At the start of the 2025 Lightship race, Hana Ho, a Santa Cruz 50, came down and just barely fit between our bow and the stern of the boat in front of them. If we had come down with them and sped up, we'd have closed the gap and put them in an unenviable spot. With 4 minutes left to the gun, it wasn't worth collecting the foul, but boy, this is right on the line between skill and just a dumb move, especially in PHRF where the boats accelerate and decelerate differently.

Can a yacht look straight out of the 1930s and still sail like a modern performance cruiser? SPIRIT YACHTS Spirit 63DH © SPIRIT YACHTS Length: 63 ft (19.2 m) Beam: 13.8 ft (4.2 m) Draft: 9.2 ft (2.8 m) Displacement: 19.2 tons Top Speed (under sail): 10+ knots Price: approx. US\$ 2.9 Million With its sweeping mahogany curves and long overhangs, the Spirit 63DH (Deckhouse) captures vintage yacht aesthetics but hides modern sailing muscle underneath. Built entirely in wood using epoxy composite methods, it's lightweight and extremely rigid—ready for offshore passages or fast weekend races. The raised deckhouse design creates a bright saloon with panoramic views, while the layout includes a full-beam owner's suite aft, two guest cabins, and a central galley. Every inch is crafted by hand, from the varnished joinery to the teak decking. Behind its throwback charm is a yacht made for serious sailing, combining timeless design with real bluewater capability. #SpiritYachts #ClassicYachtStyle #BluewaterSailing #HarbourMasters
