Cruise Reports Taking our yacht to Sweden for the summer - any 50m marinas?

Oi Bouba, are you wondering if some Italian forumite who posted a comment on Navalmare/Williamsburg is actually a fabricator with the habit of spitting to anybody's feet...? :ambivalence:

Christ, this thread gets my vote as the most surrealistic. Ever! :)

Did I say forum? Sorry I meant Coliseum
 
I work with and visit a few yards that do work on 50m+ vessels, most are the fast ferries that run around the islands, and I also sail there in a yacht and a cat quite often.

Fantastic place to explore (though I've never cruised in New Zealand, yet)

Near Stockholm there is a yard with berths for bigger boats that was a military base on Musko, Guldboda North of Naynashamn and there are a couple of yards with berths near Vaxholm. Teno Varv, (Verv is wharf) and where the ferry from vaxholm goes into Rindo. Enjoy your trip it's a lovely place.

You might want to talk to the pilotage service not that you need them just that they are quite helpful and will certainly know of facilities. You can contact them here http://www.sjofartsverket.se/en/Maritime-services/Pilotage/
 
All a bit surreal for me but hopping to see the finished boat. I'm going to assume the sun will be shining for the party so I'll be bringing a few bottles of Brahma, Brazilian larger. Very refreshing. I think we'll need it after the tour...

Urgh...

That was a nasty interview.

I was wearing shorts for that i believe.

The full length interview was an ambush.

Id welcome you to take that down if you like....

The less linking/encouragement google has of it... the better!

Actually, I think you came across rather well. :encouragement:

Shame the interviewer was so amateurish... :disgust:
 
Fantastic thread! Chapeau to the OP. Looking forward to developments, custard and the Forum meet in Gosport Wetherspoons.......:D:D

Thanks Angele;

Hope to see some better ones come out soon. It's meaningful work; so it deserves a good voice. Challenge is on me to do it justice.

Love this thread, will be following the build with interest, makes my £6k bill for this years maintenenance on my little 25 footer seem even more insignificant than it usually does on here.

Anyway, good luck with the build R, and if you find yourself in port adriano ( it can fit up to 80m )in mallorca pop over to my boat for a drink. Itll be like having a drink on your tender but its all boats,so its all good.

You're definitely on. Look forward to it.

Capital R, once again welcome to the forum!
My question is also logistics, why convert this ship in Northern Europe when its going to cost a fortune to get her to the South Pacific? I'm sure a far eastern yard would be quicker cheaper on time on budget and then it's a short cruise to Polynesia.

I kinda feel like you're welcoming me back from the Dead bouba ~ did it get that bad? Sorry to all that i didnt join up in 1999; but I fear I'd have been boring back then.

:)

Welcome too, Whippersnapper. :-) Wish I could offer a newbie some advice; but alas, seems to be don't doi it the way i did. :-) Nice to meet you.

========

Question to all: is there anything forum users should do as a courtesy to YBW for hosting all this stuff?

Do they have a project where a bot could read content for questions for example, and suggest back-issues to order, on topics (monetising the content?).... would such a bot be acceptable to content users?

I'd love to index the content here (#fantasy of spare time) and catalogue the expertise; but a bot providing non-invasive article recommendations/forum links might be more likely to benefit YBW. Thoughts?

Best,

R.

Well you've successfully managed the wealth gap and the credibility gap but the next hurdle maybe the biggest. Now I've never met any other forumite in person but I suspect that when you finally meet us that we are going to look more like your dad's mates than yours:)

Lols; it'll be fine. For my part, most of my friends are much older; regulators and other professional peers tend not to be in their 30s... though some aspects are definitely younger peoples domains. I grew up in Board rooms collecting mentors, etc to, so do count a lot of my parents friends as my own too. We'll be fine. So long as you guys don't mind my mid afternoon naps and 4 hours of sleeping at night (necessary to cover so many time-zones) - I think we'll have lots in common. Not to memtion a steadfast curiosity in a large hunk of metal and machinary to be reviewed and debated. :-)

If you got one of your bots to analyze all the times of the posts you'd probably find we all have a mid afternoon nap ��

Perfect.

Stagger them out, weve got our watch keeping system all sorted.

Is it about 1000 miles from norway to the channel, 1000nm from the channel to Gibralta, 1000 nm from Gibraltar to Greek West Country?

Looks like I'll be in Vienna next week, then will try to go to Stavanger to see the boat. Unless i can get it down to the UK for that beer.

Google et al already indexes everything, so it'd probably be cheaper (and faster) for them to put a Google appliance in...but the bot idea is a good one for YBW....they probably don't have the spare budget though; even though it would pay for itself many times over in the long term.
