Hi Nat,

A lot of this hype is coming back to haunt, for sure... (grin)

I've gotta wonder why the boat didn't go south back in November/December with all the rest. Can't help but think he wanted to keep it in New York until the last minute, to show it off to all his acquaintances... With ownership of such Sailing World Game Changer comes a certain RESPONSIBILITY, after all, to "share its luxury, speed, and grace" with as many of "those countless wide-eyed faces" as possible, no? (grin)

Being the honored owner of the very first GUNBOAT 55 comes with the great responsibility of sharing its luxury, speed and grace with whomever I could. The sailing world has forever changed!

On Father’s Day I took the first sail with my family on Long Island Sound and anchored in Huntington Harbor. If a sailing experience can be magical, this one was, and we all shared it together. We toasted the moment and then took turns at the wheel, sailing past every one, countless wide-eyed faces trying to figure out just exactly what it was that they were seeing.

Oh, well... looks like he won't be making that EXTREME TECH CHALLENGE, after all...
