The Boyd’s first stepped aboard the Sea Eagle on March 2nd, 2013, in Sausalito, CA.
When Scott was introduced to Frank Dinsmore and asked, “are you the owner?” Frank smiled, pointed at his wife Marlies and said, “Oh no, this is her boat!” It was obvious from those very first moments on the boat that both families would become good friends and that this was the boat we had been searching for.
Janet was introduced to Marlies Dunsmore, who proclaimed “you know, we’re not going to sell this boat to someone that we don’t like!” It turns out that was not a problem at all!
The following day, we looked at Eden, a newer Nordhavn 47, with a lot fewer hours, but decided it lacked the charm of the Sea Eagle and made our offer on hull 28.
