boats come through the harbor every day.\u00a0 \u00a0I wonder if the USCG would approve of their safety equipment?\u00a0 Perhaps better not to ask.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

She&#8217;s one of a long production run for this petite 24&#8242; &#8220;go anywhere design.\u00a0 Tiny and very popular with a cult like following since her introduction in the 80s.\u00a0\u00a0<img

years ago.\u00a0 She&#8217;s rugged and looks the part of a world cruiser, which she is.\u00a0 <a

tow around, would fit right in a James Bond movie.\u00a0 \u00a0And, that doesn&#8217;t even count the two smaller equally sinister looking ones parked on the upper deck.\u00a0 His and hers?<img

with some excellent craftsmen in Trinidad where she has been stored for a number of summer seasons.\u00a0 \u00a0 She must be the best of her breed and I understand that she&#8217;s for sale.\u00a0 Bob Perry, perhaps the leading designer of cruising boats, designed her back in 1978.\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bluewaterboats.org\/lafitte-44\/\">Read about this iconic design here.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0
