It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a retired man in possession of a moderate pension, must be in want of a junk-rigged boat.
I've been sailing, but not owning, pointies for the past 20 years. But with retirement now upon me, the time has come to buy the boat I always said I'd buy in retirement.
I've been a lurker here for many years before becoming a member, and despite never having sailed a junk, am convinced of the arguments.
The problem is trying to find one. While there have been a few recent candidates that were within my size/price range, they've been in the US or further abroad. The only things that show up in the UK appear to be in the size range that will never get my first mate aboard.
If anyone is thinking of selling, or knows of anything for sale in the UK, I'm interested in what's available.
