| UPDATE: 2026-02-27 | Hello Sailors,
The shipyard has postponed the yacht’s clearance for the sea trial to March 20. This means the delivery voyage can start no earlier than March 23, 2026. I will post an update here as soon as it is certain whether this date will be met. For all interested crew members: If you are available on the new date, please register via the form. All previous registrations will also be informed by email. These registrations will then be extended if the time window works for you. Sorry, but delays caused by shipyards are unfortunately not that uncommon. It is just very frustrating for all of us at such short notice! |
| Update from March 9, 2026 | unfortunately, the shipyard has further postponed the date! It is currently uncertain when the delivery can commence! We will halt this project and re-advertise it once the date is confirmed. Alternatively, all sailors who applied for this trip can apply for the “Arcona 430” trip (see below) and will receive preferential treatment! |
