Delivery Update 2014-08-12

August 12, 2014. We have pulled into Barcelona for a 24 hour stop over as there are still very strong mistral winds forecast for today/tonight. We have plenty of jobs to get on with so it won’t harm the schedule. Just so you can keep the CIM guys updated Greg we should arrive in Port Grimauld/Cogolin friday early evening. I will be looking to leave to head to Corsica Monday afternoon.

All good with boat and crew. Just didn’t think it was necessary to go pounding into 35+ knots breeze. We will still have 25 knots towards the end of the trip but it will be from behind!

Hunt for The New Yorker's September 1957 issue. In this excerpt, we pick up the story with the publication of Olin’s first design in Yachting magazine and the beginning of the partnership that became the pre-eminent yacht design firm of the mid-20th century, Sparkman & Stephens. A yacht named Dorade was soon to follow…
