E-mail from the last owner of Reliant

Hola Andreas!

I have just been looking at your website.

What an amazing job you have done! I knew there were some rust areas to be repaired, but I had no idea as to the extent. It seems you have almost rebuilt the entire vessel!

You have obviously uncovered some design flaws, and rectified them (I never understood why they had aluminium tanks, for example). Your treatment of the bilge areas is also such an improvement, and flush fitting the windows also eliminates a rust trap.

Your workmanship is absolutely superb, and so thorough. I'm sorry that there was obviously more to do than you (or I) had thought, but now you can look forward to many years of safe sailing.

Congratulations on your achievement and I wish you all the best for the future.

Best regards,

Rob
Thank you very much, Rob, for the big compliment. Few people can appreciate our work like you.  I can assure you that we are still very happy with Reliant. She is a big vessel with a great shape. The work was worthwhile.

San Pedro Charter

Our first charter crew just finished their special adventure trip. All inclusive: relax by at the hippy beach...saling at cabo de gata, stop in San Jose and specialy night life in Agua Dulce. A great thanks to all the crew: Matze, Jimmy, Felix and Michi for the good and confortable time on board. Hope to see you guys very soon again on board of Reliant. Go on to the next adventure.
