Soon in new hands: the "Iron Lady"

It was probably not that serious for the two long-distance sailors, who have been on a trip around South America with their two daughters since August 2011, when they placed the sales advertisement. But then things suddenly went faster than expected, writes Michael Wnuk in his blog. While the lady - hit high and dry on land - had been thoroughly overtaken by the German sailing couple since the end of the southern winter, a prospective buyer kept sneaking around the boat and finally expressed his interest. Wnuk writes: "The fact that Nathalie, who, when he introduced himself as a prospective buyer, almost drove him off the place because she was against the sale, on the contrary led to more interest than it reduced that."

Obviously the man was serious. He has already made a generous down payment, and the handover is due to take place at the beginning of January.

And what will happen to the Müller-Wnuks then? They probably don't know exactly yet - or don't want to reveal it yet. One thing is certain: they are not drawn back on land. One is looking for a new boat. It should be bigger, faster and made of aluminum. You have already seen some interesting offers, says Michael Wnuk.

However, saying goodbye to the old boat will be difficult. After all, Müller and Wnuk had been sailing with it for 14 years. Their daughters were born during the voyage. The "Iron Lady" is a Scorpion II steel yacht, built a good 18 years ago by the Feltz shipyard in Hamburg.

It will be interesting to see how the Blauwasser family will continue. In any case, they want to continue reporting about their adventures on YACHT online - no matter what kind of boat they will be traveling with in the future.
