We will call her..... "Matelot"
Matelot Matelot where you go my heart goes with you...
Matelot Matelot when you go down to the sea....

Its been a tough week while we bickered over price and other issues, but we now have a boat and here are the pics.
She is a 2003 Beneteau 411 Celebration. She has slab reefing and performance rig plus 2m keel so we hope to be having some great sailing on her.
She has 3 x double cabins plus a smaller cabin with two single bunks which will be our store room.
We will take possession over the next few days and then have her slipped to do a few things like antifoul and polish topsides.... and we will be doing it ourselves as all trades are too busy to take on more work here.
We are very pleased...
To be continued....

Hi Buck and Pippa.........Breath a sigh of relief that the negotiations are behind you! Now you can get on with the real reason you are there.........to host the hords that will descend to be wined, dined and pampered! All the best Chris
Happy sailing to Capn Buck and his First Mate Pippy.

Buck and Pippa, Conratulations! She looks great. Certainly a lot better than I thought when I read your last posting! We look forward to seeing her! In the meantime hope you have some wonderful sailing on her. Cheers Noel and Kerrin
Bravo! Great choice of name guys. I will have to teach you the Oe, Oe, Matelot song. Bon vent!

Hello UserUsed. Don't know who you are, but would like to know the song!!
Congrats,Matelot looks a good un. Finally tracked your blog down and am catching up with your "good Life" We have some interesting developments over here and may be able to visit in the not to distant future. Could you send us a photo of our cabin so that we can see that it is up to standard, we would prefer a path and en suite tho a solar shower on the deck is an acceptable alternative!! Happy sailing
Regards Gordy and Lorraine XX
We are delighted to read that you now have your dream boat. Have fun getting her up to your high standards. And then enjoy the sailing.
Cheers, Pam & John
