production stop

[Alain Brauckmann]

Here in Europe all productions are stopped because of the crises.
How is this in the states ?

[Mike Brown]

I would think it has slowed but I've not heard that the US has stopped production. What does this mean for you? Will you have to wait to get your new boat?

[Alain Brauckmann]

actually Nobody ca tell me this ....

[Mike Brown]

I'm sorry to hear you cannot find out about your delivery date. I know you were excited about your new 40. Good luck and keep us posted.

[Alain Brauckmann]

Yes, I am very nervous about ! I pland my first trip for end of Mai and after this 2 months ( July to September ) sailing from Koper to Greace and back.

I hope that they`ll produce soon. It was written in a journal that they are waiting at least for June if there are no more costumers buying .... The problem is that in such times the workers are not really motivated :-(
I hop that this will not cause any problems later on the quality of my boat ...

If I had known that before I would not paye the first part of 33000 euros ! :-(

[Mike Brown]

Yes I would be nervous too. I would have expected they finish your boat since you had paid your money. Do you still have a boat you can use?

[Mike Brown]

Can you get your money back?

[Alain Brauckmann]

Yes, I still have mine.
For the moment the Elan 333 is to sell ...
Monney back, no way ! In our contract there is no date mentioned when they have to deliver the boat.
If they decide that I have to wait for an half a year ... they can :-(
I hope this would be happen ...

[Mike Brown]

At least you still have a boat even if it's not your new 40. I hope they give you your boat soon. Let us know what happens.

[Alain Brauckmann]

finally good news ! ( after phoning around .... )
They want to deliver my boat on the 18 of June ....

I `ll believe it when the boat is in the water in Koper.

[Mike Brown]

That's terrific. I hope they can deliver her on time. We're going in the water soon so we are excited!

[Alain Brauckmann]

Even if they deliver her in time , thats to late for my holidays :-)(

So they have to wait until the 17th July before I take her because we have no holidays before.
Than we have two months to try her ... I hope that they deliver her without problems because we wanted to sail in this time and not waisting time to repair what they have not done before !

[Mike Brown]

That's a shame that you will miss your holidays with it. I would not like that. Not too much you can do so no need to get upset.
