Next message: Jerry Peters: "RE: lv-ab: charcoal instead of gas"
Totally dont understand that - how come in a year of chartering they managed
to wear out two engines and the mainsail....surely these parts must have
been coming to the end of their working life when you purchased the boat...and
even then i can see how an engine should 'only' last six years in a charter
boat???
do explain more and also tell us who you placed the boat in secondary
charter with?
thanks
David

Bought a boat, Leopard 38 catamaran, in Tortola, BVI and left it for a year
with a charter company. Rented a lot, made good $$, took a big depreciation
tax deduction. Picked up boat following season. Boat was ex Moorings
charter boat with 5-6 yrs use already. Additional year of heavy use in
tropics now requires new engines and main sail and the cost is more than
profits.
