Kindred Spirit is a Venus 46, built in 1984. She is a moderate displacement, fiberglass, center cockpit, solent rigged, monohull ketch, which we significantly customized before we began cruising full time. Since early 2001, she has taken us in comfort and safety across 50,000 miles of ocean, beginning in Baltimore, MD in a snowstorm. We are completing a total refit in New Zealand, and hope to depart for Fiji soon.
