Cruising / Circumnavigation in a 323
« on: April 02, 2023, 07:02:47 PM »
Back in 2010 I received an email from young gentleman interested in the Person 323. I showed him my boat, some of the work that I had done to ready the boat for coastal and ocean sailing...and then I promptly lost track of this young man.
Fast forward to last week (March 2023) and I received an email from this same man. He was asking about a boat part and he thought that I might have the specifications that he needed. Unfortunately, I was unable to help him but I did learn that in the intervening years he had purchased a 323 and was only about 1800 nm from completing a circumnavigation.
Even though I've been without my 323 since 2016, I thought many of you on this list might appreciate knowing a little more about this man's adventures:

And this about getting the 323 ready for a circumnavigation: https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f47/pearson-323-enchantress-circumnavigation-plan-140365.html
If you are like me, you'll appreciate Austin as an artist, filmmaker, sailor, and adventurer.
Cheers,
Richard
