Good to meet up on Friday. Just like to say what an excellent job you have done on the spec. You make some of these other brokers look decidedly amateurish. Let's hope it will generate some interest. "

Just a quick email to thank you so much for your help in selling Rigoletto.
Thank you for your efforts and your kindness and I really would like you to pass on my best to the new owners and to say that I hope, they enjoy her to the full as much as we have. She really is a great boat and has kept us safe in some very rough and I know she will serve them well.” "

Firstly, thank you both for your efforts in successfully achieving a sale of “Wight Rabbit”. Whilst in some respects I’m sad to see the boat go and would like to have achieved a better price I have to recognise that these are difficult times and achieving any sale at all must be regarded as a good result.”.
