North to Bermuda: Homemade Aluminum Sailboat Passage Notes

We sail our 43' homemade aluminum sailboat from St. Martin to Bermuda. Tracking squalls, Code Zero sail setup, shaking out a reef, studying clouds, vintage fishing gear, catching wahoo, arrival timing, radio contact-it's all part of the 6 day ocean passage on Helacious.

Wonderful! Thank you so much for this glimpse into your crossing. Looks like everything was under control and all crew happy! It is a real accomplishment to build a boat from scratch and then sail across an ocean!

Thank you!

The new reel works well!

So easy, not having the rod getting caught up in everything helps. May not be as "sporting" but the concept is to catch fish!

What a great run! I’ve seen your amazing yacht on the hard at Herrington Harbour North. Where are you heading next?

Your boat looks very much like Alubat Ovni! I have Ovni 395. Wold like to see an outside an inside tour :)
