Hello new friend
Maybe one of the best days in a boat owner’s life is the day the boat is sold (Goodbye, dear friend, editor’s letter, PBO, December 2023). When I sold my Tornado 31 after 20 years of ownership it was a sad day followed by five sad and grey years. I sail single-handed and had found 31ft quite hard to manage at 66 years. Five years later I said to my wife:
“Someday I will buy another boat.” And then she said the most beautiful words: “If you really want it buy it now.”
The same afternoon I found a wonderful Beneteau Evasion 22 and I bought it. Since
