Philiosphy is a Southern Cross 39' built in Bristol R.I.. 1980 hull number 3. Days are 120-140nm. 30.6’ waterline and she is capable of a decent turn of speed as she is not a full keel boat. Built strong yet quite light with the Airex coring.. 2017 Crew is Jan from NZ
In 2017 she is again to Tonga and in June will go from Tongatapu to Vavau then up to Samoa and down to Fiji. Afraid my days are more like 120-140 NM. 30.6’ waterlineShe is capable of a decent turn of speed as she is not a full keel boat. Built strong yet quite light with the Airex coring.
