RE: [External] Re: [Cal_Boats] Raft up at Clipper Cove (Charlie) - Now Rutherford

Paul, turns out it was an Albin Vega 27 which has now been “retired”. Matt is now in his early 30s. [cid:image001.jpg@01D00E1B.33262C70] Matt is now living on a strange looking sailboat on the dock next to where I camp Chicken Little (my CAL 25).

I spoke briefly with Matt and Nicole at Strictly Sail Pacific last year where they were discussing their research projects and demo'ing the new WD Shock "big daysailer" which they sailed to Japan after the show. Have to say, the boat did not look nearly ready for an ocean voyage, but just goes to show what can be done with a solid hull, seamanship, and good weather.The link has info on what I assume is the "strange looking" boat he's on now.

Seeing as I nevah hoyd of this Matt fella I googled his name, and found this: Red Dot on the Ocean ~ The Story of Matt Rutherford | | | | | | | | | | | Red Dot on the Ocean ~ The Story of Matt RutherfordOnce labeled a "youth-at-risk," Matt Rutherford risks it all to be the first person to sail alone, nonstop around North and South America. | | | | View on reddotontheocean.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | Remarkable. I'm a teenie bit jealous. Armed with my Cal 24 with a better pair of cockpit drains, a good ice pick, and a death wish, maybe I could do this too. Unfortunately, I love to take a shower every day.
