New Mooring at Haslar - 19th May 2019

We managed to polish the boat inside and out bringing her back to her former glory and removed the old name from the hull, we were also given a new mooring on E37 at Haslar Marina which will make mooring significantly easier.

Safe delivery back from the brokerage

A New Boat - 8th May 2019

After eleven years aboard our Bayliner 245SB we found a new boat a Sealine 310 Statesman which will be able to cope with the increasing size of the grand children and our wishes to travel further a field, whilst looking through the internet on Bank Holiday Sunday on the 6th of May 2019 Zena found her. We went to view her on Tuesday 8th May 2019 and by the 14th May she was ours a Sealine 34' (10.4 m) fly bridge cruiser.

She looked perfect to us just what we needed

She had been moved on the Thursday 9th May 2019 for a sea trial

We arrived on the Friday 10th May to finalise the deal

She looked wonderful to us everything we dreamed of

The covers looked great
