[CT_V-20]

C'mon, you guys haven't even tested your v20s yet.

Back in October of '91, I was coming back from a swordfishing trip in the North Atlantic. Seems a confluence of weather conditions combined to form a killer storm that I got stuck in the middle of, it was truly the "perfect storm ;)." Well, there I was in 40'+ seas with my 18-year old 1.6L Sea Drive struggling mightily to get me back to port. Thank goodness I have the cuddy 'cause I needed to use the potty several times given the severity of the weather and the delay the storm caused me in getting back to CT. It took me so long to get back that all the ice melted in my cooler and my beverages became lukewarm! Anyhoo, after motoring around in the massive swells long enough to relay relevent weather data to NOAA (which couldn't even get storm chasing airplanes in the sky), I noticed that my Sea Drive was starting to sound a little tired and, of course, my stupid windshield wiper blade wasn't clearing my windshield very well any more. So I steered my Ray Hunt designed V hull toward home. That V20 cut the 40 foot plus swells so well that I didn't even get very wet (with my top up of course). I wouldn't be caught in Force 12 winds in any other boat.


P.S. I didn't catch any damn swordfish!
