Dear All,

Just a quick message to say I had a very good time on the delivery to Split with Anthony.  Absolutely great, very reassuring Skipper,  who boasted up my electronic navigation skills.

This was my third delivery (first one with Reliance), and looking forward to work for Reliance again.

Best regards,

Vic Meulemans

It’s been a pleasure to make business with you — appreciate your quick and efficient handling of all steps through the long process. Wish we had a secretary of your capacity in our Department!

Sincerely,  Lennart

Thanks to you as well, Nick,

It’s an efficient organisation you have!

Vita is now surrounded by ice in the Karlshamn Guest harbour. The guard there told me yesterday that they didn’t have a winter like the present one since 1986! We’ve have had bad luck, but I have had her prepared for winter conditions,  not much more to do in the present situation.

Best regards,

Lennart

Extract from Yachting World;

At that moment, purely by chance a fax arrived from Nick Irving of Reliance Yacht Management giving some details of his delivery service. As his company delivers a large number across the Atlantic each year his credentials looked good, so I approached him for the job.

Within days a skipper had flown out to St Lucia, two crew fresh fromTortola, BVI and they were on their way.

About 30 days later almost to the promised minute ‘Dash’ arrived in Dartmouth.  The skipper produced a detailed condition report showing what worked (and what didn’t) and ‘Dash’ started a lengthy refit prior to sale.

Expensive yeah, but still less than the price I would have had to drop the price to sell in the Caribbean

Thanks Nick —

Thanks also for a very professional service.  Your crew performed wonderfully and treated my boat as if it was their own.  Considering the season and distance to cover,  I have nothing but admiration for William and his team.  I would gladly recommend your company to anyone else.

Best regards,  Craig
