The boat, completely had-built by John during the past 18 months, is a truly stunning example of workmanship, with so much superb detail.

A crowd gathered to watch the boat launched, with champagne poured over the bow and a special cake prepared for the occasion! The photos below are a taster – to see the complete collection, visit Pete & Abi’s Photo Website using the link on the right.

Just some of the superb detail Jade sets sail for the first time

By way of a look back, here is a short video summary of our trip.
