What is happening fellows ?! Its been a loooong time away from all the i550 fuss . But I am very , very happy to inform all my builders friends that hull 270 was finally delivered in Rio de Janeiro Brazil after over 1,5 year sitting in a wooden box, inside a container, somewhere between Turkey and Brazil.....
I am so happy.

And yes, the built has been finished for almost 2 years but the boat still hasnt had a chance to see some real water. Actually, I dont even know it floats

Welcome back! Hope to hear more soon- it's cold here, but I know it's warm there!

Wow, great to hear that your boat made it! We need a picture of 270 in Rio! (with or without the obligatory scantily clad Rio mulher jovem in the background....er...foreground)

JEROME !!!!!!!!
Great news indeed!!!

Now send us some "picturesque" photo's with the #270 as a background.

Please??

Great news Jerome! Hope she made the long trip without any issues. Enjoy that first sail

.

...sounds like your boat's got the most sea-miles to date!
......I'll have to add Rio to the next world junket............................as if!

Nice to hear you are doing well in Brazil and #270 has finally joined you there. I think M&S need to update your pin on the map.

Cheers, Kevin.

What is up guys !!!

I am here ! Alive and kicking, though not sailing much lately. I had to deal with other life priorities in the last years. But I am so happy because I can now see a window of opportunity to sail my boat in São Paulo. Just found a small club that seems to have all I need to finally sail the damn thing ! have recently exchanged messages with Chad and Tim on Facebook and I am really happy to be back in touch with all my fellow builders ! Building was such a life experience for me ! Hope to address some serious sailing matters in my next posts !

Great to have you back! Send us some pictures of the boat if you get a chance!
