Actually, Guys,
My statement earlier this year to the effect that I couldn't afford to give away any more **years** of my old life on a another long range project boat still hold fast...
I am doing the initial tear out so that I know exactly what's down at the final layup surface. All but the hull, cap, house, & flybridge are being scrapped. After the tear out, the remaining void will be pressure cleaned and made ready to deliver to Rey Cabrera SR. in Miami.
I will be acting as Project Manager and Consultant for Gerry, with regular visits to Cabrera Yachts. There may be some of my custom parts used, maybe some of my designs, but the bulk of Gerry's B31 will be with Cabrera parts, (cockpit deck, engine boxes, interior kit, V-berth kit, etc.).
Rey SR. will have many fine ideas, as will I, & those ideas will be laid upon Gerry's door step and his decisions will be final. Should be an interesting collaboration, and one I'm looking forward to. 2 old farts, 3 countries of origin, 1 love, and a World Class Offshore Racer. Yup, interesting indeed!
One thing's for sure; other than the hull & the other 3 major fiberglass parts, this will be a totally new boat...
See you on the 18th, Gerry, congrats on now owning The Finest Boat Ever Built, & welcome Aboard!
HOOOOOWDYYYYY! Oh, yeah, and it'll be Yanmar Powered, & wisper quite BTW.
Best regards,
Patrick
