2009

Azura was wintered on a mooring in Salcombe bay when I bought her in December 2008.

I immediately had the boat transferred to Dartmouth and lifted ashore for various improvements carried out during the course of 2009 :

- installing a bimini top

- integral check and update of plumbings and electrics systems

- fitting a Mastervolt charger/inverter

The boat was kept ashore at the yard for the whole 2009 season.

- creating two additional cabinets each side in the main saloon + a special one dedicated to glasses

- improvements in various lockers around the galley

The Summer cruise then went on to Vendée, Arcachon, along the coast of the bay of Biscay, cape Finisterre and down the Portuguese coast for wintering ashore in Lisbon at Tagus boatyard :
