Hi. I moved the extra pictures to two separate threads so that hopefully soon I can copy the reports to the trip report archives.

Great pictures!

Very Nice - How was "Glad in it"?

Glad in it had a ton of berths for a 44ft cat.
There are 4 double and two coffin berths. The port coffin has A/C and the stbd one does not. However, you can leave the pass-through open on the stbd side to get a/c from the double.
Glad In It has every amenity... water maker, ice maker, cockpit fridge, generator, 6 A/C units, inverter ... and the list goes on and on. The roller furl main is a snap to deploy, but I must say that I missed the performance of a fully battened main.

I should add... this boat motorsails under genoa really well.

The genoa is big, but sailing down wind it always gets shadowed alot by the main. We have to tack down wind to keep them both filled. It's about 5.5 knots down wind no matter what you do, and less if you consider course made good. But if you crank the diesels on, 1800 rpm, you can motorsail at 8-8.5 knots, and the jib stays filled and doesn't flog around like it does when covered by the main. The engines don't use much fuel at 1800 rpm... probably a gallon an hour for the two of them.
