Oceantrax is pleased to announce that they have been selected to undertake the delivery two new Arcona 385 sailboats from Henan, Sweden to Portsmouth and The Hamble.
Both yacht deliveries involved the new owners being accompanied and assisted in getting acquainted with their new boats.
Preparation in Henån Sweden before delivery.
Prior to the departure, Oceantrax skippers assisted in provisioning, passage planning, and preparing the vessel. They thoroughly went over all the details with the new owners to ensure that their expectations were fulfilled.
Departing Sweden in April involved chilly nights, occasional difficult weather alongside sporadic warm days, and ideal sailing conditions at times.
The ever changing Baltic weather in April
Due to a weather system moving across the North Sea, the decision was made to sail south through the Baltic Sea and then navigate through the Kiel Canal to avoid the most severe weather conditions.

Both deliveries were completed in around twelve days, a little longer than usual, but this was due to the owner's preference for stopping at night. Not that we complained!
