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 !

Speed

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.
