Hi to everybody.
Hope this forum is not governmental, and there will be no economical sanctions on the new members from Russia. :roll eyes:
Name is Boris,
Boat is of a rare kind, as I believe less than a dozen were built - some in India, and some in Singapore in the beginning of 80-ies.
Rumors say the manufacturer was somehow connected, at least design-wise to Grand Banks, but the boats look different.
The name of the brand is Aquila Boats, although the official registered name of the manufacturer in India is Gladstone Lyall & Co. (bankrupt now for a long time)
Anyway, just bought this beauty from her second German owner who explored almost all North sea and Baltics in his 15 years of ownership. Fixing the small things which need attention after spending last couple of years on the dry hoping to take her down to Mediterranean either by sea or by French channels.
Sorry in advance if I have too much questions as a beginner.
Cheers from Moscow.
Boris
