Meet
Ferdinand
The Sailboat
The Book



 
Ferdinand is my Catalina 270 designed by long time friend and neighbor Gerry Douglas of Catalina Yachts. It won Cruising World Magazine's “Boat of the Year” award when it was introduced. I visited the factory every week watching Ferdinand being built. I could hardly wait to go sailing.

Ferdinand is named after one of my all time favorite stories. Ferdinand knew how to survive and to enjoy life to the fullest.

Munro Leaf's famous story of Ferdinand goes back many years and is still in print in more than 60 languages enjoyed by millions.

I ordered Ferdinand  after  learning  to sail my first boat, Aquaries, and that's  another story.
