Where is Slovenia? Anyone here from there?

Shipman 80 ft sailboat made by Seaway, the shipyard based in Slovenia since 1983.

I approve of this sailboat for dream lovers:

I believe you are looking for a Mr. Betonov.

He may even have built your boat.

As a matter of fact I did

Well, depends on the launch year.

Been working for Seaway since 2007 to 2015 when the company went bust and now I'm working for SVP Avio, the company that took over the reigns.

How did you not know about Betonov,, our boat-building, beer-drinking, garden-digging, dog-walking, khukri-wielding Slovenian, who wanders the lonely Carpathian mountains only stopping now and then to light camp fires and dream of the red-haired women who've rejected him

The Alps

Fun fact, the boatyard is nowhere near the coast.
It's in Upper Carniola, nestled into an Alpine basin. So if it sounds that the boats are made in a workshop under a mountain it's because the boats are made in a workshop under a mountain. And to top it all off, we're even protected by a medieval castle

Because he spends a long time sitting on the toilet whilst counting his coins
