Charley, the Saina is a scaled down version of the sakman that Commodore George Anson took in 1751. Someone in his squadron made a measured drawing of the boat. I got a high quality copy of the drawing from a museum in Australia for the club. Our boat experts scaled it down to 33 feet so they could fit it into a cargo container. The Quest went to Palau as deck cargo and wound up going through Singapore and one or two other harbors before she came back to us. We all worried about her the whole time but she came home in one piece.

Wakana is still waiting for her car. She put $2,000 down on it and they've prepared it for her. We hope to pick it up tomorrow.
