In 1999 we traded our Carroll Marine Frers 33 for a Corsair Marine F-27. We had allot of fun with the boat my bride named after me...
Here is Fadin' Fast at the 2000 Corsair Nationals in Fort Walton Beach. We actively raced and cruised that boat.
We then sold it and purchased an F-31. We didn't race the first Kimosabi. We rigged it for cruising, spent a number of winters in Florida and one in the Abacos. We cruised allot on Lake Michigan also, once crossing the lake in 5 hours. Allot of great memories...
After a number of years we sold Kimosabi and purchased a great little cruising powerboat. A Rosborough Sedan Cruiser.
We missed sailing and racing so we bought a J80.
We also had a Cape Dory Typhoon that we daysailed and raced at our local yacht club across the inner bay from our home.
Having three boats in the water for short Wisconsin summers proved challenging...
We missed our Corsairs so we sold the J80 and purchased an F-24 MK1. We sailed that boat in Wisconsin and Florida.
After a while we sold that boat and tried a couple Wetas. Great little boats...
There were other boats in the mix, too many to mention... Finally in April 2020 we sold our Cruising powerboat. We then purchased our Dash.
Unfortunately my body has told me it's time to close this chapter in life. The Dash heads North in the morning to meet it's new owner.
I have found Ian Farrier designed boats to be the most enjoyable sailing vessels I have ever owned.
It's been a great run...
