Comments by an Australian Gypsy owner
Probably prompted by my recent post, I just received the following note from an Australian Gypsy owner
"Just thought I'd pass on a photo of our time on our 20 year old 28ft Gypsy.
We sailed as a family of 3 with our boy being 15months old at the start of our journey. We departed sailed her from Brisbane to just north of Townsville, far north Queensland, over a period of 5 months.
The Gypsy turned out to have the perfect layout for a young child, as it provided secure holding the entire way around the boat. The main cabin proved to be the perfect play room on long passages and while at anchor. We had enough space to store our gear and provisions for 3 weeks at a time if needed.
At one point we had a 10 day trip with 4 adults and 2 children. The separated hulls provided the perfect opportunity to have our own living spaces when we felt we needed a "break" from each other."
Another Gypsy was home built in plywood in Panama. Some years ago it sailed to Tahiti and is now in Fiji. Proving once again that the Gypsy truly is a "Budget Ocean Cruiser"
