    Yes! Agreed! I'm also glad to call George , the owner of "Pake" … a new friend. He is a swell guy …and has been incredibly generous and helpful to me regarding my boat.

    I was really amazed at how well The NA 29 sailed …especially to weather. We were doing 6.5 knots in maybe 10 knots of wind. That "folkboat" hull is really wonderful.

    Yes … I hope Chris and Jess sell their boat soon. I KNOW how frustrating it is … trying to sell ..in a buyers market. It is TOUGH right now.

    Besides the 3 NA's we are discussing , I know that one sold recently in Hawaii , and I know where one is in Sausalito , Ca. 

    The one in Sausalito looks like a live aboard who hasn't sailed in years …but a solid boat. I have probably left 20 notes asking to sell on that thing over the last few years!

    Flying along with George on "Pake" North Atlantic 29 hull #1 , My NA 29 "Hakka" is #2 . Bounty Yachts used Pake as a mold for mine.   We are related!  There are only around 8 NA 29's in the world …. which makes my sail with George even greater. What a sweet sailing machine. Designed by Blondie Hasler and Angus Primrose. I am so excited and inspired to get my boat up and running. Thank you George …for showing me the ropes …literally!!! xoxoxo
