'Minnow'
As a result of advertising ‘Minnow’ for sale on Ebay, a
number of people have shown an interest in the possibility of buying her. A
person who had previously seen her came today for a second look. He liked her,
but it seems she is not a practical proposition for his particular situation,
one of disability, and he has reluctantly decided not to buy her.
I was pleased he came a second time, because he could check
out a few things – nothing to do with the condition or construction of the boat,
but more to do with practical issues on account of his disability. He said she
was one of the boats he thought may be suitable for a disabled sailor, but getting
in and out of her from a dinghy would not be the easiest or safest manoeuvre,
and because of his disability he discovered he could not access the fore cabin.
It was a disappointment for him, but he wisely came to the
conclusion that these restrictions would force him to abandon his initial hopes
of sailing and owning ‘Minnow’. That of course means she is still available for
sale, not that I am making great efforts to sell her. If she has not been sold
by early spring of 2015, I may find that I have a renewed desire to sail her,
but if not, I shall make a concerted effort to sell her.

ReplyDeleteWho knows? You may become 'Minnow's' owner, but if she's not sold by early spring 2015, my comfidence and desire to be afloat may have returned, then perhaps I won't want to sell her.
We'll see.
Cheers,
Bill.
