Dear Ken
It is good to see how well the construction work seems to progress. One
can only hope they won't forget to take down all the old newspapers,
especially the Page 3 girls .
Having just returned from the Southampton Boat Show here in the UK, where I was
privileged to go on board a brand new 40 II, I can understand now why
Nordhavn have such a loyal and enthusiastic customer base. It really
feels like a fantastic go-anywhere vessel, even at that size. There
might be serious rivals out there, such as Trader or Fleming (on the European side). But
somehow nothing comes quite close.
With this rapid progress, do you know when your boat will 'hit' the water?
By the way, it was interesting to hear that Sans Souci has aristocratic
connections. Philip Roach, Nordhavn's European representative, told me
that it was originally built (or at least conceived) for the late Prince Rainier of Monaco.
Apparently, that is not where the VIP strand ends. It has just been
bought by the Icelandic singer Bjork. She couldn't have made a better
choice for the rough North Atlantic, I guess.
