Back with a new boat

[Slowboattochina]

We were sailors....we then had motorboats...then sailors.....now .....Motorsailers! 46' Lien Waa custom built-in 2005. We will sail when it is nice to sail but at 60 and 63 years old will skip the heeled over 30-degree beats to windward.

Wow - very similar to the Gatsby boats that Jim Backus (SP?) designed, but I think were smaller.
