KOKAMO FOR SALE: Particulars and Inventory
|
Regular readers of the blog, fear
not, we have not suddenly befallen some financial catastrophe. But alas,
the time has come to start marketing Kokamo so that we can sell her at the end
of the year, and grudgingly return to reality. And given the amount of enquiries
that have come in after sticking up a couple of ads, it seemed
easiest to put the details up on the blog. Unless you have a particular
penchant for maritime minutae, I'd skip the next few blog entries entitled
'Kokamo For Sale' - apart from if you fancy sailing around the South
Pacific next year, of course...
For those new to the blog
and directed here for more details on Kokamo - you are in the right
place! On this page I will list her specs (including some background) and
her inventory. Please feel free to browse the blog more
widely for more details on why we bought her (early entries back in May),
and for an insight into our trip on our year away from the UK.
KOKAMO WILL BE FOR SALE IN NEW ZEALAND FROM
MID-NOVEMBER FOR $135,000 NZD
(a sale in Vanuatu from the start of
November would also be possible)
** I believe that Kokamo and our trip was featured in
both the June and July issues of 'Boating Magazine' in New Zealand - so check
out a copy for a journalists take**
