While you're there have a look at his FPB power boat designs. I've been aboard his and it's a real voyaging machine. I have it from a very good source that "FPB" is short for "F**king Power Boat", which should tell you something about Steve's sense of humor.

Very nice. I recently finished reading Kretschmer's "Sailing a Serious Ocean" and he referenced Dashew's storm tactics a in contrast to his own a couple of times. Think I'll take a read for myself. Thanks!
