Sunsail First 40 to Portsmouth NH

Sunsail F40 yacht delivery.
Gocek to Istanbul then Delaware to Portsmouth NH

Hi Nick,
Thank you for selecting a very capable Captain for us!  The Captain and his mate left our boat very clean!  And since it had just been commissioned, I am willing to bet he had to do some cleaning before leaving Delaware!

Additionally, he did not complain when he discovered that the Shipping Line Captain did not disconnect the LP Gas connection last November.  This connection rusted over the winter, leaving the stove inoperable for the trip to NH from Delaware.  The weather is still very cold here to travel without hot food; so the lack of complaints is amazing!

Mike and I really appreciate all that you have done for us! Our boat would still be in Gocek without all your work!!

All our best,

Anita & Mike

Jeanneau 64 France to Palma

After completion of the delivery with the Owner on board from Les Sables D’Olonne to Palma, Mallorca the broker sent these kind words;

Hey Nick,

the boat arrived in good condition and the owner is pretty happy. Your skipper did a perfect job and was very friendly and nice to the owner and his crew. In all conditions he had the boat and the crew under control. The weather conditions were bad  but all of the people are fine.

Thanks a lot to you and the skipper.

Best regards

Lagoon 450 France to Ft lauderdale

To Whom It May Concern:
Hanna Golebiewska was the captain of the crew that sailed our new Lagoon 450
from La Rochelle, France, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida this winter. The boat arrived
safely and in excellent condition.
Although Hanna has the strength of personality to be in command of her crew, she
also possesses kindness and warmth. She arrived in France with one other crew
member from Poland, and met the other crew members for the first time in front of
us, having selected them from their resumes and her online chats with them. She
must be a very good judge of character, because they were all capable, wonderful
people. It was heartwarming to see the bond they had created by the time they
reached the other side of the Atlantic. She had the ability to mold these previous
strangers into an efficient crew.
She is very accommodating and frugal, and does not compromise on safety issues.
She is also extremely clean, keeping surfaces on the boat covered and protected
from wear and tear, and using only what was absolutely necessary. Even when two
tiny stove knobs were damaged accidentally, she made sure to purchase new ones
when she returned to France, and personally delivered them to us on her next
crossing.

We wish her the very best in her future endeavors!
Sincerely,
Captain Brian and Carol

Don’t Mention the World Cup

A former client brings us the latest news from New Zealand

Hi Nick

Just to let you know that we competed in one of New Zealands best known yacht races the 2015 Coastal Classic. A 120 mile race from Auckland to Russell. Over 150 boats entered, but only 69 made it to the finish line because of strong head winds and big seas. We entered the ‘no extras’ division (10 boats) where the rule is to use mainsail and Genoa only. We came third on line and third on handicap! The interesting thing is we used the original sails that the boat was delivered from the factory with! The ones the delivery crew struggled with in the Med. 10 years old!

Photo is on the journey home, but the race was in 20knts+ and on the nose!

Regards,

David

Lagoon 450 France to Spain

Here is the latest reference from a proud Lagoon 450 owner regarding our captain Hanna Golebiewska .

 

汉娜,2015年8月与我,我妻子和我19个月的女儿一起,在法国提到了一艘蓝高450的新船,帮我们办理了相关的船的手续。帮我们买了很多相关的工具和安全设备,非常专业。作为 LADY ELIZABETH 的第一任船长我们从法国的LES SABLES

D‘OLONNE 航行道西班牙的SANTANDER.

汉娜是一个非常好的船长,对我们家起到了非常大的帮助。作为一个经验丰富的帆船手,让我从她那里学到了很多。。。。。。

真心希望有机会进行下一次合作。

 

If by chance you cannot read Chinese, the Google translation is;-

 

“Hannah, August 2015, with me, with my wife and my 19-month-old daughter, France refers to a new lagoon 450 ships to help us go through the formalities of the ship. Help us buy a lot of related tools and safety equipment, very professional. As LADY ELIZABETH’s first captain from France LES SABLES D’OLONNE Lane of Spain’s SANTANDER. Hanna is a very good captain, played a very great help to us. As an experienced sailor, so I learned a lot from her … … Sincerely want the opportunity for the next collaboration.”

 

Hanna assisted the Owner with orientation, boat handling and equipment supply. She gave the client the confidence and skills to continue with his cruise into the Mediterranean.
