After recent events with sponsors, suppliers, and weather, we are still trying to keep Poppet's refurbishment on track for our Winter 2024/25 departure! However, we are contacting our followers to see if our loyal fans have links to potential corporate sponsors. Do you know a business that could help us? We have lots of opportunities to offer in return. We'd rather spend the next few months testing Poppet and raising money for our charities, but getting Poppet back on track will take time and physical labour. We are nearly 80% complete, and with a financial sponsor injection, we have a plan and people standing by to help us with the boat reassembly and the remaining equipment and logistics from our 658-line list! Sponsor Information: sofatosailboat.co.uk/sponsor-inform… Sponsorship Pack: sofatosailboat.co.uk/sponsor-info GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/sofatosailbo… Crowdfunder: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/sofatosailbo… Skipper - 25/08/2024 gofund.me/c1d12ae4 @macmillancancer @MindCharity @MSUK6 @StHelenaHospice #dinghywithalid

Huge thanks to @bartonmarine for our box of goodies! We'll try to get some temporarily fitted to Poppet before @SotonBoatShow!
@Halfords_uk Terrible customer service. A missing delivery and I have been promised contact by 'support' since Friday. I cancelled the web order, but it has now been delivered, and proving impossible to return.

We've been waiting six weeks, but Poppet has moved into the boatyard. Lots of work is occurring this weekend, including a tent so that we can work on her undercover! Coming soon... paint, rigging, and nine new internal bulkheads!

@UPS_UK I am pretty disappointed by your service. One lost shipment, and one claimed as an 'attempted delivery' whilst the office was attended by two team members. Simply not good enough. Your service used to be great.
