HOLY COW! You've got some monster toys there! And all the ocean passages! I've only done that in my fantasies. (Best I've done is Galveston to Key West!) LOL! But my dream is the mini-transat, love that Figaro!

Hey, Gal->Key West is no slouch of a passage, the Gulf can be a rough place to play. I grew up in NOLA & Houston, started sailing on Galveston Bay mid-60's. First offshore race was on an Islander 44, 1st passage was Galveston to Corpus on 'Bluebonnet', an ex-Ted Hood 'Robin', 56' centerboarder as were all of Hood's 'Robins'. We raced it in Gal Bay, too, but couldn't drop the centerboard all the way due to the shallow water.

Yeah, nice toys, but no time to play w/ them all. All but the Picnic Boats are in charter most of the time.
