After recent events with sponsors, suppliers, and weather, we are still trying to keep Poppet's refurbishment on track for our Winter 2024/25 departure!

However, we are contacting our followers to see if our loyal fans have links to potential corporate sponsors.

Do you know a business that could help us? We have lots of opportunities to offer in return.

We'd rather spend the next few months testing Poppet and raising money for our charities, but getting Poppet back on track will take time and physical labour.

We are nearly 80% complete, and with a financial sponsor injection, we have a plan and people standing by to help us with the boat reassembly and the remaining equipment and logistics from our 658-line list!

With a 12-48v DC input, we really hope that @Starlink Mini will have a data plan that will work in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in our mini boat @elonmusk?

@elonmusk @Starlink Is there any news on the Starlink Mini? We'd love to fit one to Poppet (OUR 'Dinghy with a lid') when we cross the Atlantic Ocean in December 2024.

We've been busy applying @CoppercoatUK for @sofatosailboat!!

[SofaToSailboat - Atlantic 'Dinghy' Crossing! @sofatosailboat]

Huge thanks to @CoppercoatUK, for our bottom paint 🍑🖌 It will keep Poppet's hull clean during our Atlantic Crossing, in aid of @macmillancancer @MindCharity @MSUK6 @StHelenaHospice.

Copper Coat is kinder to the environment than most conventional anti-fouls. @TheGreenBlue

Huge thanks to @bartonmarine for our box of goodies! We'll try to get some temporarily fitted to Poppet before @SotonBoatShow!

[WillMyBoatFloat.com @willmyboatfloat]

@Halfords_uk Terrible customer service. A missing delivery and I have been promised contact by 'support' since Friday. I cancelled the web order, but it has now been delivered, and proving impossible to return.

Did you know that JK Habbershaw, the Skipper of SofaToSailboat, has surveyed and helped prepare @hmsoardacious twice for their Transatlantic rows! 🌊🚣‍♂️

[SofaToSailboat - Atlantic 'Dinghy' Crossing! @sofatosailboat]

We've been waiting six weeks, but Poppet has moved into the boatyard. Lots of work is occurring this weekend, including a tent so that we can work on her undercover! Coming soon... paint, rigging, and nine new internal bulkheads!

In December 2023, I am crossing the Atlantic in a tiny 'dinghy with a lid'. See the latest news below!

@UPS_UK I have confirmed with depot that your 'cover driver' didn't even try today, and that nothing can be done until next week. Tuesday parcel has been declared by @UPS_UK to be lost. Not great. Huge inconvenience to my customers.

[WillMyBoatFloat.com @willmyboatfloat]

@UPS_UK I am pretty disappointed by your service. One lost shipment, and one claimed as an 'attempted delivery' whilst the office was attended by two team members. Simply not good enough. Your service used to be great.
