Aboard Dignity (Lagoon 420) Blog

Not a lot to say at the moment. Looking ahead, I am looking forward to getting feedback from Dignity’s first charter. CatCo rest up their fleet through September and during that time maintenance and enhancements can be performed. I am hoping to receive their wisdom so we can plan our next steps.

Dignity’s first charter begins today.

Things are getting exciting in a remote sort of way. First off, I now have some photos of Dignity which I’ve posted in the gallery. These were taken only today so they’re hot off the press.

I was also doing a little surfing today for marine audio equipment. Reason being is that I really liked certain aspects of the audio set up on Gato Chateau. In particular, I liked the way they had independent control of speakers in the cabin, the cockpit and on deck (speakers on the mast spreaders). The controls were a bit out of the way but the concept was great. After a little rummaging I came across the equipment manufactured by Poly-Planar. In particular, I like the look of the MRD-70 system and it’s ability to expand to multiple zones. I can dream.

Dignity charters are beginning to stack up. Lot of equity tucked away in her doing nothing till now so it’s good to get this going. Looks like she should be ready for a 12 day charter in August (lucky buggers). Also lined up a charter in October for someone who contacted me through this site. I am passing on the owners discount to anyone who contacts me this way. A little help perhaps but it pays for a dinner or two around the islands. More bookings already in later in the year and early next.

If you’re chartering Dignity in the future and reading this – please look after our baby.

I think I made a mistake on Saturday. Looking again, I reckon the boat with the blue circle was not a 420. The one just above it in the picture looks more like one.

Looking today, the one above has left the marina. As Knot on Call is scheduled out this week, I reckon that was it. Therefore, I still think Dignity was the boat identified earlier but for new reasons.
