RayandCarole Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well where do we start, we bought Gymnopedies in 2013, then spent most of 2014 upgrading ready for a good sailing year in 2015. Unfortunately after we came back from our Caribbean bucket list holiday in December Carole went down with severe colitis and was hospitalised for 2 weeks in January. Due to mobilty problems after this we realised that sailing on Gymnopedies would be a non starter, so started looking around for a suitable stinkie, having had various sports cruisers and a Broom 37 previously we had a good idea what was required but as semi retired a Broom was out of the question. We have now aquired a Freeman 24 "Tangara ll" which seemed to suit our requirements and accessibilty issues and are busily up grading it to our requirements ref shore power etc We are still in Bells at Brundall so if you see us please pop in and say hello at the moment no booze on board but we can do a coffee, hope to be out in a couple of weeks with fridge fully operational and beer chilled so if you see us about give us a wave or come aboard for a (hopefully) cold beer Wevwill have Forum burgee on shortly 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hello Ray & Carole, Sorry to hear your plans have changed but there is nothing wrong with a Freeman 24. Please let us have some pictures of your new boat when you are able. Regards Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your new Boat, looks a cracker (so does your old one even though it's a saily thingy lol) No better way for Carole to recover than being afloat on the Broads, good luck to you both Grace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
