Peregrine

Peregrine is a 1972 CT41 William Garden clipper ketch with black and white topsides and a frightful amount of brightwork. She has been in my family since 1977, but I took control of her 1993 at the age of twenty and have spent most of my life since living aboard. My wife and I and the cats have cruised Peregrine extensively up and down the eastern seaboard of the US and out to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean as far south as Trinidad throughout the past 20-odd years. We got underway again in July 2014 on an extended cruise of three years (or so) bound ostensibly west-around the globe, but we will just have to see where the winds ultimately take us...Crew are Dirk and Gretchen
