Hampton Safari - Longest Ownership - Hampton Safari Boat Club

Richard tells us he inherited Snapdragon in  1999 .. so that's 13 years as Owner...

We would like to hear from other owners who have owned their Safari’s for  over ten years

Ian and Phyll tell us they have owned their Safari Windrush II for 24 years.
They bought her on April 4th 1988 and have enjoyed every minute they have spent on her.
They also add that they have enjoyed the same mooring at Geldston for all those years and would not wish to be anywhere else.
Editors Note: Unfortunately the long relationship looks set to end as Ian sadly passed away earlier this year (2014) . Our sincere condolences to his widow Phyll and family. Windrush II is currently advertised For Sale.
