What's the chances of getting a successful sea trial on Thursday

So then, how was it??

when i left Hamble this morning at 4 it was quiet. Bramblemet is showing F3s and F4s now so guess you were ok??
 
Well.......!
Just got back from what has been quite a long day.
I feel cream crackered!

The good news is the sea trial went very well and I'm all in for a Sealine F43 (2000)!
Not the least bit lumpy, but very cold.
There were a few things that both Jon Mendez - Thanks (skipper) and Nick Vass - Thanks also, (surveyor) found but nothing that won't get sorted by Essex Boatyards, Southampton, who I've got to say have been utterly brilliant (Trevor Betts).
From the short time I was at the helm, I soon discovered that it's very differnet form my current F33 and I'm still in shock at the prospect that I've gone from a 2.7m dingy to a F43 in 2 years 7 months!
I won't take possesion till end of January/early february becuase of varous things.... not least the fact that she will be re-carpeted throughout, and re-upholstered in the saloon and dinette in leather.

Glad its all gone well, just shows the weather forecast how reliable it is NOT I would have been there for you, anyway sounds like a good boat so maybe you didnt need me anyway.

Good luck with it all and roll on next season and of course the sunshine!
