The Crew
The crew consists of Emma, Kara, and our trusty salty pup Admiral Sir Gunnerkins Reginald McGillicutty III, or simply Gunner to his friends. 😉
The Vessel
Our boat is a 2022 NEEL 43 trimaran, made in La Rochelle, France. She was launched in February 2022 and initially was a demo boat at a few boat shows and even made an appearance on a certain Youtube channel before Emma purchased her in November 2023.
