Anahata
FollowAnahata is a Passport 42. Left Lake Ontario in 2014, bound for the South Pacific. Crossed Pacific in 2015. The last 18 months have been in Fiji. Anahata has turned out to be fantastic short handed sailboat, very sea kindly and fast in most wind conditions. Monitor wind self steering is my favourite piece of kit.
