Making it happen.

You don’t end up in Patagonia by accident. Getting across the Atlantic into the Pacific via the Panama Canal is no mean feat, but it’s a walk in the park compared to going via Cape Horn. Turn left for Brazil rather than right for the Caribbean and you’ll reach Uruguay, Argentina and eventually the Beagle Channel into Chile, passing tropical rainforest, arid deserts and glacier-headed fjords along the way (p52). Most of us will be content with reading about this kind of voyage, but if you did want to follow suit, what would it take? Ask any business guru or sports psychologist and they will tell you that making a dream a reality requires breaking it down into specific goals, consisting of manageable steps, reached via a well-planned sequence, held together…

HMRC not for turning on second VAT charge for EU-VAT paid boats returning to the UK

Email [email protected] Tel 0330 390 6738 UK sailors who bought and kept their yachts in the EU before Brexit will have to pay VAT for a second time if they decide to bring their yachts back to the UK. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) had previously stated in April 2019 that UK-owned boats would retain their UK VAT paid status, whatever their location on the day the UK left the EU, with owners able to claim Returned Goods Relief. This position was reaffirmed by HMRC in November 2020, but by mid-December 2020, HMRC reversed its position, leaving owners just days to return their boats to the UK before the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. Since then, the UK marine industry, including the Association of Yacht Brokers and Agents…

Tidal barrage plans for The Wash

Wildlife charities have expressed concerns over plans for a £2 billion tidal barrage across The Wash in East Anglia. Developer Port Evo wants to build an 11-mile barrage between Gibraltar Point and Hunstanton to generate tidal energy and act as a flood defence. The project also includes the world’s first tidal energy-powered deep sea container terminal, and road and rail links. The plans have yet to be submitted for planning approval so the RYA has not yet been consulted on the impact the development would have on navigation. The RSPB, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and Wild Ken Hill Estate are urging government and developers to rethink the proposal ‘to avoid catastrophic effects on nature and wildlife’, as the barrage would displace the flow of tidal…

Hike in fees hits Medway sailors

Boat owners who moor their vessels on the Medway and The Swale will have to pay more to keep their vessels on the waterways, after Peel Port announced an above-inflation increase in its fees. The annual conservancy charge from 1 April 2023 will be £105.23, and the fee for yacht club moorings from 1 January 2023 will be £125.18. This is an increase of 14.2% (RPI to October) and 15% respectively on the previous year’s charges. The Medway and Swale Boating Association (MSBA) has called the increases ‘unacceptable’ and believes it will have ‘an adverse effect on the number of conservancy licences purchased in 2023’. The MSBA chairman, Peter Norris said: ‘The announcement of this increase has also destroyed the hard work undertaken by Peel Ports’ own staff and that of MSBA…

225 shouts to mariners in distress

Official figures from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency reveal that between April and September 2022, civilian search and rescue (SAR) helicopter crews were scrambled 225 times to assist mariners and sailors in distress around the UK. Overall, there were 1,598 call-outs, with most operations involving incidents on land and the coast, while just 16% were maritime. A total of 872 people were rescued and 327 people were assisted by the service over six months. The SAR crew at Prestwick in Scotland was the busiest of the UK’s bases, responding to 237 incidents.…

Golden Globe Race skippers reach halfway

UK sailor Simon Curwen was the first of the 2022 Golden Globe Race skippers to pass through the Hobart Gate in Tasmania, marking the halfway point in the race. However, he struggled with light winds and high-pressure systems coming into Storm Bay, which allowed his nearest rivals Kirsten Neuschäfer and Abhilash Tomy to make significant gains on his position. Curwen arrived on Christmas Eve and anchored in the bay. He didn’t stay long as he was eager to rebuild his lead onboard his Biscay 36, Clara. ‘I was really chipper about two weeks ago when I thought I had a pretty good lead in the race. The ultimate objective is to get around, but having found myself having a bit of a lead, naturally you want to try and look after it and…

Funding bids invited for water refill stations

The marine conservation charity Sea-Changers has opened its Coastal Fountain Fund 2023 to install water bottle refill stations in coastal locations in the British Isles. The fund aims to combat plastic pollution by providing water fountains to the public. Applications are open until 28 February 2023. Each applicant can bid for up to £2,500 to fund the purchase of one fountain. The fund is sponsored by the international distribution and services group, Bunzl plc.

