I love you say “young man”, although the OP is almost 60, he is really young! :))

Back to the original post, it makes me feel emotional thinking this little piece of history was designed by Mr. Beebe and part of his collection of designs. Who hasn’t been inspired by his book? I feel the same when I read Jimmy Cornell’s books in sailing. Those big men!

Great! My wish dream boat (sail) would be in aluminum.

It is starting to look amazing. I always follow your updates. Why did you change builders?

I started to look into sailboats and if the idea is freedom to go anywhere (to a reasonable degree of course), sailboats are the way to go (unless you have really deep pockets and can afford other types of motor yachts). In my modest opinion, a blue water sailboat is more affordable and capable...

I’d ask what’s the association between name and a fish? Is because you are a marlin’s fan? Love fishing? That could be the case, but I still don’t see the connection with the name. Maybe a tilted planet earth is more related to the name.... just my ramblings. I’d vote for no fish with emphasis...

It is always so interesting to read about your adventures! It never fails, I look forward to your posts, I’m never disappointed.

Always hooked with your story! The Paul Johansen is stunning, I lust over it :)

The story amazes me, not that I would do it or attempt it, but interesting nevertheless. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-scotland-51155541/three-brothers-set-world-records-rowing-the-atlantic-ocean https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/scottish-brothers-row-record-atlantic-ocean-1368991

Mr. DAntonio, there is a reason I always enjoy reading your past articles and this one is no different. What a pleasure to read it. Thank you!

Wow, it looks deserted in that marina, where is everyone?

Awesome story, I always read it with great interest! Cheers!

The OP already responded to this question. See post 40. But then, why, why some folks do the loop? Why the Caribbean? Why navigating in a boat? Why not flying? Is “because I want to” not good enough? Because the adventure? Because it is there? I honestly was about to not comment, but then why...

Hey mate, some of us with zero or almost zero experience are following this thread with interest (even fascination in my case). I love those inputs from folks with lots of experience (either for yay or nay) and equally endure the usual prophets of doom and gloom’s posts, anyway, best of luck in...

Thank you for the reply. Interesting linked article, impressive capabilities including range at 10 knots or so. I admire its performance, but I have to admit it is not the profile and look I’d love. It would be a tough decision between capability and looks for me! (Thankfully I am not in that...

Are these folks from Mobius World now owning the old FPB / Dashew design? I never liked the FPB style but I’m curious.

LOVE it, lol

Good times, I’ll take your sometimes caustic but knowledgeable comments over 1000 others. Keep it up mate!

I was missing great Fish’s responses! :) I still remember displacement hull design vs speed discussion not too long ago.

I always lusted over this beautiful boat, in my dreams, of course, but I love the profile, the look and the steel.

Wow, I’d love to read about that adventure! Please!

Hey, my mother tongue is Spanish and then English as I came to Canada many years ago. I can translate if you need. Mi lengua materna es epanol y también inglés puesto que me vine a Canada muchos años atrás y puedo traducir si necesitas algo.

It amazes me the need of some people to define something or argue about it (although this friendly discussion is entertaining no doubt). I’m sure most of people here say “I’m going to my boat” or “yacht” but I highly doubt someone says “ I’m going to my trawler” (sailboaters I know are over...

Don’t forget Stewart (from Dangar) chose a boat in that condition on purpose, so he had the chance to show his work on you tube, to have material for his episodes. I’m a fan and a follower of his channel and I remember him explaining all that. Same for his amazing Detroit engine. The condition...
