hdra 74 #6 Posted May 18, 2020 Is that the same schooner that was sitting on the dock at Pendennis a few years ago having been foreclosed on by the bank? Looks like it's in the same place but facing the other direction... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it's in the same place but facing the other direction... Pretty sure that schooner is Adela. The foreclosed boat in Pendennis was Windrose. Even with the new artwork, Adela is a whole different league and the owner and crew push the boat hard, it's done the C600 a few times and clocked something like 52 sail 'manoeuvres' during one race.

Student_Driver 162 #10 Posted May 18, 2020 Looks like Adela. It’s for sale. $13MM. The owner died a few years back. Beautiful restoration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foreclosure!? I'm surprised, I've always thought stupid expensive boats and houses were all cash transactions for the super rich... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I bought my Maserati a few months ago at the Maserati Bentley dealership, I was (of course) taken to the finance manager's office, to get pressured to buy a warranty and lending products providing the dealership with appropriate kickbacks incentives. "Nope, just run my debit card." The manager was dumbfounded. I asked, "Don't most purchasers of Bentleys and Maseratis just pay cash?" And her response: "No, nobody. Everyone leases."

When I bought a 5 speed toyota 14 years ago, (gosh time flies!) the head of sales already knew me well enough to not put me through that finance guy. The only thing she warned me of, "you know that if you want to get the car in the next couple of days, there's only one color..." to which I said, "yeah, I know, I'm probably buying the only stickshift they sent to the whole country this year." When I went back to dealer a few years ago to buy a new car, the newer sales person evidently didn't look up my files and sent me to the room with the annoying finance guy. I ended up walking away. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dealerships don't make money on cars. That is NOT their business. Their business is making loans. the cars are at best the come-on and usually seen as just a nuisance. They all went to the Jack Welch (What a Dick!) school of business. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
