It nice to have choices. Sometimes wish I had more speed options.
Nice!! Keep us informed in the performance. She's a proud Lady!
Depends on the perspective. Tooling from US. Most below deck engineered equipment from US. Shaft system, transmission from Italy. Engine is Korean.
A container is shipped from the US to build the boat.
Are things progressing towards delivery as expected?
Will you share with us the process from ship arrival, through to taking possession and mooring at your home dock, please?
What does Hyundai require for running-in the new motor?
Best of Luck,
Jeff
So where is the actual boatbuilding done? I'm assuming Asia. I don't much care, first ones were built in BC, last one I know of was built here in Anacortes. Tooling is now a long way from home.
Good luck with your new boat, looks good, sounds like the changes/upgrades from Camano era are substantial. Lot of boat in a little package.
Is the ship Kmarin Atlantica, aka Hanjin Mar? I fly right over Vancouver on approach. Always looking down at the ships. If so I'll keep an eye out...
I just saw this thread.
My parents had a Colvin junk-rigged Gazelle for many years. We sailed her all over the northeast, a trip to Bermuda and back, then from New England to Newfoundland then France, then back again via the Canaries and Bermuda home. A solid, capable little boat. They also did much of the Great Loop with the boat, and down to the Bahamas and back.
Then they got a trawler.
Google helped me. . I will be flying over Vancouver tomorrow evening. I always sit on the starboard side, so I'll have a look.
Looking fwd to the pics of her arrival, David. You must be as nervous as an expectant father!
Best of luck in the "berthing" process.
I was just involved with taking delivery of someone else's new boat two weeks ago and I've done this numerous times. I get nervous when the longshoremen crane it up 200 feet in the air and then swing it over the side!
Huge pucker factor.
But I am sure it is going to feel a lot different this time! Sort of like this:
My last patient today and I were talking about this. He operates cranes at the Port of Tacoma. He said he has handled large yachts a lot of times.
All but at the terminal!
