sv Doric

Sailing Vessel Doric is a boat_logo.gif sailboat built in 1968.

Ray is upgrading Doric with a new engine, transmission, prop, fuel system, exhaust, and a complete head (bathroom) rebuild. There are plans for new cabinets, an entertainment center, new computer based NAV system, some new electronics, and eventually a full new set of sails, and possibly even some new paint.

And then the plans are to follow the sun and the adventures. Definitely want to head down the carribean islands and see some of South America. Then come up by Jamaica, Belize, Mexico, back to Florida, up the coast, and over to Europa, the Mediterranean, and down the coast into S. Africa, across to S. America. Then I’ll have to see where the wind blows.

I am a member of SSCA_associate_burgee.jpgthe Seven Seas Cruising Association. If you need any information about the Dania Cutoff area of Fort Lauderdale just ask. If you are near there tell me in advance and we will have to get together and swap some stories.
