Departure For Singapore

I think for the first time that I've ever been involved with boats something has happened early, Sofa So Good left the Elan facility last night and she is now on her way under escort to Rotterdam. Once there she'll be loaded onto a vessel and sailed to Singapore.

Thanks to all at Elan for meeting the schedules that they put forward in Jan/Feb this year which I find stunning especially after our last boat being 18 months late.

Sofa So Good is born

Today is a big day in our lives as this is the day that Sofa So Good is officially born. Although she won't be christened until she is launched in Singapore in November (at present) she is now born and will be getting picked up by a lorry on Monday 22-9-05.

We had a couple of small issues with the boat but they were fixed up by Elan who have been very helpful since we arrived 2 days ago.

Below is a photo of the 2 main guys involved on the build (or at least the finishing off). We'll be publishing more pictures when we get back from Slovenia.

Next stop is the Southampton Boat Show at the weekend to see if there's any bargains around for us.
