Impact!!


Shake it off!!!


Push on, we are a long way from home!!


Skipper was 100% dry and warm..before , during, and after...

This was a great sail...steady 22-25 with gusts topping 30. Scout handled it awesome. Any doubters about chine runners...I'm here to tell you...she went to windward just fine...even clawing off that lee shore you see in the background. I am more amazed every time I push this little boat. Here are some short vids from today's sail

If you are building a Paradox...KEEP GOING ...it's gonna be worth it.

I live to far up north to go sailing at this time of the year. These are images form a car ride around the Laurentides region, just north of Montreal. A bit too cold for the boat!...

Keep on with the pics and videos Sean.

Beautiful Michel.... I am betting that you were playing the music???

Thanks Sean, you are right!...
But I don't want to highjack your thread! You are the one doing the epic sailing! I am just driving!...

There is a Paradox for sale on Sailing Texas. Is this the same type of boat?

Yes it is, although it has a few modifications. I believe Mike built this boat with an "softtop" canvas enclosure, and changed the tiller arrangement. He also changed the interior a bit to allow more room by eliminating some of the storage cabinets inside. It also sports an aluminum mast rather than a wooden one. He did the Texas 200 in this boat a couple years ago. I had a buddy of mine who got some info from Mike and was interested. The word is the boat is built very stout...emphasis was placed on sturdiness more than cosmetic. Mike is a carpenter by trade. I don't think you could buy the materials for the price.
