An Update

Dec 20th, 2020 James The Build

Well, it’s been over a year since we set up this website and shared the news that we were buying a new boat called Scout. But 2020 wasn’t exactly a normal year, and so you might be wondering what’s happened to this project!

The bad news is that there has been a delay in the manufacture of the boat, since the Garcia boatyard that is building Scout had to shut down for some of the year. The good news is that they have been working hard to catch up, and the scheduled delivery has only slipped slightly.

We’re expecting the boat to be ready in October 2021 for its shakedown sail.

In the meantime Scout herself looks like this.