Funds sought for solo Arctic circumnavigation

Most sailors who complete an Arctic circumnavigation do so with crew. Ella Hibbert is hoping to become the first woman to complete the voyage alone and non-stop. The 26-year-old RYA Yachtmaster instructor has just bought a 38ft Bruce Roberts-designed steel hull ketch called Yeva, and is now preparing the boat for high-latitude sailing by fitting insulation and creating more stowage for provisioning. Hibbert wanted to buy a ketch as she believes the smaller sail plan will be easier to manage when sailing solo. ‘We’re going to take the fake teak decking off and then grind everything back and paint the deck with non-skid deck paint instead of the fake teak. The hull needs sandblasting, then it needs a new engine as well. I would like a hydro-electric diesel,’ she explained. She hopes to…

A trip down under memory lane

With Oddity laid up and winter stalling our housebuilding project, it made sense to bail out and follow the sun down under. A long-haul flight doesn’t offer the enchantment and satisfaction of sailing but it does get the job done, particularly if you are lucky enough to get an upgrade, something that after a lifetime of hope has morphed into a myth. Sydney is a wonderful city that is blessed with a myriad of far-reaching waterways. It looks amazing from the air and its allure soon entices you to Sydney Harbour Bridge to board one of many ferries to explore this marine network. Fast, efficiently run catamarans whisk you through wonderful scenery to take pictures at every turn. Meanwhile the person next to you is head down and looking glum as…

Like Richard and Lilian Woods: each sailing one of their own Woods-designed Strider 24 catamarans single-handed from Plymouth to Russia in a series of day-hops in 1989 – not long after glasnost and perestroika. Joined by Stuart Fisher in a third Strider, they regularly sailed up to 80 miles in a day and once covered the 70 miles between ports in seven hours. Or Rory McDougall, who built a Wharram Tiki 21 and sailed it around the world singlehanded. A few years later, he finished a close second in the Jester Challenge before clocking up to 185 miles a day on the return Atlantic crossing.

Do you set off on a long passage or not?

JAMES STEVENS, author of the Yachtmaster Handbook, spent 10 of his 23 years at the RYA as chief examiner Q Adrian is skipper of a 13m cruiser racer, Meridian. He and four crew are planning to cross the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Antigua. It is late October and Meridian is currently in Camaret, a port near Brest, north of the Bay of Biscay. Adrian’s intention is to sail straight to Gran Canaria, about 1,300 miles. The yacht is well equipped for an ocean passage, although it is, arguably, more of an offshore than an ocean design with an angle of vanishing stability, AVS, of a little under 120° rather than the recommended 130°. The wind is currently easterly. Adrian is studying the synoptic chart. There is high pressure to the north…

‘WE WERE USING CAMPING LIGHTS TO SAVE OUR BATTERIES’

Back in May 2021, my wife Lydia and I purchased our first boat, a 1994 Dehler 34 called Troppo Bella, and spent the summer exploring the beautiful waters around Conwy. Planning to venture further afield the following year, I decided it was time to rebuild the somewhat vintage navigation station. With much of the wiring 30 years old and a scant complement of switches, the navigation station hadn’t kept pace with the numerous navigational devices, lights and living comforts that had been added over the years. Unfortunately, half of these additions had since been decommissioned due to faults, including the Navtex receiver, SSB weather fax receiver and autopilot. Sat at anchor using camping lights in the saloon to preserve our fading batteries, it was also clear we had to be able…

