Gunboat 55
- We are the third of the Gunboat 55 series, built in North Carolina. We are life-long racers but this will be the first regatta for the boat, which is being launched in January and making a stop at the Miami boat show before arriving in SXM. We have a full racing schedule planned after Heineken, including the Transatlantic race this summer.
