Commissioning & Decommissioning - What's Up with our New ALUMINUM Sailboat? | EP 251
Just as we're about to start sea trials, a few more items need troubleshooting on our new Enksail Orion 49 sailboat, all part of the commissioning process of a newly-built custom aluminum cruising boat. We also participate in a nationwide ceremony honouring those who died in World War II liberating the Netherlands from Nazi occupation. We then tour a Dutch minehunter which is being decommissioned by the Dutch navy.
