My Little Paradise

June 20, 2017

Here is our boat anchored at Hockey Stick Bay. We live in a beautiful country.

Our boat is a 1988 Trojan F-32, built in Lancaster, PA by Trojan Yachts. The F-32 series, in particular, broke all sales records. Over a period of nearly 20 years, some 2,700 rolled off a line at that Lancaster, PA plant.
The F32 was among Trojan’s first ventures into fiberglass construction. From 1949 to 1964, Trojan built exclusively in wood, developing a momentum and reputation for affordable craftsmanship.

At AnchorThis particular boat has been completely restored to the original look, you can imagine a lot of custom work.

Here is an article about its history:

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
