	TRADER 65 - "CIGANKA" AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER Hey Bruce, It's Thomas Owens and Linda Maruna that worked with you on the design for the "Trader 65". Remember us?? She sails like dream. She is the fastest boat in the Abacos, Bahamas where we run our charter business. She has hit 12 knots....sailing like a freight train! She is stoutly rigged and heavily ballasted. She lends herself so well as a live aboard in the charter business. We have enough of our own space in the aft cabin and our own head and shower that we don't mind having a heavy charter schedule. The galley is fantastic with plenty of space. We even put in a 6 burner stainless steel restaurant stove and oven. We LOVE the pilothouse! We have 20 windows that go up and down so we can get the fresh breeze and it gives us a panoramic view. We have a huge table that can seat 12 people. This is really where we "live" ourselves. We eat, read, do our computer work, and hang out all the time in the pilothouse. Has anyone else completed building this boat? Thomas did such a beautiful job on the whole project, doing it all by himself! You wouldn't believe how smooth the hull came out and we have never put any filler on the hull. The best compliment was when we were in a boat yard and we were down below. We heard this light tapping on the hull. We came up to see what it was. Two guys looking across the boat yard had made a bet. One said our hull was a fiberglass hull and the other said it was steel! So they had to tap on it to see who won the bet. We are extremely proud of our accomplishments with this project. And are happy having our home and business aboard "Ciganka"! Thought you would enjoy an update! We are doing super and absolutely love our boat! You can go to our website and see what we are up to and some pictures of the building process.
