Hola amigos,
No se a que te referis en la descripcion del precio pero si lo encontras
barata te puedo decir que a mi me tienen que pagar 10 veces mas lo que
ellos cobran para subir a un velero de aluminio he ir a la Anyartica .
Hierro o pata en Tierra!!!!
Si quieren un barco bueno y en el cual tienen mas posibilidades de volver
tienen esta otra alternativa en la siguiente pagina:
http://www.tooluka.com/general_info.htm
Como siguinete alternativa (y esto no es propaganda) el David Payne diseno
de 50 pies que esta en nuestra pagina con Junk rigg y que se puede hacer
con Bermudian rig esta disenado para ir a la Antartica y Alaska para un
cliente que tuvo que suspender el proyecto. Ese barco tiene casco de 8mm ,
6mm y en la parte "debil" 5mm todo de hierro.
Cheers
Arthur

PS: Pepep necesito mas chistes para acompanar el brandy de la noche, que
tomo religiosamente despues de llegar del astillero.
