        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

                                  Think it, be it.

                                      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 👍 👍

                                          VesselSpotter…is this a thing G.?

                                          To be honest, Mr. Hoyle‘s Insta @royalnavynews is worth watching.

                                            Vessel Finder is a thing. You can track anything that has AIS (Automatic Identification System) installed and operational. In the past year or so, certain Russian oligarchs' yachts AIS systems have mysteriously stopped working, and the yachts have gone dark...
