Hi all,
It’s with a heavy heart I advise you all that SOLSTICE has been sold.
Some of you know that felicity and I broke up a while ago and well she ate her sights on the boat as part of the separation. I couldn’t afford to pay her out so I listed the boat for sale. She sold in under 24hrs. The new owner has said he wants me to come down for the launch. Not sure how I feel about that. She was a big part of my life, as she was for you all.Thank you to everyone that made it possible and for all of your support. Such a sad end but I’ll sign out for now
Regards
Matt
Well Well !!
I can't help remembering what dad told me when I was a young man.
"Son, for a stress free life keep away from anything with tits or a motor"
Hi all
Been a few years. Hope you’re all well. I was able to reunite with SOLSTICE so thought I’d pop on and share a few pics. So happy to see her in the water. Hopefully the owner enjoys her
Turns out I did do it right
Hendo! Welcome back mate! Glad to hear from you again. Solstice looks great, your vision is alive and well.
Cheers,
Bob
So glad to see Solstice in the water and being used.
But seeing you back on the forum is a great Xmas present! Hope you’re healthy and doing well my friend. Please hang around and fill us all in on how life has treating you!
Any new projects in the works?
Cheers!
Glad you are back and on your feet! Any plan for solstice II ?

Hey Lou
Haha no mate. If I was to do another build it’ll be from a set of plans or buy one and tidy it up. I’ve since got myself a new partner ( She’s actually originally from the USA) and have gotten into property remodeling but haven’t ruled out a boat lol. Funny story, I only just told Cristi about the boat and this blog and all of my friends on here a few months ago. It blew her mind. I do have a keen interest in photography which keeps my creative side satisfied and my new toy of the German land variety. She a CLA45 AMG Mercedes.
She Looks great! You produced a beautiful vessel. Glad she is being enjoyed. Hope all is well with you.
Man this is great, Matt’s little Christmas give to us
Greetings,
Mr. H. I've thought of you often. Hope you're doing well.
Glad to see Solstice in the water and floating on her lines! Truly an amazing story!
And really glad to see that you survived difficult times. Keep well.

Matt:
What a joy to hear from you, and to see you smiling in these photos. And simply first-rate that the new owner kept her name.
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Trombley
P.S. I've righted two of your photos, for oldies like me who still use a laptop.
