 It’s a Flicka 20, built in the US in the 1970’s. I bought her a few years back in the Bay of Islands. Sailed her up that way for a bit before doing the jump across the Tasman back to Australia 
 Nice capable boats. We sailed ours from Amsterdam to Auckland and have now sold her. Was a great adventure. 
 What an awesome trip, would love to sail downwind through the pacific one day 
 Yes the Pacific is beautiful. The downwind from Costa Rica to Hiva Oa was the best sailing we had over the 2,5 year period. It was 6 weeks of bliss.  
 Unreal! Definitely a dream of mine to do a voyage like that one day. I often find myself looking at different yachts for sale in Europe that would be ideal for that trip.
