Yacht Delivery Bali 4.5 France to Tortola

New Bali 4.5 Catmaran Completes Atlantic Delivery

Congratulations to Yacht Delivery Captain Andy Mallion who has just completed the delivery of a new Bali 4.5. The boat was collected from Canet-en-Roussillon in the South of France with stops in Gibraltar, Canaries and Cape Verde before arriving in the BVI.

This was the first delivery completed for the leading charter company Vacance sur Voile who plan to use our services again for their next new yacht in 2016.

Every delivery we undertake is subject to appraisal by the client. The feedback we received was very positive.

Richard Lacelle of VSV says

Hi Andy, Nick,

Please find attached Handover from Reliance to VSV, approved and signed.

We thank you also Nick for your great coordination job and look forward to doing more business with you in a near future.

Very best,

Delivery Crew Find Capsized Trimaran

Trimaran spotted drifting almost exactly 5 years after capsize

On the  3rd December 2010 it was reported that Lalou Roucayrol’s Multi50 trimaran Région Aquitaine – Port-Médoc had capsized while on a delivery back from the finish of the Route du Rhum. It happened in possibly the worst position around 1,000 miles from Bermuda, the Azores and the Caribbean.

On Satuday 5th December 2015 it was sighted floating NE of Madeira. Delivery Captain Hanna Golebiewska on board the Lagoon 450 catamaran and reported the position to the operations office at Reliance yacht Management who immediately advised the Coast Guard. The organisers of the Route de Rhum have also been advised

Roucayrol, and his three crew sheltered initially in the interior of central hull to await rescue but had to clamber out and wait on the trimaran’s upturned centre hull when hatches failed

A British cargo ship La Scala bound for Gibraltar diverted to the upturned trimaran to recover the crew.

The hull is clearly a hazard to shipping and yachts in the area. Any future reports will allow us to predict future positions.

Yacht Tracking All Over the World

Reliance Yacht Management Provides Security & Assurance to Yacht Owners

It used to be not too long ago that Owners would hand over the keys of their yacht plus a bunch of money to a delivery captain, who then sailed off into the sunset with it all not knowing if and when they will see either again.

Fortunately things have moved on and Reliance Yacht Management is able to provide regular position reports through their tracking systems giving their clients much needed reassurance and charter operators a tool to manage their fleets more efficient and securely.

One system that is low costs, simple to use and easily transferable in the Spot Gen3 tracker

Anyone who travels by land, sea and air! Since its launch, SPOT’s satellite technology has provided peace of mind by helping initiate more than 2,500 rescues and counting and providing GPS tracking services. Over the past five years, recreational outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, government agency employees, National Geographic explorers and photographers, and researchers are just some of the people that have benefited from using SPOT.

The screen shot shows some of the yachts on delivery today with us using this system.

The Spot3 and other security devices are available through our store

Choosing a Yacht Delivery Company

Choosing a Yacht Delivery Company is not always straightforward. There are probably hundreds of delivery captains around the world that claim to be capable of delivering your yacht, but there are only a few dozen that will be truly competent. How do you find the best? Not to find the best can be a disaster for your yacht. (more…)
