Sea Otter a Beneteau Idylle 15.50

Home

Website updated 28 Jan 2010

Welcome to our site!

We started the site in January 2001 with the aim to gather information about the Beneteau Idylle 15.50. This type is also named Moorings 51, as Moorings Yacht Charter specially ordered and added many of this type to their fleet in the mid 80's. The site was also created to meet men and women with more experience than we have in offshore cruising and to learn from them

The yacht was purchased by us in 1998 and very soon after she was put on land to be totally rebuild inside. The new interior layout is now a complete change from what it was, more about that in the News Page. We, my wife and I, have been planning to retire on a boat and would like to share our preparation and plans with as many as possible. By doing so, we were hoping to get inputs from other sailing people around the globe With the help of many experienced sailors/cruisers we did eliminate many mistakes, in our planing which saved a lot of time and money.

In our previous site, we had a few pages set up as a forum, where people could have a discussion or follow one. We will not continue with those pages in this new site, as no one was submitting anything during a whole year. The Guest Book was much more used, so we will continue with that one in the hope of getting lots of new friends who will follow us in our planning and cruising. Please also e-mail us with your thoughts and comments around these topics.

On the Background Page you can read  about our sailing backgrounds and other people who have contributed in one way or another to our sailing interest. We will try to update the Picture Page as often as possible, easier said than done. The largest page is the News Page, we think that is the most interesting part as it covers most things in more detail. The "News" page contains "Newsletters" and we are using those Newsletters more like a blog, as there are  both text and pictures on the pages. The Links  Page consists of both good commercial sites and (in our view) the best of the private sites.

Some part of text is linked to a picture, when you click on the text and a picture comes into view, you can enlarge that picture by pointing on it and clicking the button with arrows in the corners. In the “Newsletters” all the photos are thumb-nails, which means that when you click on them they will display their original seize.

We might as well add already here, that we are getting on in age and someday we want to sell the boat. If any of our readers are interested in buying Sea Otter, by all means contact us.

We hope you will enjoy the visit.
