03/05/2010: "Maybe..."

I have been searching the world over. There are plenty of race boats on the market, many are major projects and some are simply dying slowly in a backwater unloved. To find the right boat in a location that I can realistically get to Cairns to refit and prepare for the around Australia Race in 2011 is a challenge. I have looked at possibilities in the US Virgin Islands, Denmark, England and Asia. Some long term multihull readers may recognise this boat. She might be the one. In 1988 Catherine and I raced 'John West', a Crowther 40 offshore racing cat around Australia. There was a big sister to John West which never made it to the start line. Maybe this time.
