Yeah wow that’s a shame about the Black Sea! She’s a great little boat, really strong and solid, comfortable for two. The sailing motion can get a bit rough once a sea starts running, she can roll around quite a bit but I’ve sailed her 1200nm from NZ to Aus, and from Melbourne - Hobart - Sydney ⛵️ 

 Damn, that’s pretty awesome. Hell of a journey. Getting over the horizon from land is pretty insane the first few times. We have an 1850s historic shipyard near where I grew up (mystic seaport CT), couldn’t imagine doing it with a sextant like back in those days.
