Vivaldi 53 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I see that Margaritaville is for sale again. I think it was only sold about 2 seasons ago. Wondering why for sale so soon. https://www.trademe.co.nz/trade-me-motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-2194946997.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Don't know why it's for sale again so soon, but I believe it was someone who crewed for the previous owner who bought it last time. So they already knew the boat etc. I always liked it, have only sailed on it once for a rum race but have done lots of racing against it and it generally goes pretty well for a boat that's not much bigger than a 1020 and still has a comfy cruising interior.

MarkMT 68 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Is/was there some ownership connection with the 930 "Wasted Away"? As well as the song, I seem to recall seeing the same unusual deck color when walking the pier at WH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I forget the exact connection but I think it was same original owner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I suspect the owner has a very busy season or 2 ahead of him and just may not have the time to use her. What will have him very busy as is shown in one of the photos A big shiny silver rum holder that gazzilionairs spend gazzilions on making 75 ft dinghies that fly and go splat?

Then after many years he downsized and now has Wasted Away again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to recall a lineage of boats for the original owner: Wasted Away Wasted Away Again Margaritaville All purported to be Ross boats? Could just be urban legend though...

Could just be urban legend though... Yes that’s right. They belonged to Gary Elliott, 1st two Ross 930s, then the Ross 1066. Gary’s now cruising in a Given Powercat - also called Margaritaville, and has bought back the original Wasted Away and racing it again. Would love to own the 1066 - slightly out of the budget though.
