It looks like we're finally going to have some nice spring weather…just in time for summer! From various forecasts, it looks like we're going to enjoy temps in the mid to upper 70s.

Just Cruising by: The Rochade

The Rochade flies the Caman Island flag and is a creation from Delta Marine that's out for a test drive in Puget Sound.
Here's a little more we found:
She can sleep up to twelve guests in five cabins and up to ten crew members in five crew cabins. Rochade is classed to Lloyd's Register and compliant to the MCA.
On the technical side, Rochade uses twin MTU V16 4000 diesel engines. 22 knots is the expected top speed with a cruising speed of 18 knots. At 12 knots, a healthy range of 2,700 nautical miles is expected, drawing from 53,000 LT tanks. This new Delta is up for sale through a reputable broker.
Delta Marine is the builder of the yacht Laurel, which we wrote about a few years ago when she too was off the shores of West Seattle.
