Slowly Sailing
Información sobre Slowly Sailing
The story of a 60-year-old novice sailor who in July 2023 bought, as his first boat, a 30-foot 1978 wooden Hanna "Tahiti"; a gaff cutter with cordage rigging and no winches, with the idea of refitting her for live-aboard cruising and then, eventually, living aboard full-time and sailing... wherever.
These tubby full-keel throwbacks, first designed in 1923 by John G. Hanna, have successfully (if rather slowly) sailed all over the world, in all conditions. They are known for taking good care of those who sail them.
This one needs a fair amount of work, and a lot of upgrades. The next year or so will push my time, money, and stamina to the limit.
I have virtually no sailing experience, so that will be another challenge.
It should be interesting, as I am too dumb to know when I'm beat, and this classic yacht has cast her spell on me.
So if you are interested, please be patient as I catch up with the video editing and posting ... and feel free to like/subscribe/share/contribute.
