Just a quick note to let everyone know that the original, 30 ton, teak hulled, motor yacht "Passagemaker" as designed and built by Robert Beebe in 1963 is alive and well and currently on a one year circumnavigation of the Caribbean. I had the good fortune to purchase her from Charlie Baker in 1998 and after a year of hard work she is proving a very dependable live aboard. Drop me an e-mail at quentrall@gmail.com if you would like more news of her or if you can help me fill in some of her history such as voyages she made, previous owners etc. Have a great day............

Great to hear from you, Peter! Where is the old girl currently? What's your next destination? --Georgs On 9-Sep-10, at 1:50 PM, Peter Quentrall-Thomas wrote: > Just a quick note to let everyone know that the original, 30 ton, > teak hulled, motor yacht Passagemaker as designed and built by > Robert Beebe in 1963 is alive and well and currently on a one year > circumnavigation of the Caribbean. > > I had the good fortune to purchase her from Charlie Baker in 1998 > and after a year of hard work she is proving a very dependable live > aboard. > > Drop me an e-mail at quentrall@gmail.com if you would like more news > of her or if you can help me fill in some of her history such as > voyages she made, previous owners etc. > > Have a great day............

Hi Georgs, We are currently off the coast of Honduras having just left the Rio Dulce. We do a monthly Passagemaker newsletter and the August issue is attached. We are now headed for the Bay Islands and then down to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia and Venezuela to get back to Trinidad & Tobago where I live in time for Christmas. Next year we plan to spend a year taking Passagemaker down to Rio de Janeiro via the Orinoco, Essequibo and Amazon and if all goes well we will round the Horn in December 2012. We even have a 'dream" of taking her back to Singapore, her birthplace, for her 50th birthday in 2013. Incidentally, despite having spent over 6 years "up on the hard", Passagemaker is performing beautifully. She hardly leaks at all, big seas don't worry her, the flopper stoppers perform beautifully and she is the centre of attraction everywhere she goes (and she loves it :-)) I know you tried hard to make sure she was preserved and we really consider ourselves as the interim "trustees" rather than the owners. She is definitely going to see her 50th birthday. who knows she may make 100 yet! Thanks for all the work you did to keep her memory 'alive". It was thanks to your web site that I found her. .peter -----Original Message----- From: passagemaking-under-power-bounces@lists.samurai.com [mailto:passagemaking-under-power-bounces@lists.samurai.com] On Behalf Of Georgs Kolesnikovs Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2010 12:09 AM To: Passagemaking Under Power List Subject: Re: [PUP] The original "Passagemaker" is alive and well Great to hear from you, Peter!
