Isn't it amazing what 3/4 of a million Euros can buy?


I once chartered a Freedom 33 with swing keel and did not like it.
The swing keel was a bear to winch up or let down. Sail handling also
seemed difficult for some reason but my impression was that it was due
to poor maintenance. I believe that if the boat was well maintained
our charter would have gone much better.
