Weather in Ardrossan was very cold but they were not under snow as Aran was (and still is..) just across the sound. So the roll out of Kwanza was done on schedule.!
The mast was mounted but the rigging not set up yet.
And the Arch was installed.
Lets hope no damage sustained and that everything done with care and attention...
Next waypoint on the schedule is the launch due to take place on the 4th April 2013.
We will then accept the yacht on the 10th April. At which point we will Christen her. Two bottles of Luxembourg Cremante, one for her and the other for us...
At this point I should mention that I have bought the following equipment:
A dinghy. Waveline 270 inflatable rib.
A 6 hp Yamaha outboard, with external tank, and lock
A 6 man offshore Life Raft
An "A" sail or Spinnaker with a Snuffer.
Complete set of cockpit cushions.
We still need:
Life vests. We are looking at the Spinlock or Kru vests, and would like personal AIS and PLBs.
Complete Safety Kit, including flares etc.
Grab bags.
Wet gear and footwear. Probably the Musto MPX.
Personal VHF sets that are small enough to fit the pocket and that can float.