ADVENTURE THE TWO FACES OF PATAGONIA

Everest mountaineers have the Himalayan Base Camp, Patagonian sailors have Mar del Plata. It is the last significant town in Argentina before the coast gets more rugged and inhospitable; safe harbours are few and far between. Those who pass this point can expect to sail through the wilderness of the Roaring Forties and Furious Fifties. We stocked up on food and bought long, floating mooring lines to keep our boat clear of the rocks in narrow Patagonian inlets, known as caletas. Violent south-westerly storms can appear within no time, so we had planned our passage carefully. With a north-easterly wind forecast for the next four days it was time to face the challenges and head south. We still had one hurdle to leap; bureaucracy. The Prefectura, the Argentinian coastguard, meticulously checks…

The greatest adventure

www.yachtingmonthly.com/books Yachting journalist Paul Gelder covered the whole of the BOC Challenge 1994-1995. He felt a special admiration for the amateur sailors who were there just for the experience of taking part. None more so than his friend 70-year-old Harry Mitchell, making his third attempt to round Cape Horn… Two hours after David Scully sailed Coyote across the finish line in Punta Del Este, Harry Mitchell was 12 days away from his goal of Cape Horn when one of the polar orbiting satellites circling the earth every 102 minutes at an altitude of 500 miles picked up a signal from one of the distress beacons on board Henry Hornblower in that desolate stretch of the Southern Ocean. The signal was relayed to a ground station in New Zealand. It was 2200 GMT…

Installation tips

A bad installation can render a good machine useless, so there are a few key points to know. Use dedicated through-hulls for the saltwater intake and brine discharge. Make sure the intake is low enough that it won’t be exposed when heeling or in big waves to prevent air bubbles entering the system. Don’t install the intake where there will be turbulent flow, behind the keel, for example, or near the props and rudders. The discharge should be above the waterline. To give the pump the best chance of producing the pressure needed, install it as low as possible in the boat. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on hose diameters and avoid long hose runs and tight turns that restrict flow. Finally, use correctly sized wiring as the 12V pumps will underperform if…

Mental health charity closes

A Cornish mental health charity, which uses sailing to help improve people’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, has closed due to a lack of funds. Based out of Penryn, near Falmouth, Sea Sanctuary shut at the end of January after a fundraising campaign failed to raise the necessary £200,000 to allow the charity to continue running its sailing experiences onboard the 120ft West Country trading ketch, Irene of Bridgwater and the 180ft Dutch coaster, The ARC. Founded in 2006, Sea Sanctuary has provided help for up to 500 people a year, including those who have experienced trauma. For refunds, donors are being asked to contact: [email protected]. Any money remaining will be donated to local mental health services.…

Recyclable Optimist begins productions

Production has started on the world’s first recyclable Optimist. Northern Light Composites and not-for-profit organisation Clean Sailors have now opened a competition to give sailing clubs the chance to own one of the first ecoOptimists. The boats will be ready by June 2023. The ecoOptimist is built from ampliTex™ natural-fibre reinforcements, Atlas HPE core and resin which can be reused to produce new components. Compared to conventional glass fibres, flax fibres reduce the CO2 footprint of the composite from ‘cradle to gate’ and don’t rely on fossil fuel resources for production. Instead, they sequester CO2 from the atmosphere during their growth and act as a natural CO2 sink during their entire lifetime. The Optimist is also recyclable at the end of its life. More information is available at: www.ecooptisailing.com…

Retracing old wakes over winter

There is a winter benefit to shore life if your partner doesn’t sail: you can revisit the scene of your cruise, by car, and regale them with tales of your nautical derring-do. To avoid the risk of boring them to death, however, it’s important to pick a destination where a good hotel supper is available. Over the years this has been a voyeuristic indulgence for the Durham clan during the dark months and has included a frosty-guttered B&B in the heart of the frozen Suffolk countryside while visiting the yachting arcadia of Snape at the top of the River Alde; a seemingly endless drive to the isolated village of Baltimore in County Cork to a seafood restaurant I’d been told about while rounding the Fastnet Rock during that summer’s ocean race;…

