This isn't just a vessel; she’s a floating testament to wartime engineering! Step aboard the Gyrfalcon, commissioned in 1941 to survey the brutal Aleutian Islands. Prepare to be amazed by the construction—we're talking about a hall framed with one foot of solid, old-growth fir designed specifically for ice navigation. For the serious engineers out there, you’ll want to see the twin cats and the massive fuel range built to conquer the harshest oceans on Earth. This classic boat reveals new secrets around every corner. Make sure to stay until the very end for the incredible, untold story involving General Patton, shared directly by her devoted stewards, Nancy Evers and Peter Mann! #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #Liveaboard #ChrisCraft #YachtTour #TrawlerLife #GardnerDiesel #ClassicBoat #WWIIHistory #ShipTour #NavalHistory #EngineeringMarvel #IceBreaker #Gyrfalcon #VintageVessel #Maritime

We had so much fun in 2022, we''re doing it again 13-20 May 2023 14-21 October 2023 Why join us? One of the main benefits of any flotilla is the lead skipper and on your 'Sharpen Up' Flotilla, Nick Hathaway is it. Having learned to sail in the famously blustery waters of Wellington, New Zealand, Nick understands the value of forward planning, monitoring situations and being able to make strong, confident decisions. Be assured that Nick, as lead skipper, has the experience to make tough decisions about the weather, about what ports your itinerary will take you to, as well as being a professional in-person point-of-reference if anything unexpected pops up for you during the week. With Nick leading the flotilla, and this year with Mahina joining the lead team, you will get to benefit from their both of their years together chartering and sailing in Croatia. They also know the best Konoba for amazing traditional Croatia cuisine, wines and other local delicacies. Add to this of course, over 15 years experience instructing and training both skippers and crew. And you have an amazing package!
