Cliff: Recently you have shown interest on my sail plan. It is easy for me to imagine that you are a serious sailor. Just what I would like to entertain! Here is my deal: I own an Endurance 36 (18,550lbs) sailing vessel, all
fiberglass, single skin, and with an unusual internal structure designed by a naval arch. (will be glad to get to the particulars of that, if interested). However, capping it, resulted in five watertight cabins; very strong. Returning to my intended trip: I am now in south
Florida with the intention to cross to
Bimini (Gun key), to get into the Great Banks towards Nassau.
My destination this year is Trinidad
Tobago in the way to South America. Passing, and hanging out in the many
Caribbean Islands. To be honest with you, I need an experienced sailor, capable to stand four hrs watch in a vessel rigged cutter. All
food and bevs. are in the house, as well as assistance with the return ticket. (unknown at this point). Vessel is an extremely well founded yacht with an eye on
safety first, comfort following it. All control lines, running
gear, and sheets end at the
cockpit. So no need to get to the deck unnecessarily. All
sails are brand new, as it is the boat.
Safety equipment include two
GPS (one portable hand held) sextant, deck
safety jack lines, man overboard
equipment, life preservers, and lots of prayers! Recently I was in 20 Ft. waves off the coast of
Florida... no one pint of
water shipped in! Inventory include four anchors, starting with a heavy duty 45lbs. new CQR, nothing below 35lbs. all on 3/8" chains. Capstan and gipsy on deck with chain lock. Owner/skipper (me) is a former N.Y. State Architect, now a Medical Doctor specialized in Cellular therapy (Stem Cell transplants). Among other things, my reasons for leaving the USA is the present government total apathy for what I do. I can't wait until Congress make up their mind (Like they know really what we do!) . OK Cliff, got the intention to inform you generally, and honestly. You can contact me at
zeusdeus13@yahoo.com, or call me at (321) 506-6339 although my phone have been acting funny near the
water, or in it, as I am. Sincerely, Car
