Successful survey - delivery Thursday (photos)

[kcrane]

With thanks to those who have been very helpful over the last few months... on Thursday I will get the keys to 2 shiny D9-575s and the Princess V48 attached to them.

The survey and seatrial went well today. The surveyor tried his best, but finally said the boat was the best he had seen in a quite a while, the worst fault being over-compressing seals on the portholes. Hardly a deal breaker.

VolvoPaul checked the machinery and was he was happy it had been well cared for.

So, weather permitting, I take her back to Swanwick Thursday evening.

Hurrah, roll on summer.

Obligatory photos attached.

Huge congrats K, you must be really thrilled. Lovely boat, and really does sound like a minter. Have fun in Swanwick on Thursday, and hopefully we'll be able to tempt you to the dubious pleasures of the D&D in Wokingham at some point as well!

Cheers
Jimmy

What a great looking boat - now all you have to do is join some of your fellow Forumites out here in the Med., no need to wait for summer!

Hope you have a great time on your new boat!

Congratulations Kevin to you and R. She does indeed look completely mint. Has been very well cared for. I love the layout and the colours - all perfect. Hope you have a fantastic summer aboard

Nice pics btw - if the day job gets boring you could be a boat brochure photographer

Now you've got me thinking again...

V48 is definitely a Rat boat!

Hope she runs as good as she looks and have a great season.

Very nice too, Kevin. Are you going to base her at Swanwick? If so we'll look out for you.

Nice one. sorry missed the earlier posts. how old is she, looks like new to me.

 

[MapisM]

Wow, she really looks immaculate, congrats!
What's the small screen in the galley, above the electric panel?
I thought of a repeater of the radar/plotter at first, but it's not a Furuno by the look of it, or is it?

Congrats and may you have a brilliant time on her
