Then, there was this mystery 78, the third one, owned by some Italian guy...
MedRascal, the owner of one of my 63s ( "Blackship" ) met up with you in the Med about six (?) years back... said you circled each other, said "hi" and then went on your separate ways.
Small world. |
I guess I'm that Italian guy then...
Never thought I was a mystery!
Yes, I remeber the "Blackship" encounter, it was outside of the Porto Vecchio bay, in South Corsica!!! Its indeed a small world!
Previous my current 78' (hull #4562) I had a 63' delivered in 1991 that was hull #4413. I sailed 4 seasons on the 63' before moving up to the 78'. I bought both my boats from a broker based in Palma that back then was the European dealer for Cheoy Lee. Shame that today they stopped the sailing range ...

True! Experienced from the 63', I had my 78' fitted with a 30Hp hydraulic bowthruster while under construction...
