"SVEA" LOOKING FOR A LOVER

Beautiful historic "SVEA" is now ready for a new lover. Someone who adores a classic yacht, with raked wooden masts, endless brightwork, teak and varnish, and bevelled glass windows. This is a yacht that has seen the world, twice over, and has travelled the oceans for at least sixty thousand miles. This is a yacht that has seen innumerable sunsets, squalls and shimmering waters. Some things never change, and then again some things do.................... and often for the better. "SVEA" is now equiped with many modern advances, such as a GPS chartplotter(and a spare), wind-generator, dual stainless steel 45lb anchors, and an electric anchor windlass. Even the tiller has an auto-pilot to steer it, and down below the lights are no longer all oil-lamps, but are now 12v electric. The water tanks are now flexible bladder tanks, with pressure water to the taps and faucets and the parafin cooker is now a two burner LP gas stove with oven. In the aft-locker is an inflatable dinghy and outboard motor, and in this modern day and age, "SVEA" comes equiped with VHF radio, a 4-man inflatable liferaft and a registered 406 EPIRB that sends a distress signal within seconds of any emergency................... Anyone would think I'm trying to sell this little piece of history......................... well, yes, they're right..............
As the Chinese would say " VEDDI DIVICULT SAIL TWO SHIP SAME TIME "



So double-click on all the photos, and pass it on to friends and all those who might make a good "LOVER". Email us and we will email them the poster with the info on the right, or better still give them our blog to ponder whether the time has come (or not) to give up the day job...............................
JUST CALL ME on (904) 234 1144 I'm not on the phone all the time...............
