Viking Anchor Arrived

I am very impressed with the professionalism of this company , the anchor arrived , and in a plywood box that secures it for shipping and the box is so well constructed and designed that I am going to round the corners and coat it so that it can be used to store the anchor, when it is not used for long passages. Now I know what cats experience when a box arrives.

and of course the anchor is super immpressive.

Thank you https://Vikinganchors.com (click link to open a new window for more info) and the Viking team for a superb product.
I look forward to giving a user review at a later stage.  

If you are in Horta marina (or wherever you see Cagarro) and would like to see the viking anchor in person, stop by for a viewing and chat.

 Launch Day

Launch day has finally happened, 2nd June 2025 - cagarro was taken to the Porto by Cesar Silva, He masterfully managed to position his truck so that the ramp was inside the workshop, and pulled Cagarro safely onto his truck, and after a restful drive to Horta unloaded his cargo at the port.

With the help of Greg and Tanya and Rueben from Clube Naval da Horta, Cagarro was lifted and placed onto pallets so that the keel and bulbs could be fitted. and then Cagarro was lifted into the sea. 

Many thanks to Greg Fortin for all his help, Ruben for being patient and helpful through the whole process and to Cesar Silva for safely transporting Cagarro, Disiderio Machado for the support and supports - and of course Tanya for her organizational skills, having power handy when it was needed, organizing tools and us and for all her support, ideas, solutions and insights throughout the build