DIGITAL PASSAGE PLANNING

Andy Du Port is a former Royal Navy navigating officer and RYA cruising instructor. He also edited Reeds Nautical Almanac for five years Drawing up a passage plan is not only common sense, it is a legal requirement under SOLAS V regulation 34 which says that, whatever the size of your vessel, you must make a plan before going to sea. In this context, going to sea is defined in Merchant Shipping Notice (MSN) 1837 as proceeding outside categorised or sheltered waters. Areas where the significant wave height cannot be expected to exceed 2.0 metres at any time are considered to be sheltered; anywhere else is not and a passage plan is required. Your first responsibility as a skipper is to ensure the safety of your crew and boat, and it would…

LESSONS LEARNED

1 REDUCE THE DRAIN Managing power consumption is key. Modern tablets and phones use a lot more power than you think, especially compared to older purpose-built marine technology. Removing your dependency on them for long trips will give you greater sailing range. 2 LEGACY BACKUP Make intelligent use of your navigation aids. In a storm, tablets and smart phones are not reliable and you may be unable to escape the helm to consult paper charts. Legacy marine navigational equipment was designed for the sea so make sure you have loaded your route in case the weather takes a turn for the worse. 3 KNOW YOUR ELECTRICS Most sailors know how to bleed their engine, but few have a working knowledge of the boat electrics. However, depth and wind speed/direction are vital for sailing. Gaining a…

Are we there yet?

Ryan Davies and his partner, Faye, spent years sailing around Europe in their Hanse 430E, Chelsea, with their dog, Poppy Faye and I chose a warm morning in May to begin our cruise from Porto Santo, Madeira, to Portimão, Portugal. The wind was predicted to be between 8 and 18 knots and the swell, although initially an uncomfortable 2.2m, was forecast to drop to 1m. We were aboard our Hanse 430E, Chelsea, and felt excited about our four-day crossing. We raised the mainsail, unfurled the jib, set our course, trimmed the sails and were soon averaging 7 knots. With the wind in her hair, Faye was loving it, but I got a bout of seasickness, unheard of for me. All was mundane, and we soon settled into our watches. The next morning,…

THE BOY WHO FELL TO SHORE £15.95 Charles J. Doane, Latah Books Bluewater sailor Charles Doane has undertaken a thorough investigation into the troubled life and likely death of Thomas Thor Tangvald, aged 32. Tangvald, who was estranged from his wife and children, was sailing alone from French Guyana to Brazil when he and his yacht disappeared. Doane doesn’t consider the possibility of suicide but identifies a potentially fatal lack of self-knowledge, and a failure to assess risks. It’s a gripping, horrifying life story with a villain, Thomas’s father Peter Tangvald, two heroines, Clare Allcard and Christina Pasquinucci, plus any number of victims. It reminds us that abuse and trauma can take place in idyllic surroundings and domestic oppression can be hidden in plain sight. THE SUN OF MAY £12.99 Ben Lowings, Serantes Press This…

HOW IT WORKS STARTER MOTOR

THE SERIES HERE… www.yachtingmonthly.com/howitworks Virtually all diesel engines are started by an electric starter motor. This needs to be powerful enough to turn the engine at a speed high enough to ensure that the temperature rise due to compression is sufficient to spark an ignition. The starter motor has a small gearwheel that drives a larger gearwheel on the engine’s flywheel ring gear. The starter motor’s gearwheel moves along a shaft to engage the flywheel ring gear when starting up. The meshing of the starter motor gearwheel with the flywheel ring gear only takes place when the starter switch is ‘made’, that is, when the starter motor is turning. Therefore, once the engine is running, the starter motor is not turning, and the small gearwheel is not engaged. There are two types of…

MARKET-LEADING OPTIONS

ERD UNITS SCHENKER ZEN 30 I’ve yet to meet the owner of a Schenker Zen 30 who isn’t an evangelist for this machine. The Italian brand has been evolving its range since 1998 and offers a three-year warranty. Measure twice – the pump and membrane make up a bulky unit. www.mactramarine.co.uk OSMOSEA UNITS I love the design of the Osmosea units, which only have one moving part and are one of the cheapest ERD units out there, although reliability is poor, due to the materials used. Cheap second-hand ones are often available, so worth considering if you don’t mind doing a bit of engineering. www.osmosea.it SPECTRA CATALINA While not flawless, this has one of the best build qualities.

