We are going with a “suitcase” inflatable catamaran dinghy and a 2.5 hp Suzuki. For as little as we have typically used our previous tender, this seemed like a much better option. I had some extra hideaway cleats integrated onto the swim platform to tie it down temporarily.

Congratulations!
Are you going to sail for a few more days before the ship is transported?

Greeting

Pascal.

Very beautiful boat, congrats!

 

[Wartowne]

Pascal,
No. The boat has a bit more finish work to complete before it’s shipped so we can be at the Bay Bridge Boat Show in April

Congratulations, Captain. How exciting is this? Very envious over here. Joining this thread to be kept in the loop.
