Congratulations on a great purchase - 'well jel'. I does back up some other threads that its the broker that makes the difference and as per usual BCU have done their magic in putting a good deal together.

Great boat. Would probably have been our 1st choice if we had gone for 'new'.

BCU know how to sell and they drive the deal to make happen - James Barke has already got someone for my boat lined up.

We've got one out here in Sant Carles
Lovely boat.
The owner lurks on this forum - very occasionally posting.
Maybe he will add some comments.

Thanks for starting the thread admillington. How is the layout of factory? are different sizes built in different areas? We are in process of having a P43 built but have not been to visit yet.

I don't know but will find out when I go to the Factory on the 28th April and report back.

Thank you for the pics. She is really quite advanced in build, and looking fantastic. Looking forward to some more.

Nothing wrong with that.

Looks almost finished !!

Looks fantastic, I can only dream but hope you enjoy her when she arrives. Superb boat.

Emm depends on who is pricing the s65 of how cheap ( not ) the 56 is.

Our s65 2015 will go soon I suspect as I Am in the middle of a divorce. James will be on the phone later to offer me your s58 ( and I doubt I am joking !!)

 

[Andrew M]

Fantastic, congratulations, that looks a really lovely boat. Master cabin looks fab and a lovely airy saloon/dinette.

Was the water pump noise that bad on the Squadron ??

Looking forward to seeing some more pics when you get her but as mentioned she does look quite a way down the build line.

Must be hugely exciting.

I don't doubt that James will be all over you as well as anyone who have shown any interest!

I am sure I will be looking at the pump on the new boat as I doubt it will be any better.

This is basically a stock boat that isn't quite finished but I will take as many pictures as allowed when I visit the factory and post them.

Excited would be an under statement!

This week has got so slowly, I can't wait until the visit to Plymouth on Thursday.

In truth, more excited about meeting my princess than I am to meeting the Queen on the 14th of July.

Boats.co.uk already have my current boat listed and some interest. They sold my previous Squadron 55 in 4 days - don,t think they will beat that this time.

Meeting the Queen - will we need to doff our caps in future???

It will be me doing the doffing - My company has been awarded a Queens Award for Enterprise.

When you meet her, I wouldn't mention your boat, they took hers away and she might be a bit sensitive!
Congratulations on the award.

 

[kashurst]

Very well done on the Queens Award - they are not easy to get. New boat is beautiful by the way.
