The countdown begins!
Starting this blog represents that our departure is getting closer and we can start to share the preparations, excitement, worry, optimism, organisation etc. etc. with you. Enjoy!
'Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.' Mark Twain
About Anima
Anima (previously called Anhinga) is a 40 foot steel cruising yacht.
She is a Colin Childs design Kingfisher 40 cutter rig sailing ketch built in 1983 by Max & Gloria Boag in New Zealand.
She has had two prior owners (including the builders) and has circumnavigated the world. She weighs 16 tonnes and is in good condition for her age. The interior is decked out with polished Rimu and is very comfy. She is our much loved home.
I guess the rudder isn't the main thing on your mind at the moment then.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to enjoying another sailhood vicariously.
