 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
