At a guess that would be exclusive of food, drinks and tips. So you would need to add another 10k at least to that lot!
Epic Boat, you should see the pictures of where the rotating mast is based inside the hull.
Correct that is just for the boat and crew all other consumables are on top.Epic Boat, you should see the pictures of where the rotating mast is based inside the hull.

Got one of these for trundling around on.
Race on this every week.
And a friend lets me use one of these if I feel the need for speed!
The best of all worlds!!!
ETA. All we need now is the bl**dy weather - got absolutely soaked last night racing and it's nearly July FFS!!!

She's based on Baroque but has had her lines tweaked a bit in line with what my dad wants. The frame, hull & decking were put together in Cochin & apparently the workmanship was excellent. She's now in a yard in Gloucester where there will be some more work done, I have been roped into shifting a few tonnes of ballast in a few weeks.
Is that the pilot cutter up on the hard (next to the shed) at Tommi Nielsen's yard? If so, I think your Dad was the surveyor of the ketch; 'Halcyon' 
Cheers

Halcyon is a beauty pic's here. Mate of mine did some naval architect type stuff for her and told me that the surveyor now had his own pilot cutter at Tommi's for final fit out and rigging.
[Sherlock Holmes]Must be your Dad then[/Sherlock Holmes]
Post some pic's when you get them as it'll save me calling Tommi for some as we both have stutters and takes us hours just to say hello
I was in Antigua in Jan 2000, Le Grande Blue was there, prior to Mr Abramovich buying it, we were chatting to the first mate. Apparently Sean Coombes (?) J Lopes traveling with Hugh and Liz turned up having chartered it for the week.
It was then requested that only the bare number of crew stay on board, over half the crew I heard went on shore leave with circa $10000 tips to amuse themselves. I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve that this sort of thing is the norm.

Nice idea to talk to boat and car nuts. No pics, but I teach dinghy sailing and powerboating, and race an Albacore and an ISO in club competitions in Lincolnshire. Also have a Sunfast 2000 day sailer on the river Minho between Portugal and Spain. The Northwest of Spain is a fantastic sailing area, anyone been?
With flooding in Lincolnshire at the moment, must make sure I pick up the keys to the wife's Freelander not the Caterham Superlight! Not much freeboard on a Caterham!

Got an RS200 at the moment, thinking of upgrading to a B14/RS800/59er soon though.
Used to sail Mirrors and was for a time in the RYA development South West squad, training and racing together every few weeks.
Nothing is as fun as hooning down a broad reach, assymetric spinnaker up, fully planing, with the boat on song hiking flat out. bo
ocks to going upwind though!

I worked at Tommi's many years ago, still have chums there and like to keep up to speed with what he's doing.
The old man confirmed that he was the Halcyon surveyor, I get the impression that he quite likes herDid you ever do any work on Shabab Oman when working with Tommi?

I was out sailing in a load of these last year.. Must admit that although the RS's are bloody quick I found them cluttered in comparison to the NN'er range. The 'er's seemed to be more focused on the abilities of the sailor while the RS's seemed to be more favoured towards the fidlers / tuners. Both fairly equally fast.Just my 2p.
