Very sad news!! The factory where Vela Vie was built and the Bali sailboats has burned! We are hull 20. Hull 25 was delivered before we set sail this year. Hull 26 was suppose to take delivery yesterday. Hull 27, 28, 29 are lost. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Catana Group Families and boat owners during this tragic loss! 🙏 ♥️
