Hardware Starts to Arrive

Our first part of the new boat turned up today - a Fortress anchor. This will be used as a back-up for muddy seabeds and as a stern anchor when required.

The boat yard is still saying that she'll be completed and ready for shipment on the 20th Sept which will be great.

And so it begins

I guess this is the start of a long line of posts regarding the buying and cruising of Sofa So Good a new Elan Impression 434 sailing yacht. She'll be based at One Degree 15 Marina on Sentosa Island in Singapore and will initially be cruised around SE Asia before possibly venturing further afield as we become more confident over the years.

At present she's due to be completed at the yard in Slovenia on the 20th Sept and hopefully will be in Singapore on the 10th Oct although this could easily change.
