Congratulations, looks like a great boat

brilliant!
v.well done, lovely boat you've got there now.

one silly Q, how does the low loader thing cross the channel? I guess it goes in a ship right? So technically you did use a ship for part of the trip

enjoy!

Ah, that's easy, a ferry from Bilbao to Poole!

Congratulations.
The SQ58 is a cracking boat.

Congratulations for a very nice and good condition boat (from the pics)
and for the good outcome of your misfortune last year !
but imho such a big nice boat belongs to be in the med
wishing you many happy times on her, enjoy !

Many Congratulations Dustywings, What a beautiful boat. I love a happy ending.:encouragement::encouragement:
I also very recently used Coast2Coast and cannot speak more highly of them. They transported my Squadron 56 down to Sant Carles from Swanwick. Russell and his team are the very best and looked after everything from start to finish. She also crossed on the Poole-Bilbao route on board Pelican. Enjoy your new boat.

Fantastic outcome DW, many congratulations. There is a forum meet in a couple of weeks at East Cowes if you fancy it?

She's a beauty! Really glad you managed to get her in time for the season, it's quite a story!

 

[SPDauto]

that is lovely, must be a dream to own something like that.... maybe one day!

 

[Firefly625]

Congratulations, what a monster! All those updates etc are lovely, funny how things work out, looks a better boat that the last.

What's the boat name so we can look out for you? (hard to miss!)

 

[maverickofpoole]

What a stunning looking boat, congratulations on getting there in the end

 

[Nosealegsyet]

Its gorgeous!.Something good always comes out of something bad. You now have a better condition boat!

 

[[2068]]

That's a very smart looking boat.
Hopefully the trauma of being told the first boat didn't make it will eventually wash overboard(!).

Congratulations!

@dustywings: I’m really pleased for you to have got back to where you wanted to be boatwise in, what, six months in all? A blink of an eye! Plus you’ve had the excitement of hunting down your perfect boat twice in the last year. Not bad! Oh, and the boat looks great too!

PS @petem - I’ve only got one word to say to you: “STANDARD”.

(Check ‘unpimp my ride’ on YouTube if you don’t know what I mean.) ?

Thanks, we are in the process of renaming her and will be 'Clan 2', the Riva is 'Clan', Petem is assisting!
