May. 12, 2007 - Phase 1 - Purchase the Boat
After trawling through numerous adverts and viewing some options, we finally decided on a three year old Hanse 371 located in Lagos, Portugal. In mid May, Nigel and Paul (his business partner) travelled to the Algarve to view the boat and after some haggling a deal was agreed. Following a satisfactory survey, funds were transferred and 'Atlantico Sail' became 'Atlantico' with a new UK registration.
Three weeks later, on 12th May, Nigel and Tor flew down to enable the ol' wife to cast a beady eye over the new purchase and give her seal of approval on Atlantico. She came up to all expectations and we spent the following two days cleaning and making enormous lists of chandlery, galley and all the other bits needed to get this boat shipshape.
