I hope this doesn't transgress any forum protocols but I found it interesting - it is a charity sale if that matters. A famous man and his well known vessel. I have met him here on occasion over the years and it is sad that he is not going to be sailing his boat in the BVI anymore. https://virgin.craigslist.org/bod/5438801739.html

I've got a 43' for $75K or near offer...... 2005, but we're not celebrities to anyone other than ourselves!

Manpot said: Celebrity ownership counts for a lot...check out the recent prices of ex Steve McQueen Porsches..cant believe Morgan will quit sailing..over the years of interviewing him it was obvious sailing and the BVI's were very dear to him..hope he's getting another boat.. Almost 80, bad auto accident serious mobility and control issues in a hand and shoulder. Some other recent very near misses. Morgan has said very publicly his days of single handing are behind him.
