Encounters in Les Sables d'Olonne

The Sables d'Olonne will be the port of registration of Belisama. Visiting this weekend the Alubat workshop to monitor progress on the building of Belisama, I had a chance to wander around the harbour to meet a few known boats...

Along the quai de Franqueville, in the fishing harbour.

Belisama getting painted

On Friday 5 June, I visited the Alubat workshop to finalise the options that will be fitted on Belisama. The hull has now been assembled and the prime layer of paint on the deck and under the hull. We are still aiming at a water launching by last week of July.
