2 Circumnavigations Later: 28ft Pocket Cruiser Full Tour & Upgrades

After 45 years together and two circumnavigations, I’m sharing an updated tour of Atom, my modified Voyager Edition Pearson Triton 28. I’ve posted earlier tours some years ago but this one provides more info on design choices that were made and includes recent upgrades. Now that I’ve crossed my last ocean, Atom is still eager to carry on and in the finest shape of her life. I’m in no rush to part with her, but if the right person comes along who appreciates her legacy and wants to keep using this boat for what she was designed to do, I’m ready to pass the torch. Thanks to everyone who has read the books, watched the videos, and shared their own journeys with me over the years. The videos will continue, so stay tuned.
