What's going on with the boat?

After ten years living on Tarquilla we have moved to land. I'm often asked if we love the house or miss the boat and the real answer is - both. We still have Tarquilla and we are open to all options at the moment as far as her future is concerned. We will carry on working on her, it would be great to be able to sail her again. The Scilly Isles, Portishead marina, Bristol harbour and Falmouth are all places we have talked about as well as many others further afield. But, on the other hand, if a family was looking for a boat, ready to do the preparation she needs and wanted to take her on then we would sell her. She is not ready to sail off into the sunset but has a lot of life left in her. If you or someone you know would be interested then please contact us. She is 3 ply cold moulded, 42 foot long, one off design built in the 1960's. She has 2 double cabins and 2 single berths, a good size saloon, a decent size galley, head and a covered cockpit. She has two engines and a full suit of sails. We have lots more photos and can provide more details or answer questions. In the meantime, this blog has come to a natural pause for now as we take on new adventures.

A candle for Kitty

For all those whose journey ended too soon and in recognition that we do not know what life will give us next.


 


This short blog is a tribute to the fellowship of the cruising community and for all those women who are holding their smallest crew members a little bit closer this week.

  1. Hi Sarah. Without seeming insensitive, can you tell a little more about this? I don't know who Kitty is. 2015 so far has been a year of untimely loss amongst my oldest and dearest friends. I find myself hugging my girls very close a lot of the time.

  2. Hi Martina,
    Sorry to hear you have had a difficult year so far :(
    Kitty from s/v Ceol Mor sadly drowned on her 5th birthday this week in Kemah, Texas. I only know of the family through the internet but I know it has struck a chord with many of us. Sarah
