Failed sailboat business

When we lived in Hungary, we had a sailboat on Balaton lake. We loved that. The kids were small.  We had lots of happy time on there. But, when we moved in UK, we sold that. My partner has a big dream,  we sail around the world, just two of us. We would like to buy a boat again. We haven't lot of money, but we have a loan in the bank. We can't save money, unfortunately. So, we have a loan and we will pay back it three years. My partner found a nice sailboat and he gave an offer on this, and the owner agreed with it. He was very happy, because his  dream come true, and he is one more step for the big adventure around the world. He had 9 days on shift in Stagecoach (because he's a bus driver) and he was very tired, but today woke up early and travelled on Plymouth, to try to the sailboat. The owner was there and they waited for the high tide, and finally it's came. He started the engine, and that was smoked and broken. The owner tomorrow go back to London, and who knows when he come back to the boat. My partner was very tired, sad and hopeless, because he had a plan, that tomorrow he bring our boat here  and we can watch the Red Arrows air show from the boat. Now he sit on the bus, and come back home, without boat.
It's so sad, I'm very sorry him. I hope, he find another boat soon...
