    Rick and Barbara not only built their own house, a hefty concrete boat (yes, a mono) but also an authentic reproduction of a 17th century coin minting press; they are dedicated artisans of the old school.

    Now in their best years - healthy and strong, with kids in college and free as two birds they researched and tested numerous cats until they found the ultimate adventure machine. They are about to cross the Atlantic and we will be watching them closely. Fair Winds Rick and Barbara !

    for the uninitiated:
    above is a Polar Diagram
    color curves show various sail-combos @ given wind angles
    the farther the plot from the center - the higher the speed

     

    Why are we addicted ?

    Speed has won wars, turned commercial fisherman into wealthy entrepreneurs and has also been a contributor of safety. In battle, a fast warship could outmaneuver its adversary or even escape from a boat with more firepower. Higher performance meant that Gloucester Schooners, 100 years ago could race against each other back to port and offer the freshest catch at the highest price. Just as proven in history, speed of a sailing yacht is important and gives a faster yacht more options.

    But the most important reason of course is: doing the horizon job on a slug.
