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. Thomas & Linda Bruce, We finally got your wonderful book. It was on a bit of a journey in several different hands to get to us in the Bahamas. When we finally thought we were going to get it, it came up lost from the bag of the person that brought it through the Marsh Harbour airport. I kept calling the airport for days and someone finally found it in Customs! We think it is a beautiful book with a lot of great information. We can only image how much work goes into putting all that information together. We were thrilled with how the pictures of "Ciganka" looks. Thanks for signing it also! Hope all is well for you. Tomorrow we start our Summer run of youth charters with 15 to 20 people living on board every week through mid-August. All the best to you Bruce! Thomas & Linda
