Alexis and Denis delivered Tucanon to Bobby’s Megayard in Simpson Bay, St Maarten, for storage during the hurricane season. She is expected to stay there until December. The concrete blocks in the photograph will hold the boat steady if there are strong winds. The genoa has been stowed safely away and the main sail will be lashed to the boom, as well as being held in its cover.
