Intresting sailboats, multihulls and skiffs in the Caribbean

So far we have logged 2,000 miles of sailing since leaving The Bahamas on this cruise. I love all types of boats so the islands down here provide me with a kaleidoscope of vessels to see. Each island nation has a different type of local fishing skiff. The French islands are the places to find cool trimarans from days gone by. Antigua in season has the best mega yachts and big sailing vessels.

Here's a bunch that caught my eye.

Latest gun boat foiler

Well, she's attached to a boat!

Aluminum bilge keeler from Germany

Complicated rudder on an Ovini sloop. I don't care for this as it uses a hydraulic ram to move the rudder blade.

Another bilge keeler. To much draft but it needs no cradle!

Nice looking french centerboarder. But with a very small rudder. It's for sale for $70,000.00 euros.

See, the rudder is way too small.

French racing sloop

New and very nice plywood skiff built in Carriacou

Carriacou two bow racing dinghy

Boat building in Windward, Carriacou

Alwin Eno the builder

Supposed to be done by August

Nice fixer upper, kinda like a Jay Benford in the making

Beautiful Paul Johnson ketch built in steel from Ireland

Trimaran in Martinique that's using Val floats

Another Dick Newick tri just yards away. Lovely

French racing day boat

These boats are sailed with large sprit sails and all crew use trapezes

Another French center boarder

Interesting sloop with twin dagger boards at the sheer and twin rudders

20' long but it has it all on board

All aluminum Piver like tri

Tiny Newick tri in wood

Couple of rotting Pogos in the bushes. They are for sale.

Huge French going to rot in the same bay, so sad

Fast racing sloop collecting mold

Interesting aluminum tri

And last a chopped off Lazer bow being used as the shortest dinghy seen on this cruise
