          Wandered around the local port this evening.

          José Luis's (the current owner of Sasga Yachts) father started Sasga in the 1960's, I am pretty sure this is one of his earlier creations. They have always taken design cues from Menorcan Llauts, which; is a near vertical stem, canoe stern and large rear platform....

              Today, as we were leaving the hotel, @Madame-Buttonfly spied a Sasga 54 coming into the bay. We surmised it must be hull 53, which we saw a couple of days ago, so we hot-tailed it to the dock where we last saw it. We got there just in time to see her being berthed, we were invited on board to take a look. I did not take that many pics, I think P did.

              Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know this is the wrong thread @goosehd 🙂

                    I was just chatting with @Cutlasshound (I was thanking him for the amazing phone case he gifted me) and he asked me how my trip to Menorca went.

                    I answered:

                    Every time I see the boat, it does the opposite of disappoint

                    There are not a lot of things that do that......

                                    I’d buy a 7.5oz IH tee with the Sakura logo

                                        and I like the camera mounted so you can keep an eye on the area when you're underway. That's pretty smart!!

                                        As I suspected, they cant be bothered to take it out, so it's staying and we don't have to pay for it 👍 👍
