I thought to creating a new category for the blog, a News category, with miscellanea posts from the yachting world. I receive a lot of news by mail. I also receive a lot of propositions for event coverage which sometimes is not related to the marine world. Remember that I'm a ship engineer. I can and I like to read about an Auto Saloon in general, but it's not the purpose of this blog, except for certain SEO reasons. I'll be happy if the proposers would bother to explain me in a little bit more … [Read more...]

The Broker Who Went broke
Looking through some important yachting sites, related to brokerage, brokers, companies and almost everything related to yachts in general, I discovered with great sadness that the company of which co-founder I was, disappeared altogether from the market.

New beginning
I like it a lot here, on this new domain, the theme I'm having, allowing me not only to use my favorite font, but for the sake of authenticity, to let the older posts transferred from blogspot, to look exactly the same, only better, :) I'll have a schedule, which I'll publish soon, and of course I'm going to heavily promote this blog, as much as I can, having an agenda as well. I'll let you know also who am I admiring, I'll give you all the tips I know in the matter, and I'll pretend very … [Read more...]
Yacht Economics
A yacht is in fact any type of vessel, other than a dinghy, propelled by sail, power or both and used for pleasure cruising or racing. Depending more on your budget, and less on your pleasure, you can determine what kind of yacht you can afford. A yacht is an expensive toy, and not everybody is made to possess one. (You know, if I want to sell a boat to anybody, I can pretend the contrary, and be quite believable). If you buy something with less than € 20,000 the thing you bought is not a yacht, … [Read more...]
