Yesterday I met with our yacht broker to officially list Drambuie for sail. It isn't the best time of year to list. Some folks are hesitant to do anything with the hurricane season. Further, our location is off the beaten track so will not have as many visitors. I could have moved it to a more popular location but by keeping it here can continue to use it and insure that it stays in good condition.
On a positive note, those who are seriously looking for an Island Packet will come. When I bought I traveled over the eastern seaboard in my search. This means people who do come are likely to be serious buyers. And, they are on a schedule and with an agenda that will not be influenced highly by time of year.
It will take months to sell in this market. The good news is the boat is in great shape, in fact, our broker said it is the best condition IP 37 he had ever seen.
The boat listing should be up in a day or two and I'll put the link in my blog.
PLEASE, do not anyone say that boat owners happiest days ware hen they buy the boat and again when they sell the boat! This has been a hard decision and I am not happy to be listing the boat and cannot be happy to see it sold. True, if this becomes a multi--year listing my relief will grow but I'm not happy selling my dream and the means that could see it realized. Being a sailor I might deck the person that says it.
Guess I better practice some people skills.
