Howdy Partner!

With our Leopard 45 ‘ti Profligate coming out of the yacht management program at BVI Yacht Charters in July — there are still a few dates open in June — we’ve been thinking about our options. One of them is to keep the cat and take on a 50% partner. We’ve received letters from folks suggesting this is a good idea, but also from others who report that boat partnerships have a high rate of failure.

So we’re interested to hear if you’ve ever been in a boat partnership, and how it has worked out. Based on your experience, do you have any tips? It makes no difference what kind of boat was involved or even where. Email your response to Richard.
