Hallberg Rassy 40 - ivane applause
“We had a fast 18 day passage in strong winds, multi-directional swells and relatively few squalls. Rolly and Quick (sounds like a law firm you wouldn’t want to deal with?).”
“But iVane was voted the Passage Prize, 2700 down miles without a miss-step or whimper.”

Hi Will.
You may still be spoiling yourself in the South Pacific, or you may be back in the dull chill of home setting up for the boat show. Whatever the case, I hope this finds you flourishing.
We’ve crossed to the Caribbean as of a couple weeks ago. We had a fast 18 day passage in strong winds, multi-directional swells and relatively few squalls. Rolly and Quick (sounds like a law firm you wouldn’t want to deal with?). And, not surprisingly, iVane drove us door to door with quiet efficiency, no appetite and patience. We used the twin head sail set and it too was the answer for short handed crew. But iVane was voted the Passage Prize, 2700 down miles without a miss-step or whimper. I know you have a drawer full of applause for the H’vane and ours are not extraordinary service notes, but I feel the need to shout out to someone who cares.
Hope all is well and even better….
cordially,
brine
