Coast to Coast brought our Squadron 58 back from Barcelona and were superb!

We had a Scorpion 7.5 many years ago, in fact it hull #1 which was originally the chase boat for the J Class Velsheda! A really great boat designed by Dave Marsh of MBY. Sounds like the brand will live on, I did wonder if Ribeye might be interested but they have already developed into that...

The problem is that on the SQ58 and many others, because the tender sits on top of them they can only be accessed when its launched, so they are not very practical and therefore unused! I am guilty too of only ever lifting them a couple of times, luckily they were empty!

I am also with Amlin through Porthcawl, premiums have risen slightly over the last few years but nothing unexpected or to complain about.

If you search this forum you will find many suggestions plus learn the need to check the policy wording as they are not all equal!

I haven't seen these before but what a good looking boat, this one by any chance?! https://www.boatinternational.com/yacht-market-intelligence/brokerage-sales-news/icon-cdm-nauta-air-90-sold

Very nice and one of the first I guess, looked at it in Dusseldorf and liked the more modern touches like hull windows!

We had Permateek fitted to our Squadron 58 and were very pleased with it, we loved the colour and being in the UK the fact that on a sunny day it was hotter to the touch than real wood was rarely an issue (sadly!). Synthetic decks make maintenance very easy as you can just pressure wash them...

Great video, thanks for putting it together and posting. Such an amazing cruising ground, really pleased it worked out so well for you. Every time I watch one of your videos it highlights what a different and beautiful area you are in, I must try it one day!

Just spotted the name on the RIB... very good!!! 50:50 split showing who owns which side!!

This was the cause of my similar situation, a new element solved it!

A photograph might help?

Great find, thanks for posting!

OK, I know the guys at Elite Teak travel, they were doing a boat in Monaco at the time they were doing mine. Could you template it yourself, I watched them do mine and it was pretty simple?
