The End of Two-foot-itus

June 26, 2013

Athena in Ganges Harbour

Ganges Harbour

Thinking of picking up a sailboat? This one should keep you away from the dreaded ‘two-foot-itus‘ for a fair while. It’s 295 feet long; squeeze it on to your soccer field in the off season.

It’s probably for sale, most sailboats are. But remember, if you have to ask the price… In the meantime there’s a wealth of info about the yacht and its owner on the internet.

* thanks Tom for the insider info on Athena’s pending arrival in Ganges.

    Saw her go by in the distance, on her way to Savary Island. Much too far for pictures, but I ‘scoped her from my balcony. Beautiful thing.

      I was thinking about what it takes to design such a beast. I wonder if marine architects, like their land-based counterparts, charge about 10% of the construction cost.
