Do you have "THE DREAM"?

Bob did. He chose an award winning steel cruising cutter design from the pen of J Simpson Ltd. To satisfy his boating dreams he amassed quality gear and spent countless man hours working on the boat aboard which he was going to sail off into the sunset. Like so many others' stories Bob's took an unintended tack.

Charles had "THE DREAM" too!  Charles wanted to check the "Alaska Cruise" off his bucket list. He needed an economical & capable vessel to carry him hundreds of miles and back. He found Bob's as yet uncompleted yacht, felt it would be an appropriate fit, and took the baton. 

The next chapter of the saga includes Charles casting off, and successfully making his voyage. He even included Bob in part of the trip. One cruise - two buckets!

Approximately $175,000 has been invested in material and equipment alone. Countless man hours have been invested. She has some finish work to be done. Her cabin sole is currently a painted finish. The head space is ready for finish work. Trim work needs to be completed. But, she is turn key operational and ready for the next chapter.

Many steel cruising sailboats have been ridden hard and are past their prime. Here you have a boat that has yet to reach her peak.
