We wanted to share a quick update on the progress of POM III as we prepare for her return to the Isle of Man. While we had hoped to launch yesterday, we’ve encountered a minor delay with the installation of the bow thruster propeller. Safety is always our top priority, and we’re working closely with our team to ensure everything is in perfect condition before she sets sail.
Here’s where we stand:
Our surveyor has confirmed that the underwater sections of POM III are in good condition, which is excellent news.
The bow thruster propeller is expected to arrive imminently, and once installed, Keith will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is shipshape.
We’re now targeting the end of this week for the launch, with the return passage to follow shortly after.
We know how much POM III means to everyone. Your support and patience mean the world to us as we work to get her back on the water, ready for another season of adventures.
We’ll keep you posted as soon as we have more news. Thank you for being part of the POM III journey—we can’t wait to welcome you aboard again soon!
