OK Cruisers, what boat do you have?

[willsailforfood]

I've got her sister, 2006 hull 42077.

Beautiful, looks like the same flag blue.. love the butterfly hatch in the main salon, we may have John at Hinckley make one up for us this winter. That's a really elegant touch.

Valiant 42. Returning home to the PNW from Hawaii this summer. Single handed.
Somebody ought to close that hatch.
Who’s watching the jerries?

1971 Ericson 35-2 “Cinderella”

Somewhere over 15k under the keel since I bought her in Seattle. Photos are from NZ, up the Weiti river in Auckland and cruising the BOI after we got our jib recut.

Averaged about 4.5 kn across the pacific. “Just one more day to windward darling” as we beat into the trades for 13 days before we could finally ease off and point the bow toward Hiva Oa.

Doing that electric boat thing, because fuck engine maintenance.

1972 Contest 31. Doing a rolling restoration. Lots of fun to sail, easily makes hull speed. Weighs about 10K, heavily built, my first boat and maybe my last.

1984 Cape Dory 31. I’ve done five singlehanded runs to Bermuda and back since I retired. Last year I managed to make it in five days both ways. The weather Gods were smiling down on me. It’s always nice when you can use the Gulf Stream eddies to your advantage

HR49. My first year with her. 700NM so far.

Interesting that you and I both looked at this HR boat and Indigo. I happily ended up with a Cabo Rico 45.

After your experiences with Indigo, I sincerely hope for a great experience with this boat.

We've spent the last year and a half on this beautiful Cabo Rico 45 hull number one. Currently heading back down the East coast to warmer climates.

While none of these strictly speaking have been my boats, I’ve been fortunate in that their owners (family and close friend) have allowed me to cruise and race them extensively over the years. I am in the process of securing a boat that will be mine alone and look forward to repaying the favors. Despite some being racing boats, I have cruised them all.

1958 Vitesse (Block Island) 40 (modified)

1994 J/105 (modified)

We cruise a 1977 Bristol 29.9, hull #17, our cruising “grounds” range from Groton Connecticut to the Bahamas, and the many places in between.

Fair winds,

Nice boat. I sailed on one many moons ago. Has a bigger boat feel about it, comfortable ride.
