Boat of the year 2015

Before to come to Japan, I was working at Sealine in the UK. The F380 is the latest model I have worked on. This boat has won the Motor Boat award 2015.

I have worked on the GA, the modified hull from the SC380 and produced the 3D model and structure calculations for the superstructure. I am glad this small flybridge has been appreciated by the industry. It is very hard to produce sub 40ft flybridge with the right level of quality and equipment within the tight budget required for clients. It tooks a while for it to be produced due to change of ownership at the yard but the result is great.

Transport

Moving boat from yard to the sea or a boat show is always an interesting process.

I have been living when child close to boatyard inland where we can see boat going on the road daily. In Japan, it seems easier to sail boat from one port to another rather than moving on the road.

I have found example of a Feadship superyacht in Holland going to refit and a Lagoon catamaran going to the Paris boatshow.
