In July of 2014 I purchased a 42 ft sailboat. She was built in 1985 by Hallberg Rassy in Sweden. In this series of videos I will be documenting my experiences as I fix things, break things and alternate between the pleasure of sailing and the sheer terror of narrowly averting disaster. In other words, the life of a sailboat owner. Click the subscribe button to follow along.

This Wharram Tiki is an extremely reluctant sale by its Canadian owners. They only purchased the boat just before lock down and planned a few years sailing in the Mediterranean. They only stayed on board and had a brief play with the boat before returning to Canada intending to return shortly, but unfortunately life's events have prevented them from getting to the boat, so the tough decision has been to sell. Coincidence has a part to play in this tale as the previous owner just surprised me as I was writing this description and came to say hi! Robert and Helen the previous owners and builders have their new catamaran moored on the same dock and have promised to help us with the sale, if anyone needed any help familiarising with the catamaran on purchase as the current owners will not be able to make it..... They nostalgically still walk by their old friend every day to and from their boat. The legend is if you cut a Wharram owners head off they will have Wharram stamped through them like Brighton Rock, ha! Many have as much fun building their catamarans as sailing them. This one is a really professional build and one of the best Tiki's I have ever seen. Where ever you wander on the planet you will undoubtably see a Wharram sitting in the marina or at anchor. These sea worthy tried and tested catamarans have a massive following like the VW Camper Cult! Don't forget wether you have spent 3.5 million on your luxury supercat spending 35,000 on this gem you will be sharing the same view! Being in Sant Carles De La Rapita with cheap transferable moorings, This is a micro cruiser with everything on it! Chances are that your already part of the Wharram following and looking forward to the lifestyle that accompanies it! The key items that come with Mango are: Forestay (2017) bridle (2014) Spectra shrouds (2015) and lazy forestay (2011)

Giorno 39 - paradiso in terra (ovvero isola di Tuarredda) La sveglia arriva molto presto (presto per i ritmi di mare, per intenderci) Alle 7:00 siamo già in piedi e operativi con i nostri computer, perché oggi ci attende una media navigazione e vogliamo avere la mente sgombra. Tiriamo su l’ancora intorno alle 9:30 e ci prepariamo alla navigazione. Armiamo i terzaroli della randa e ci mettiamo in rotta. Prua su Carloforte, un’altra meraviglia sarda. Dopo un’oretta di navigazione mista a lavorazioni, il vento rinforza e il mare con lui. Per fortuna abbiamo armato i terzaroli, perché il vento non accenna a diminuire e noi non possiamo fermarci. Proseguiamo così per circa mezza giornata, di bolina stretta, facendo bordi per risalire il vento e l’isola, mentre ci diamo i turni al timone. Chi non guarda la barca è sotto a lavorare. I picchi di vento e onda sono arrivati alle 13, quando con 30 nodi in raffica avanzavamo di 8.5 nodi. Noi sempre con vele ridotte. Arriviamo in una baia molto riparata intorno alle 18:30, dopo un totale di circa 35 miglia di bordi. L’adrenalina accumulata sembra non voler più andar via, perché riprendo il pc e lavoro fino alle 21:30 circa senza sosta, in un flusso creativo unico. Andrea è vicino a me, ma finisce le sue lavorazioni prima di me e pensa alla cena. Per due marinai il menù di oggi propone fettine di tacchino in padella! Un pasto magro. In fondo non ci piace troppo cucinare. Però che buona la cena quando hai fame 😋 A domani!
