It’s getting closer

Just had notification it arrived Southampton on Thursday, will be delivered to dealer (in Poole) on Weds.
The storms delayed sailing, and journey was longer.

After Volvo have done PDC and dealer prepped the boat meets up with my customised SBS trailer at dealer, then to SeaDek in Bristol to have the cockpit,and transom walkthrough laid, to match what is on bathing platform.
Templates already created .. so that step done.

Good to see, getting there.
Looks very sleek and sporty under that cover.
Look forward to seeing pics when uncovered. :D

With restrictions, don’t see any chance of meeting up with this before end of July.
At least I’m not losing boating time, as restrictions would prevent me using it anyway.

Puts things into perspective.
I went to Southampton boat show under VIP tickets from my dealer, we were hosted very nicely by the dealer and his Father ...
His Father has now died with Covid-19.

Another step closer ... Dealer advises Sea-Dek now fitted in cockpit, boat matched up with its SBS trailer, , PDI complete
It is ready for collection from Thursday.

I’m in Wales and our restrictions mean I can’t go collect yet, no unnecessary journeys allowed.
Hoping restrictions ease off at end of the month ... and also boating will be allowed.
