Oceanis 43 launched today

[mlthomas]

Well, it finally happened. Our new Oceanis 43 arrived on time to the day and was launched just after 12:30 today.
We ordered the boat in March and both Maiden Marine (Windermere) and Beneteau have done us proud. We don’t get the handover until Sunday, however we were there today for the splash which was quite a moment.
Here are a couple of pics of her, if I can work out how to upload the video I will post that later next week.

Beautiful moment. I remember too.
Having had one of those for a year and after taking it across an ocean I can say you made a very good choice.
Congratulations!
