Well I hope you find a good buyer for her Jamie.

I'm sure your long history with Top Hats is only on pause and that one day you will return to owning one.

Any time frame on your book yet?

Thanks Phillip,

It's not easy after 20 years and some great adventures. We'll be asking for first option to buy her back after the new owner(s) have had some adventures of their own.

I've made a start on a book but not close to finishing yet!

Yes Frank just posted some pictures here:

I may be interested if she's still for sale. Some pictures would help. The link to yachthub is not working (not sure why).
