Captain Julian Cope said “It is exciting to make history in this way. Leander is officially the largest yacht to have ever docked at Nelson’s Dockyard Marina and I would encourage other motor yachts to consider doing so. The beautiful and historic surroundings are a wonderful backdrop to the event and our time spent in Antigua”.