EXPERT OPINION

BEN SUTCLIFFE-DAVIES, Marine Surveyor and full member of the Yacht Brokers Designers & Surveyors Association (YDSA) www.bensutcliffemarine.co.uk The Hanse 388 is a relatively new vessel and because of that, not many have come on to the used boat market until now. I’ve looked at several 388s, usually while carrying out damage inspections abroad and for yards. Matching some of the gelcoat pigment colours can be a challenge. Looking carefully around the topsides in good daylight is a prudent move and will show up any previous damage. When buying any newish second-hand boat, it is worth approaching the original dealer and asking what, if any, model callbacks or modifications have been suggested since the model was launched. From asking one of the UK dealers, he wasn’t aware of any for the Hanse 388. It is…

ALTERNATIVES TO CONSIDER

DUFOUR 390 A designation that overstates a boat’s length has long been the norm among production builders, and the Dufour 390 has a hull that’s actually 36ft 9in (11.20m) long. She’s longer, lighter and more modestly canvassed than the Hanse. As with other modern cruisers of this ilk, the volume of the hull makes her bigger down below than older-generation boats a good deal longer. Such is the volume that, if you need to accommodate the greatest possible number of people, you can choose a layout with three cabins and three heads. Then there are three-cabin arrangements with one or two heads, and a two-cabin alternative with two heads and more cockpit stowage. I tested the 390 in the March 2020 issue of Yachting Monthly and found that she offered more than you…

New season, old friends

Arms spread wide, Spiros gestures to a table at the front of his taverna. ‘Welcome, welcome back. How are how?’ He disappears before we can answer and returns to spread a fresh tablecloth and set the table with a couple of glasses and a jug of wine. We return his greetings and enquire about his family and share our news. ‘How was your trip?’ asks Spiros. ‘You went across to Italy last year, no?’ It is uncanny how, among the thousands of customers he sees each year, Spiros not only remembers our favourite dishes, but also the details of our peripatetic life from a year or so ago. It is not uncommon. We arrived in one restaurant at around midnight at the end of a long journey to be welcomed by…

How can I make sailing more eco-friendly?

Q With our boat currently out of the water, we are thinking ahead to next season. I would like to try and make our sailing as eco-friendly as possible in 2023. Clearly, the boat is made out of GRP so there is not much we can do about that but what advice can your experts give us on making other aspects of our sailing more environmentally friendly? Ideally, it would be good if the suggestions could be as cost-effective as possible. Julia Young A Sarah Brown responds: It is great that you already think of your boat as part of your environmental footprint, but it is not necessarily a negative! The emissions were emitted when she was built so look after her; the longer she is in service the more environmentally…

ESSENTIAL WINTER RIG CHECKS

DUNCAN KENT has been testing boats for more than 25 years and is a technical feature writer and editor for numerous nautical magazines including YM During the spring fit-out we often appear to lavish far more attention on the engine and electrical systems than we do on the rig, despite the latter presenting a much greater risk to both yacht and crew should it fail in any way. However, because a yacht’s standing rigging has so many possible weak points it can be tricky to predict when any part of it is about to break. Close inspection should be a mandatory element of the pre-season preparations and checks. A detailed rig check will rarely take more than a couple of hours to complete and should really be carried out prior to any…

Embrace the simple life

There is a myth that a simple life is too costly to pursue. I would like to debunk it. Clearly in the case of voyaging at sea, one must have sufficient resources to purchase a boat and to make her seaworthy. Travelling with my family, I also feel that sufficient funds to cover a few years travelling, with additional put aside for eventualities, is a prudent way to go. But many have ventured out to sea with far less, including big names like Joshua Slocum and Bernard Moitessier… true voyagers in every way. Only you can decide how much you will require, but here are a few pointers: Smaller boats cost less. Simple boats with simple systems have less to go wrong, saving on repairs.

