Ellen MacArthur's B&Q boat FOR SALE. Skandia Cowes Week 2007

[Dustylaign]

is it still for sale

[Estkling]

@Dustylaign No, it was sold to an Omani sailing team in the end.

[dlawson688]

@Estkling Now it is owned by Phillip Monet. He raced it in the Route de Rhum last year.

[Estkling]

@dlawson688 Ah, there you go then. Thank you.

How sad that she is now owned by fett Arab, that maybe cant even

sail. She belongs on the ocean winning races.

[1527cool]

Thats a diffrent boat but its is the same desgn as the b&q but its not the same boat that she sailed

[Estkling]

No, no, it is and is now owned by the Sultanate of Oman.

[spirogrinder2]

says on the side that it was b&q plus its sitting next to the roxy open 60, so they might have parked it there for attention

[jonwy]

Why can't they put it in a museum, for christ's sake?

[HackebeilHarry]

cause it is still an awesome boat worth to be sailed.

[ortlikasealion]

Yeah, I know two T's. BTW that's ROXY ahead of the tri, is she for sale too?

[ortlikasealion]

Very interesting. Now if I could borrow this vessel for my race in 07/08, I bet I could beat Steve Fosset's 10 year record of 7d 22h 38m 26s. The poor thing is just sitting there. I've got the time, the desire, and with that ship, I could do it!

[ktfudge]

ooooo i wanted the B&Q stickers

[dovetom]

I've never been more happy to see her boat, as she is not on there!!

[Isaac0h0e]

Why?
