Kansas.

This boat is the real thing. * I met the former owner several times
and he and his wife took great care of it, and did some really serious
cruising, including several trips to Trinidad. * It has a fuel range
of about 5,000 nautical miles and is hell for stout. * The previous
owner before that went around the Horn twice with it, and cruised it
over 50,000 NM.
