    Selling I'm afraid- lovely as it is the running costs are horrendous (20-30K per year) and totally outside my budget! Owning one of these is very much a rich man's hobby- plus I live about as far from the sea as it's possible to get in the UK!

    I would sell if i had it too!!
    Why does it cost 20k - 30k to run a year?? :eek: :eek:

    Firstly - Congrats on a fantastic win. Funnily enough OH and I were just discussing this today (before I saw your thread) and we wondered who had won it. He's going to be SOOOO jealous when he sees the photo - can't wait to show him!

    Congrats once again - shame you have to sell it but no doubt you'll have fun spending the money. Are you putting it on e-bay.........................;):rotfl:

    Sheesh! What a prize! Congratulations!

    Totally don't blame you for selling up though, don't think anyone else would either!

    Is it possible to rent the boat out as a business? Always thought if I won the French cottage or another holiday property I would consider doing that before selling.
