We are delighted to have a feature piece in Nov/Dec’s issue of Cruising World.
This amazing six page spread details Cruising World’s Managing Editor, Eleanor’s eight day passage aboard Sea Dragon.
As part of a crew of seven, Eleanor and the team, try to beat upwind from Maine to Bermuda in mid October 2016, tackling a bumpy Penobscot Bay, and hoping to find calmer waters and a more straight forward sail onto the Caribbean.

A short excerpt from the article;

It was a full-foulies kind of day…cold, windy and quite rough”