Thundery storm cells crept in from the southwest. They seemed so far away and I was convinced they would miss us, but a fierce gust blew up for about 10 minutes and 34 knots registered on the wind gauge, followed by a deluge of driving rain and appalling visibility. Eddie at the helm turned into the wind and with some sharpish reefing, we managed to hold our mandated course. As we finally passed the Scarweather Sands, the wind dropped considerably; it was as if Neptune was trying to play a joke on us. I reflected back to those dank November nights when I had decided that sailing from Portland to Liverpool was a good idea. At the time I had been keen to experience the Bristol Channel in all its moods.…

TOM RICHARDSON BOAT CLASSICIST

For over 50 years, Tom Richardson has been the proud owner of the renowned Elephant Boatyard. He’s built a reputation as one of the best traditional boatbuilders in the country – a highly regarded institute executing exquisite workmanship for the most prestigious of yachts. Even Britain’s very own sailing bastion, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston commissioned the yard to undertake the enormous task of refurbishing his Farr 56, Sanjula for his voyage around the east coast of Greenland. BUILDING A COMMUNITY Tom’s life has always been centred around the River Hamble; small craft and sailing yachts line the river’s edges but most tie up along central moorings, acting as helpful navigation, holding on to the edge of the channel. The tide rushes recklessly, racing up and down its course and even on the stillest…

MUSTO AQUA TOP 2.0 JUNIOR HI-TECH JUNIOR FLEECE www.musto.com Through its sponsorship of the British Sailing Team, Musto has developed a new line of protective clothing for the youth squad, including the junior Aqua Top 2.0 – a polyurethane-coated fleece that combines the heat-trapping properties of fleece with a waterproof outer layer. It also sports a high ‘funnel neck’ collar with fleece lining and fully taped seams – on the outside for a very technical look. Musto says the top is ideal for rigging up on the beach or being towed to the start, but would be just as useful for any young athlete on the water. Available in black, blue or red colourways.

TECHNICAL TURNING SEAWATER INTO DRINKING WATER

The feeling of autonomy that a watermaker gives a yacht is unique. It transforms that weekend-only cruiser into a go-anywhere, life-on-the-hook, adventure craft, breaking the tether to marinas. Filling your water tanks at the fuel jetty will always be a cheaper alternative to the eye-watering cost of buying and installing a watermaker, but there will be times when your plans are limited by having no access to a tap or if the only source available doesn’t look particularly appetising. And in the event of a burst pipe or accidentally draining your tank mid-passage, it means you’ll be able to keep sailing at the flick of a switch, rather than having to reroute to refill. DESALINATION PROCESS Watermakers – technically known as desalination units – use a process called reverse osmosis (RO) to…

Yachting Industry News | March & April 2023

Yachting events, new yacht listings, and sold yachts in march & april..

This article is a transcription of Denison’s March & April 2023 monthly recap video. Tune in monthly to discover the most recent yachting industry and superyacht news from Denison. Watch the full video above.

Hi guys, this is Bob and we are here to talk about what your friends at Denison have done, what we’re going to do, and a little bit about who we are. So the what we’ve done part. We had a busy few months here. So you guys know the Miami show happened, the Palm Beach show happened part of the Palm Beach or boat show events, an experience or whatever.

We had a launch party for this FRANK magazine. I think it’s the coolest corporate magazine in  yachting. It’s issue number five. We had a great time launching this, and by this, it’s lots of pages of really cool articles. Billy Springer, Jennifer Peacock . Thank you guys so much for helping lead the charge on that and putting it together. Issue six will be out really, really, really soon. If you haven’t read it, by the way, it’s a magazine worth reading. Check it out. 

