| Polyester sailingboat type Daimio
700, built in 1975 (France). I procured her in
1989, ater she served many years as a holiday
ship in Friesland for KLM's sailingclub Watersport Vereniging
Schiphol.
The boat needed refurbishing and repairs and was
equipped with a Mercury 7.5 pk outboard engine.
The latter is improvising, especially when you
have high waves.

For me, the old Daimio
could last many years more. In such a case, a new
diesel engine is an good investment. It improves
the seaworthiness and up-front costs will be
earned back with lower maintenance costs. No fuzz
with an old engine, but very relaxed sailing for
many years more.
is'nt that wat we all want ?Photo's
