    Need to find the time to watch this, sounds good.

    If it’s on Sky SGT it might be an ‘exclusive’ so you might struggle to find it elsewhere - il ha ge a gander and see if I can find

    No, but will follow your link when time permits. Supposedly a man of leisure but always busy with opportunities and then today spotted a boat similar to one I want to buy and got chatting to the owners about their experience. More certain it is what I want now. The sea is in my blood, seriously, goes back several generations.

    More than ever, unfortunately. But I am at that age where if you don't do it, you never will. I have owned a few, they are all expensive. I like blue water sailing and you need something of reasonable size, and built to protect for that. I have once (thank god only once) had to do a Pan Pan radio call (24 years ago). Pan Pan is one down from a May Day.

    Do it! Unless you're enjoying the build up to buying it. :)

    Going to do it. There are a couple to chose from, one in Florida, one in Mallorca. The spec is different.

    60 foot. It is a proper blue water yacht, to keep the occupants safe.

    I will load a picture up privately. You have to live your dreams, if opportunity permits. I am still sorting the financing but that looks likely.
    The S60 T8 gets good reviews.

    Was reading today that Charles Lecllerc has had his address in Monaco leaked and people are coming up and ringing his door bell and asking for pictures and autographs.Poor Charles,it`s the last thing he needs after the start to the season he`s had and now he has asked for some respect to his privacy .

    Poor chap. I fail understand why people think hassling the famous is a good thing. Respect, as you say.

    ****ing weird world that we live in now.

    That’s what the perceived 24/7 access social media brings makes people think they’re entitled to.

    Well done to Le Clerc for handling it in a very classy way.

    Lowest common denominator. That is as old as the hat but is worse because the net to capture the lowest is widened by social media.

    He`s a very classy young man. He will probably have to move now,I know that I would if I were him.

    One day soon he may get a break.he certainly deserves one.
    There has at least been some good news for Leclerc of late, with Italian police arresting four people in connection with the theft of his luxury watch last year, which was stolen in the Italian seaside resort of Viareggio ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix last year.
    Leclerc was approached for a selfie by two people wearing motorcycle helmets, only for his Richard Mille RM67 ‘Leclerc’ custom watch to be removed from his wrist in the process
    A statement from the Italian Carabinieri in Viareggio explained that three men and one woman have been arrested and house searches uncovered two valuable watches which have been seized, as well as cash totalling €23,000.

    It is not yet known whether one of the discovered watches belongs to Leclerc.
