    Taouey is one of my favorites too, and on another scale; Jessica, now Adix.
    I also invite you to take a look into the Designers forum where I have added a 180´Ketch to dream of... :)

    Jessica/Adix beauty

    Yes,

    Adix is a very beautiful modern classic yacht.
    I have difficulties to find Adix photos in the web. Do you have more photos or do you know where to find it?

    VERY nice additions Antonio!

    The diversity in designs showcased here really gives you a greater appreciation of these works of art, not only for their beauty, but for the engineering involved and the skill required to sail them.

    I'm ashamed that my time spent onboard sailboats is limited. My only sailboat was a 14' Hobie Cat, that I kept on the beach in Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida. I was 15 years old at the time and my interest moved to cars and girls when I got my driver's license shortly thereafter.

    In reflecting on that period, I should remember things like... the first time I flew the cat on one sponson, or days when the wind was calm and I laid on the trampoline without a care in the world. Unfortunately, the things I DO recall were... dragging that darn thing up the beach after a long day of sailing! :rolleyes:

    Whatever you wanna call 'em... blow-boats, wind-chasers, sheet-ships or boom-boats... you gotta love 'em!

    Swan 651/13

    My offshore sailing experience comes mainly from this extended Swan 651, 72 feet long. I sailed her when new in the mid eighties and she was considered a big boat then. All sails with hydraulic furling, Rondal for the fore sails and Reckman for the main in-mast furling. No problems to set and reef sails singlehanded.
    Longest trip was Grand Canaria-Madeira-The Azores-Hamble-Kiel-Stockholm, a five week experience.
    Today the boat is chartering in the Baltic and in the Caribbean. Maybe you have seen her, the name is Sway :)
