I'm fine, Mark. Lucky you leaving in 3 weeks. Have you planned a route south yet and what you intend to do when you get to the Med?

 

[Jobs_a_ good_ un]

Hi Mike

Same route as last year river seine,to central canal system,then river rhone all the way down to the med,leave the boat there till 3rd week july then back out and round the coast to barcacelona Im not booking anywhere just stopping as we go sometimes on the hook sometimes in marinas I will post progress as we go so you can keep a eye on the novices
Cheers for now

mark, great photos of a very smartly polished boat. what polish/wash/sealer did you use ? i have a burgundy coloured hull which chalks up fairly quickly. any suggestions greatly received.

As a builder friend of mine says "You won't notice in three months time"

 

[madboat]

In regards to the first picture, what made you decide that a mast would look good on the front? Must say very clean what did you use A-glaze?

She looks lovely, well done, obviously your pride and joy.

Can understand being knackered afterwards, started mine at 08.00 and did'nt finish till 18.00, right bicep is now 2" bigger than the left!. still the result was worth it.

Cool Bannenburg windows. Dont recognise your boat. What is it?

 

[Nautical]

Absolute 45, fresh off the drawing board, built by the Gobbi family (now Atlantis). First one in the country I believe, one of the largest stern drive Sports Cruisers you can get. Did a lot of research with Volvo before the D6's came out and tank stuff and it works extremely well, massive space inside and even with only 700 horses and 12 tons manages 38 knts.

Looks a smart boat. Love the vertical windows most unusual on a sub 60ft boat. Just hope shes not as wet as our Gobbi 425c

 

[tetleys]

anbody any advice on polishes/wax/sealers ? whats the best way of keeping the shine on a coloured hull ?

 

[Dave_Snelson]

How very true! Mines been in since Feb - and it shows!

 

[Nautical]

Throws the water off fairly well, delivery trip was in a 5-6 gusting 7, bit bouncy at first till we realised we were doing 27knts , knocked it back to about 22knts and was much better and even surfing down the back of some quite big swell she remained fairly dry although being a big stern drive boat you need to keep focused or your off all over the gaff, great fun though.
