Hi guys,
As I moved Mr. Blu to the Netherlands I added some changes to the boat. I moved the boat to Friesland with a lot of lakes and a lot of watersport. But it is also near the North Sea so crossing to the UK or Scandinavia will be possible. I got the chance to buy a shiphouse at Heeg. That was one of the reasons that I looked fo the possibility to make the radararch foldable. I noticed in a video of Denison brokers in the US that they sold a ST 52 which had a foldable radar arch. It was made foldable for the Great Loop. I informed with Beneteau but they couldn't help me.
Fortunately I got in touch with a wharf which does all kind of specialised work on motoryachts. Most of their work is on steel boats but they gave it a try and the result is very satisfying. The heigth of the ship can be changed from 6.5 meters to 4.10.
A video on Youtube shows the result.
