Could be a bumpy ride on Friday. Looking forward to the trip report
No, we will be working with a surveyor to sort out the coding including fitting safety items as required.Does it come with all the safety equipment required for cat 2 commercial operation?
I don’t think we will be making the trip on Friday. Current thinking is Sunday morning but it will depend on the weather.Could be a bumpy ride on Friday. Looking forward to the trip report

Better to be on dry land wishing you were at sea rather than the other way round…..
Yep - but, like Henry, I wasn't in charge!!Sunday's forecast looks more favourable and I'm guessing @Hurricane you took the inside passage past Portland Bill? Could be a good photo opportunity
I imagine Princess will have someone going along in front to clear away anything which might get in the way or mark my new hull….I remember our delivery trip from Plymouth to Swanwick.
Weather was OK but we picked up a pot at the Bill and had to go into Weymouth.
PMYS were on the case very quickly and had a diver waiting on the quay at Weymouth so we still made it to Swanwick that afternoon.
I enjoyed reading thatYep - but, like Henry, I wasn't in charge!!
Just done a search
This is a write up on our delivery trip - same start and finish as Henry's one will be.
March 2008 - doesn't time fly!!
The Delivery Trip - Lots of Pictures
F55, it won‘t have a name. Don’t know how many F55s they have there. Hopefully its still floatingWhich one is yours on the pontoon? I might be at Turnchapel at the weekend and wouldn't mind having a peek from afar
The commercial charter use puts some people off at this value but I think we've found people who are experienced and comfortable and price wise its what I was expecting. for a while it looked a little bit more expensive than I was anticipating but being the smaller fish in a larger sea helps as opposed to the other way round.Insurance
Maybe give Curtis Marine a call - mention YBW Forums (and maybe me) to get a discount on any premiums.
But they usually apply any discounts automatically anyway - especially for the larger boats.
They are a broker so offer several underwriters/policies
Have fun reading the small print wherever you go!!
Henry I’m likely onboard on Sunday and may even go out for a spin. WhatsApp your location when you get into the solent if I’m about I’ll take some snaps, even if it’s only as you go up the river.
I assume the mayor of Weymouth will probably want to lay something on for us, an exchange of plaques or something....Might have to drag me out of Weatherspoons, but I'll be around Weymouth and Portland

Why change a lifetimes habit?There is talk of leaving Plymouth around 2.00pm Sunday.
Not set in stone yet, just a quick phone call this afternoon. I don't know if the skipper will be close in to the Bill or further out to sea. I'm not getting involved in the passage plan, just behaving myself and doing as I'm told.
