If you go to my web site www.jheld.mysite.com you can see photos of all my boats. The circumnavigation will be in a 45 foot steel ketch, it's been around once before, I never dreamed I would find one I could affford, even though it would be what I would have specified if money was no object. The 38 footer that I was planing on making the trip in is a Hughes, I expect it will sell well, it's a good sturdy bluewater boat with an almost new volvo penta engine. It seems there are too many 30 footers and everybody always wants something larger. Of course the numbers of boats go down as the size (and price) goes up, it drops real fast when you get above 34 feet and it seems it gets much easier to find interested buyers above that length. I'm in Kansas today but back to Florida and sailing and working on them Tuesday. Jon Held
