The 66 has had a great summer cruising the fabulous Greek islands and the Turkish coast. She is proving to be a real pleasure to sail and it all seems so effortless and calm. She has dealt with all sorts of weather this summer from 40 + knots of the Meltimi to flat calms, to the hottest August days to Indian style monsoon rains and come through it all with flying colors.
Shes now back in the Bodrum area and will probably again spend the winter ashore. . We had a few little niggles with some Whale and Lewmar equipment but both companies were fast and responsive in getting replacements out to the boat with great efficiently all under warranty – great service !
It has been a busy few months at the yard in terms of finishing off the structure of the hull, grid system and bulkheads and the start of the deck. As one can see from the photos there is a lot of carbon in the grid system and supports, about 250kg’s in the grid system and re-inforcements on the bulkheads and supported areas which will mean an extremely stiff yacht ! A lot of time has been spent 3 d modeling the final systems drawings for maximum usage of the areas for tanks and equipment to make sure that all areas are accessible for easy servicing of equipment in the long term, we would be pleased to explain this in further detail. We have also had some renders commissioned which I am sure you will agree show the fabulous lines of the yacht and how she will finally look, an exciting prospect !!
