by caradog666 for everyone
Like a few posts on here I have just recently bought a Ballard (Hull number 1052) and keep her up here in Northern Norway (Bodø).  I took her from her old berth in Bodø harbour to her new home at Klokstad and she sailed well despite a very light head wind, we still managed to get her there and my partner and I did not endu up in divorce!  I even think my dogs enjoyed the trip.  No we are looking to tart her up a bit (the boat that is, not my partner!) as she needs a bit of TLC and restoring to her former glory, and look forward to sailing her around the fjords here.
 
I am so impressed with this site - congratulations, in actual fact it made me much more comfortable about buying a boat I really knew very littel about (design and performance wise).

Hi Mark, Welcome to Ballad Exchange.
 
I think you are making an important point, when you tell us how Ballad Exchange made you much more comfortable buying a Ballad.
 
We should all remember that contributing to Ballad Exchange makes our boats more valuable (or easier to sell) when we eventually want to sell them.
 
Sailing northern Norway must be fantastic. We're leaving sunday morning early, from the southern Denmark to sail to the southern Norway, for the first time, and very much looking forward to it.
 
Best regards Jesper Milling
