Southampton GB, September 2013:
Making their very short journey from Dock Gate 4 to a keynote position at the entrance to the 2013 PSP Southampton Boat Show, the Sunseeker personnel manning the flybridge of their new Manhattan 63 were 8 metres above the road as driver Chris Bugler eased their 35 tonne package of innovation, luxury and performance into her show position, displayed on the trailer outside the Grand Harbour Hotel in West Quay Road.

Leading Delivery Captain Steve Dewhurst completes another Atlantic crossing on a Lagoon 560.
Severe weather in Biscay delayed the start of the voyage from Bordeaux which meant that Steve and the crew spent Christmas and New Year at sea.
The delivery to Ft Lauderdale was straightforward and uneventful, no problems, no technical delays
– just the way we like it.

Here is a video taken on the delivery of the yacht Seadream across the Pacific including a stop in the Galapagas and a visit by a whale.
A big thanks to captain Chris Armstrong for completing his latest delivery of a new Gemini Legacy Catamaran from Ft Lauderdale to Tortola. The route south from Florida to the Caribbean is an uncomfortable sail to windward.
In the winter season a big high-pressure area to the northeast is a dominant feature. When the isobars get tight, the wind increases and is sometimes very fresh (25-30 knots). These are called the Christmas winds and made the delivery particularly challenging.
The Gemini Legacy 35 is the latest catamaran to join our clients charter fleet in the British Virgin Islands
