Kaufman 47, same basic dna as the Hylas boats. Fairly fast, the po won his
class in the Marion-Bermuda Race. John bought the boat in March, messed
around in NE most of the summer with his girls, sailed down from Newport in
late October, I was supposed to go on that leg but missed it due to family
obligations. It was a fairly wild ride down from Newport, usually is that
time of year from what I've been told. We listened to that Herb guy up in
Canada who does the yacht routing service, those guys coming down from the
north were getting hammered, while we were sailing south in good weather.

Nice account, John. 6.5 kn avg. Not bad. What boat were you on? Why
Ft.
Laud? Was this a delivery via Bermuda? Bermuda is most often used to
gain
easting to the islands.
