Sara, Neal and I went down to the Coast Saturday for a little boat show in Toledo. I had hoped to be able to meet George Calkins the designer of the Bartenders. Sadly his age of 96 is begining to catch up with him. He did not feel up to the long drive down from Marrowstone Island. There were 3 Bartenders on display representing each of the 3 standard sizes, 19, 22 and 26. ALTAIR is a very nice example of a 26. Note the graceful curve of the shear line. Damn these are sexy boats! I do hope that REDWING will look as good when she is finished!

So, you've mostly done small boat sailing, but taken a couple of major ocean voyages on somewhat larger vessels, correct? Why the switch to motor now? Could this possibly be a sign of your advancing years? OR, and I hope this is the case, will this be a more comfortable "ride" for Sara?
