My 1968 Olsen Nimbus restoration project.

The car doesn't cost money to sit there. I don't want the boat to go downhill while I'm not here. I'm willing to talk price on the boat. It's important to me to not see her go down. By all means post a link

Thanks for the link We'll see what she's really worth.... Breaks my heart, but no point in me worrying about it all the time because I'm not home.
I got a phone call the other week because the cover had blown off. She needs a new loving caretaker.

Hi,
Sorry t hear that you haven't sold her yet, hope that you are enjoying the new job ?
Off to Galicia for the Festival de Sardinas in June again 🍷
In the process of another refurb overlooking Bembridge Harbour this time.

All the very best KT.

No sniffs, plenty watching, and lots of views. Hopefully a bidding frenzy will start at the last minute. We'll see. Been down this afternoon and put on a new cover.
Back to Italy in the morning. I really need to concentrate on my job at the mo. I think she'll be signed over at the end of May.
My new office is coming along nicely. I made it very clear to the yard that my OCD wouldn't tolerate miss-matched deck plates. They made a pretty good job of matching up the chequer plate

[mickrick]

Sorry about the neck exercises! Have fun in Galicia by the way

[Kneetrembler]

That's lovely, really well laid out and spotless, are you commisioning at the moment or just coming up to it ?

Where will be your base or not known yet ?

[mickrick]

It's looking like she'll be signed over next week.
We'll be based in Mallorca
One of the boxes the job ticked for me

[Kneetrembler]

Excellent news for the home port, hope all goes well for you with the job & that you manage to move the Nimbus on as well.
Have a great season.

I'm hoping it does NOT sell and ends up getting moved to Mallorca.

Steve

[mickrick]

It is in Mallorca

[Steve_D]

So I'm not understanding this.
If you are going to be based there then why do you need to sell?

Steve

[mickrick]

I'll be based home for the winter, but I'll be away in the summer season.
This year I already spent 6 months here in Italy, for the build of the yacht I'm working on.
I won't get back now untill the end of September, except for a weekend at the end of this month.
My life has changed in the 10 years I have owned her, as have my priorities.
I just don't have the time to finish her, and keep her up.
Time to let someone else take over custody and move on.
I have enjoyed getting her this far.
