What a weekend! We flew to Athens to view a Catamaran Nautitech 40 Open. After a year of preparation, it finally becomes more concrete. We sailed a lot, obtained sailing licenses and an SRC certificate, dreamed a lot and spent many hours researching the perfect boat for our family. Three weeks ago we almost gave up, but then the moment was there: we booked tickets to check out a boat.
Bike, train, plane, car, ferry, car… and then we’re there. What a picture! The Nautitech 40 Open is a beautiful boat for sailing with our family, we are really in love with this model. Of course we see many points that we want to adjust or upgrade so that we can live there comfortably for a year. We are looking forward to starting work immediately.
And in the meantime, Greece is really fantastic. Delicious food, super friendly people and nature is beautiful. It was a quick visit, but we were able to enjoy the country for a while.
Our intention to buy the boat is there, but there are still some hurdles to overcome. A number of repairs, the boat has to go to Croatia and we have to set up a company so that we can rent out the boat before we start sailing ourselves. Fortunately, Dirk from @yacht_match helps us in this process and we are well advised.
It will remain exciting for a while, but hopefully we can get it done in a month!
