Although we have been a little quiet latetly, there have been lots of work going on behind the scenes. Our skipper @alanpriddy, land manager Alan Goodwin & engineer @captainstevemas have been hard at work - almost all the time! #gobritannia #TuesdayThoughts #everythingstopsfortea

...Since the start of the month, we have wrapped the hull & lifted her out of the boatyard, where she was built & put her into the water. Now with the installation of this super-tough, hurricane proof glass, Excalibur is watertight and ready for her engines to be commissioned.”

Just two weeks ago, the massive vessel, with its distinctive design, was carefully lifted into the water and moved to the #Hayling Yacht Company, where work has started on commissioning her engines and the final stage of the fit out. #gobritannia
