Bump's World - November 2010
November 2, 2010
The simplest way to get ride of your fine yacht is to donate it. Other than wanting to contribute to a cause or some institution that you think has great value, why would anyone want to donate their boat when they can just sell it. There is a lot of miss information about donations and there are a bunch of guys in jail who used donation programs as a scam. The IRS laws are not exact about what donation is and their interpretation of the process changes from time to time which can make the process challenging.
Bump's World - September 2010
September 28, 2010
Fall has just begun here in New England and us yachts brokers turn our thoughts to boat shows. I just completed my 30th Newport Boat Show. Like all shows the weather has a lot to do with the attendance, however I"™m not sure it affects to number of boats sold, since that is what I care about. I"™m really looking for only 1 or 2 quality real buyers.

It did not take me long to realize that the more you know about the weather, the more it helps your sailing skills. I grew up sailing on Narragansett Bay and now spend most of my time sailing/racing in the Marblehead area. Marblehead is a great place to sail because not only is it a beautiful area, there is a predictable sea breeze that fills in around noontime everyday in the summer. This sea breeze makes for very exciting sailing.

Eight years ago I got a call from Ben Sherwood. Ben said he was writing a book that takes place in Marblehead and has a lot of sailing in it. Ben has a lot of writing experience; he had just finished a book called The Man Who Ate The 747.
Bump's World - May 2010

Last night I did my first Wednesday night race of the 2010 season. It was cold and gray but fortunately we did not get rained on. I forgot my sailing gear, which made it a lot more uncomfortable than it should have been.
