Hi Glenlemmy, welcome to the forum.
1st off I was looking for a cat in Croatia and was given a contact to source perspective boats. Zvonimir Kalinic' or Ze ran all over the country for us sent all information at no charge. We still message each other even though I did not buy a cat through him in the end. I found him very professional dug deep into perspective cats even suggested on occasion not to buy as too much work required to bring it up to cruising condition, he was honest and frank about these boats. He was genuinely looking for a boat to suit our needs and price range. I hope to thank him personally one day as we have never met. I can not speak more highly of him.

Hi Clarke I’m based in hope island and looking to go to Croatia and pick up a new boat. I saw an old comment from you on the forum and decided to join up and see if you would be ok with telling me of your own experience if you’ve done something similar
