News of prototype Gypsy 28
As many of you know, I built the prototype Gypsy 28 catamaran on a very tight budget back in 1996. I cruised it for a few years and sold it when I built my Eclipse 32 in 2001.
Since then it has had a checkered history, indeed, it was almost abandoned for a few years. Fortunately it was eventually sold to someone who has been cruising it far and wide. Again not without incident, as it was hit by a fishing boat off Morocco.
So I was delighted to get the attached photo and comments a couple of days ago. In fact I was sent several photos from different people - S. Portugal is obviously a mecca for those who sail multihulls that can easily dry out and who want to escape northern Europe winters.
"Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk briefly with Gypsy's owner on the beach. He confirmed that she was yours. He's very nice and proud to be the owner of this particular cat, and very happy with the performance. After complicated covid years, he's now planning to do some long distance sailing, maybe going to spend the winter in the Canary Islands"
