Commissioning Zanshin.
September 9, 2011
The factory tour in July was my first glimpse of Zanshin and the subsequent wait for her to be completed and shipped to the USA for commissioning and delivery was a long one, but she has finally arrived and has been placed into the yard on the hard. A lot of work lies ahead for the commissioning crew since she has to be partially ready and presentable for the Annapolis Boat Show in early October.

September 20, 2011This is the only picture I have from this past week. Due to rainy and inclement weather, the painting of the hull took longer than expected and the commissioning process is somewhat behind schedule – the vessel needs to be presentable (but not necessarily functional) for the Annapolis Boat Show in October | ||||||||
