Finally got another boat

[Grahamrfd]

Hi,

As the heading says Ive finally managed to buy another boat after having to sell my old one 9 years ago. I make my living running a truck around europe which Im finding more stressful as I get older so decided another boat was needed to combat this stress resulting in the purchase of Halcyon, an Albin 25.
Its all in working order but will need a little tidying, but I will do this later, now Im just looking forward to spring and the chance to get away for a few days. For the next year or so we will only be cruising on an inland river in the UK but later I hope to get a trailer so we can get further afield, the caledonian canal in Scotland being on the list of things to do



I will post more photos later.

Regards

Graham

Hi Graham,

Nice to see another Albin owner in the UK - I think that makes a total of about 4 of us on these boards now!

You will find a wealth of information here, the help I have had from here has been invaluable.

There is another 25 owner in North Shields I think?

What's wrong with the cradle trailer she is sitting on, that looks highway worthy, just need a tow strap

Good luck with the new boat and I hope she helps you relieve some of that stress. With that being said, do you have a name picked out yet?

And regarding that stress - It really does not make any sense that we work for a living but our work is killing us !

Nice boat! You're so right, Rob, it does not make sense that we work for a living but our work is killing us. Thank goodness for boats!

Welcome: Happy to hear you have another boat. It just makes life more fun. The boat looks very good in the photos. Will be nice to hear of your progress from abroad. The Classic 25' is a fine boat.
