Our French Handover Expert, Romain Crozon, recently sent us images of the latest group of Australasian clients who are in France to take ownership of their new Fountaine Pajot catamarans from the shipyard. The group quickly became great friends as they inspected their new boats, arranged additional works, explored the factory and the beautiful city of La Rochelle.
Pictured above are: Steve and DeAnne Tull who are planning to go to the Canaries and then across the Atlantic aboard their Saba 50; Ken Fowler who is looking for crew to help him sail his Astrea 42; Anna Brown and Hamish, owner of the Elba 45 (pictured) who are planning to cruise in the Med before returning to New Zealand in October; Alison and Antony Paijmans who took delivery of a Lucia 40 last August and came to La Rochelle for four days to give the group their advice and talk about their first season; Alsino, who is a crew member and friend of Steve Tull; and Peter and Tini Asquith who plan to do a trip around the Brittany Islands to become familiar with their boat before heading to the Med.
Welcome to the Owners Club and we wish you all an amazing adventure aboard your new catamarans!
