Intresting boat. Any of our seasoned salts on here seen these before?

Wow, that boat is only ~50 miles from here. Would be neat to see her before she gets sold, I never saw her when I was berthed in Little River.

Very interesting design, and Lechter, well, he obviously had experience, so you would think the vessel capable...

The original boat was a 26. John and his wife cruised it extensively on the west coast, making trips to Alaska and across the Pacific in her.

I have an acquaintance on the lower Texas coast who owns a replica.

The boat has bare seated head room and being a double ender, would be pretty small inside, by todays standards..  But she's be a heckuva sea boat for surea

Hey'yal
yes I plan to circumnavigate the globe with my new love. I am a reformed powerboater and still need to learn to sail well. I am going to take a couple years to get her right and learn my boat. I plan to leave by my 50th birthday!(4 years)-Will
