What does one do after rounding the infamous Cape Horn on a sailboat? We pick up where we left off after sailing around the rock in stormy weather and share with you the majestic beauty of a high latitude anchorage and sail back to civilization to celebrate our accomplishment with fellow sailors by hanging our flag in the Southernmost Yacht Club!

What Next? Heading out into the Pacific. Pitcairn, Easter Island. I suppose New Zealand and the western Pacific islands like New Caledonia, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands. Maybe a circumnavigation of Australia. Think I'd give crossing Indian Ocean a miss with Somalian Pirates taking cruisers hostage. A clockwise route of Pacific taking in Japan. Where the winds and currents take you.

I just looked at a new J45 and it looks very much like your sailboat -- QUESTION -- I was surprised that the new J45, which looks like your sailboat but with dual helm wheels, had a "sail drive" rather than a proper shaft drive. Really surprised to see that. Does your sailboat have a shaft or sail drive?

@SailingSweetRuca Жыл бұрын

We hope you really like this weeks new video! Our boat is very similar to a J45, in fact the 45 was designed based on the 46 and Curtis had the chance to see the plans and give input before it was released. It was a closely guarded secret ;-) Our boat is a shaft drive, and we actually prefer this over the sail drive, but we wouldn't take a boat off the list because of it. They are well understood and serviceable everywhere.
