Kort bericht van Gerrit " Dit is um...."

met daarbij een link naar de volgende tekst

Lovely boat, in wonderful condition, family cruising and local club racing. T

hey did a couple seasons in the Carib but mainly used in New England.

Mandate 47' Nautor Swan 47 Alt I

Year: 1975 Located in Barrington, RI

Hull Material: Fiberglass

Engine/Fuel Type: Single Diesel

YW# 1607-1771414 Inactive

MANDATE is hull No. 001 of the classic Swan 47, and having had only two owners in her lifetime, she is in excellent shape. Her teak decks were replaced at Jamestown Boat Yard, her engine is Yanmar, the teak interior woodwork shows very little wear and tear, despite extensive cruising & racing. And, with the aft entrance option, she is perfect for short handed sailing. The current owners cruise her mainly from Newport to Nova Scotia, with the occasional Marblehead to Halifax race thrown in! Now on her mooring in Bristol Harbor, RI,.

Na dit bericht hebben we een vergelijking gemaakt met de andere boten, maar daarover een andere keer meer.

Dus als U straks een keer aan boord komt en uit die kruik een echte weduwe BB geschonken krijgt dan weet U waarom er Mandate 09-09-2009 Lemmer op staat.

Hoe die kruik er is gekomen, morgen weer.
