deal. Are you more interested in coastal or ocean crusing? What

pushed you to buying a boat that will require 4 years to get ready - or
is

it not a boat issue?

 

If this isn't of interest to the list, feel free to email me at

ctscuba at aquaticworlds.com so as not to bore anyone....

 

Kind regards,

CT

S/V Calliste

Tampa,FL

Gerry,

Yes, we bought from Ed. He's such a great guy. We weren't planning on
buying

this year, but the opportunity arose, we had the resources, just sold a

condo, made an offer we didn't think they would accept and came back
just a

little, and I mean just a little over my low, low offer. And that was
with

the add-ons. We had planned on buying something larger in two years or
so.

We thought we were going to get a used boat. While at the show, we kept

going back to the 400. Lots of stowage, very nicely laid out ( I need an

island berth to get into and out of because of a hip injury a few years

ago), and some very nice improvements over the Mk I and our C34. One of
the

things I really liked, was the access to the engine. Remove front
enclosure,

remove back enclosure, full access to engine on three sides, no making
body

go into unnatural shapes (important as I get older). So the logic was
get

new...fewer maintenance problems. The plan is to get to know her and
outfit

for the next four years. January 1, 2007 is the date, and then..... head

east, south, north, further north.....south, then further south, then

probably further south, then north, then west, north and east again and

hopefully end back up in PC, and figure out what next. Again, I can't
say

enough good things about Ed Massey and his organization. It was a real

pleasure doing business with him and his staff.

Regards,

 

Gary Kalember
