Honfleur a Nauticat 33 recently purchased by Alex Nicholas joins the Soca fleet.
After being boatless for three seasons Alex has now taken ownership of a well found Nauticat.
Having spent the end of August aboard at Southwold getting to know the boat,
Alex with the help of Andrew Davidson then brought her down to her permanent mooring at Walton.
The Soca committee hope she will be out with other boats next season enjoying the sailing.

Bringing Natsumi a Sunbeam 37 back from the Baltic.
A phone call from my sailing friend David informing me that he had successfully purchased a replacement yacht after recently selling his Moody 336 leaving him without a boat for the summer.
After looking at a number of different yachts in various countries David had settled on an Austrian built Sunbeam.
Although nearer than the other Sunbeam 37 he had seen in Croatia, Natsumi was still some distance from its new home port of Tollesbury.
To hear about the trip from Laboe in Germany back to Amsterdam you will have to come to SOCA in the new year when I will talk about the first half of the trip home.
