My father and his architect brother had twin Irwin 37’ center-cockpit Irwin’s in Naples and Key Largo FL, and as I learned to sail on the lakes of northern Indiana when I was 15, sailing in my father’s Irwin was about as close to heaven as it gets when the weather is good.......loved every minute in that boat, large enough for all our kids too........

And Mom & Dad lived in a condo in Naples where their boat was 50’ from their condo in a small bay that put them in the Gulf in 15 minutes or so - don’t get no better than that either........

Nowhere as long and sleek as this beauty, but many truly memorable days sailing.......

Yep. There's sumpin' heavenly about sailing.

And there's something amazingly beautiful in a feminine way about a sailboat.
