The Denham Owl For Sale

[floydraser]

I confess to being the World's worst salesman.

The Denham Owl is for sale more for convenience than out of desperation. Mooring fees are due in April but the marina want 3 months notice of change, I can pay yearly or go to monthly tariff.

“Personal circumstances” doesn't seem to be enough for some people: for a while now we have had a 91 year old with early stage dementia to look after 2 days a week. This is our choice as it's part of modern living, and when our time comes we wouldn't want our kids to chuck us out of the family home for the sake of a boat; it's just a boat.

It's not that we can't afford it, just that we won't be able to get over there much. I'm fully prepared to pay another 12 months mooring etc but thought I'd see if anyone wants to take it on. I tried on Facebook Marketplace but that ended me receiving abuse from someone who offered me the asking price without viewing. It also seemed to provoke a less than complimentary comment on Youtube from a Broads supporter which is why all those videos have been removed.

I have a plan if it doesn't sell but if anyone here is interested or knows anyone interested, please contact me by PM.

I have information prepared and there is a private video on Youtube relating to the sale for which I will need an email address to invite a viewing.

Thanks for looking.

Floydraser I'm very sorry to know about your circumstances as we are all not getting any younger like me now 70 Years old I still love the Broads and have beautiful fond memories of going on Holidays but I do hope you can sell your Boat and be able to concentrate on other matters in hand. Please try and take time out to visit the Broads when and if ever possible. Take care now as I wish you and your family a pleasant Christmas & New Year

Thank you for the sentiment Andrew, it's much appreciated but I hope I haven't come over as having a hard time,  far from it. The lady is very easy to look after as, apart from time, she is not so demanding. There is plenty of Norfolk we still haven't discovered but it's on our list...

And seasons greetings to you and yours.

Hope you get some serious interest in the boat soon. If finances would allow we’d be queuing up. I certainly think you have your priorities right though. Hope someone will look after me if I last that long.

Might be worth putting at least 1 pic on your thread , as not all members know your boat .

Never seen it without the cover 😁

It is a nice boat.

The pic was taken earlier in the summer. The crew and I removed the cover and all the bits propping it up, then fitted the mast.
