PORT GINESTA 2

We arrived here in JUNE to leave for the summer. Since we have no buyer and the market is low we have decided to sail the Mediterranean and bring the boat to the Adriatic. 

Yesterday we did a sea test and all went well so we can go. Minorca, Sardaigne, Tunisia, Italy, Greece, Crete, Peloponnese and up the Adriatic. I doubt I'll get to Venice but the idea tempts me ... a lot!.

I had not expected to sail my boat again! It is an interesting renewal with Sail2See. I really want to live this experience as a new phase of sailing. Next boat will be Louisiane who is waiting for us at home.

I have decided that even if the experts think the boat is worth 250 to 300 000€ I am going to sell it for   220 000 Euros to someone who will really appreciate it. A couple that want to travel? A lone wolf who wants to do some chartering? Friends who want a Water Sailing Share able to be in far places for vacations? I know how I hesitated before buying this wonderful way of living.

Contact me and for most of you please just distribute the link to this blog, I thank you.

As we were living on the boat, we insured that all maintenance was regularly done with the builder recommended services. We have replaced over time items that neither served well or had broken.

We did a full anti-fouling hull renewal in 2025. They put 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of antifouling. Work done by the Ginesta work yard.

We are ready to "deliver" the boat, once you have purchased it, anywhere in the world for free (you pay ticket back to our home and we share food costs). This means informing you of all the complex equipment on this boat during the delivery.
