This was the route I took last August: I used a combination of Navily and Navionics for planning. Pete

Another yacht designed by James Watt!

Just back from delivering a Bestevaer 62 to Trondheim in Norway. There aren't many yachts I'd be happy to sail that far north in April! She was absolutely fantastic. Amazing yacht... Pete

Big tides in Falmouth and Penryn today... Thinking about getting into delivering cars as well as yachts. Pete

I love it when they play cricket there: Pete

We chartered in Croatia last August... I know, a bit of a busman's holiday! Nowhere near as busy as I'd expected and very nice indeed. Perfect temperature as well! Pete

A route we know very well and we'd love to help. Best to go after April 1st, and with yacht deliveries across Biscay many insurance companies insist on this. Here's a video from an owner-assisted trip we did 8 years ago... Amazing trip - how time flies! Pete

It was great to see the Hallberg Rassy 69... Very impressive! And we can't wait to sail her later this year: Pete

Yes. On a yacht delivery, we'd go from Cape Town to Brazil, then the Caribbean, towards Bermuda, the Azores, and then across to mainland Europe... Pete

The owner of Confusion, a beautiful Contessa 32, takes us through the highs and lows of his AZAB campaign. It's an incredible event and not a small undertaking! Pete

I got some nice footage at the weekend of someone sailing near Mylor. I would be happy to send the owner the footage if anyone knows who it might be...? It was a cold day, but a perfect day for a gentle sail! Pete

We could certainly help if you still need a skipper? Pete

Yacht delivery is an excellent way to gain experience and to sail a variety of boats in very different places. As a volunteer most companies or individual delivery skippers will insist that you are capable of standing a solo nightwatch. At Halcyon, we use Day Skipper as a minimum qualification...

Our yacht delivery crew use Topsail: Halcyon Yachts Ltd Pete

Clean using a soft brush and mild soap. Use a teak sealer or oil to protect against UV damage. Don't use strong cleaning agents or power washing, as this can damage the wood. Also, think about using a mat in the main areas you walk on when you are alongside. Pete