Frank 5 Launch party Palm Beach International Boat Show yachts after dark

We also are doing a bunch of different boat shows. So like this week alone, we’re doing four boat shows. We’ve got the Newport Beach Show in California. We’ve got the Seattle Afloat Show in Seattle, and then two shows in Europe. One’s the Palma International Boat Show , of course in Spain. And the other one I can’t pronounce because I’m really bad at saying French words, but it’s the La Napoule Boat Show … you know what I mean.

2023 Newport Beach Boat Show

We’re doing that boat show. And then also one of the cool things we did, and at the end of this video you’ll see it, but we flew in a few, I guess you call them comedians or podcasters, Chad and JT . You may have seen them before advocating for public yachts . We helped coordinate a trip. They came down to Miami, actually Miami Beach City Council, and they got a key to the city and they kept advocating for public yachts. And they had really, really good funny times with us on the docks down in Miami.

Chad & JT Bobby Public Yachts Bobby Giancola

And we also sold a bunch of boats. So I’m going to highlight a few of them right here. The first one I’m going to mention is a 135 Horizon 2010 called KOMOKWA. That boat is up in the Pacific Northwest, sold by Kurt Bosshardt and Alex G. Clarke . Also a 41 meter Codecasa . Sold by Julian Calder in Europe and we also sold a 92 Hatteras . Those are great. Boat was sold by Brandon Barnes called Pura Vida. We also sold an 80 Marlow 2017 called Never My Love. Really, really, really pretty boat. Also, Brandon Barnes. Thank you very much. And Chad Robertson, everybody’s favorite broker, including my wife. She loves him way too much. Chad Robertson sold a 66 Azimut 2020 here in South Florida. Congratulations, Chad.

135 Horizon 2010 KOMOKWA sold

And now we’re going to talk about what we are going to do. So your friends at Denison Yachting, we’re going to do a bunch of different things. One of them is the Monaco Grand Prix . We’re getting ready to host some clients and VIPs on the balcony there in Monaco. One of the reasons I love that office, it’s right on the start/finish line. I’ve never been to the Monaco Grand Prix, but a bunch of people are.

We’re also going to be preparing for the shipyard tour where some of Denison’s brokers are going to be heading to Italy to learn. Obviously network, kind of like hear about opportunities at different shipyards, not only how they’re built by, but also by who they’re built by and all that stuff. It’s a really, really great time. 

Also a 37XP Numarine is launching. We have our team there right now, including Alex Clarke, Ryan Alexander, and others there at the shipyard. And we are also going to be marketing the living shit out of a bunch of new listings that we got. We’ve been working very hard at not only securing new listings, but our team out there, the marketing team is going to be like extra gear time getting as much attention as possible and what we can on, on those listings. 

launch of Numarine 37XP from Turkey shipyard

And now who we are. And the part of who we are at Denison, West Coast. So West Coast. It’s not West Coast of Florida, Sarasota, Naples. We’re talking about West coast of the US. So, starting in Lake Union or on Lake Union in Seattle , and going south. We have offices and people there. Next is Marina Del Rey , then Long Beach , then Newport Beach , San Diego . We really have the best, bravest, coolest collection of yacht brokers out there, and I am so excited to be with them during the Newport Beach Show. And also just spending more time with the west, when California opens up again.

And as part of that, the man responsible for us being on the West coast and really responsible for a lot of great things here at Denison is my old partner Nereus, who is going to be departing but will remain a friend of mine personally and of the company for a long time. And he is a big reason that Denison is Denison and kind of this thing, this it thing that we have and whatever. He is a huge part of the company. Was a huge part of helping grow this into a mature grownup place. And we are going to be sad to see him spend less time here, but we love him very much. And I just needed to tip my hat to somebody that many of you don’t know.

Denison Yachting Nereus Dastur

So Nereus, I love you, goodbye. And as a weird transition from sad things to kind of fun, happy things. Alex is going to drop in a clip of the Chad and JT stuff, who, by the way, those guys are from California, so it’s a perfect transition and their experience with us in Miami. Thanks a lot. Bye, bye.
