Re: She looks great, Todd... I came close to making it up to the birthplace of our boats...

I didn't realize you guys had boats built by Allied. What a great history that yard has! I believe the first fiberglass boat to circumnavigate was an Allied Seawind Ketch. Friend of mine (the Kuhners) took one around the world in the early 70s, and in 1984 I l ran into their boat in the Tuamotus - by then owned by a Chilean who had taken her to Cape Horn. The Seawind Ketch was one of my dream boats growing up and I would have gladly sailed one anywhere.

No wonder your boats look so good, they're well designed and built.
