Different Drummer
FollowDifferent Drummer is an Alan Wright Lotus, 11m, basically white. When set up
for offshore there is lot of gear on the deck and around the cockpit. There
is lots of gear inboard too, as she is set up for being independent of
provisioning and refuelling for extended periods. The range on the 30hp
auxiliary is about 700 nm.
