Wow - what a ship!

Looks stunning and great fun, the thought of watching it begin put in the cradle and moved though would cause me to start smoking again i think!

Have a great trip to Europe - when you move her!

Cheers,

Craig.

She's superb. Maybe you've done this before but can you tell us something about the boat (ship??) ie. builder, age, construction, speed etc
She looks very narrow beamed and fine at the bow. Does she roll a lot and do those stabilizers (I think) make a difference?
What are the plans for her? By leaving for Europe, I take it that means a transatlantic crossing or will she go as deck cargo?

Wow, she looks fantastic! If you want any help crewing her I would come at a very reasonable rate!! more time on my hands now I'm semi retired! lol.

You're gonna need a bigger mast than the one you've got if you want her to sail at all well.

Stunning vessel, watch out you don't get Gludy (if your out there) giving you a severe grilling!
