Congratulations to Swan Song on crossing the pacific to Panama. I am aware of another single engine boat that has made the trip from the Marquesas Islands to Panama within the last 6 months, after first traveling from New Zealand through the Pacific Islands. The boat is called "Broadsword" and is an Artnautica LRC58 built by Dickey Boats in New Zealand.
Not an easy passage against the prevailing conditions!

Here’s info on Broadsword, an interesting passagemaker: http://neffyachtsales.com/vessels/used-58-foot-dickey-boats-long-range-cruiser-motor-yacht-broadsword-238451 <http://neffyachtsales.com/vessels/used-58-foot-dickey-boats-long-range-cruiser-motor-yacht-broadsword-238451> http://dominocatamaran.blogspot.ca/2016/06/broadsword-ultimate-passagemaker.html <http://dominocatamaran.blogspot.ca/2016/06/broadsword-ultimate-passagemaker.html> —Georgs > Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2017 11:34:15 +1300 > From: Graeme Dickey <gddickey@gmail.com <mailto:gddickey@gmail.com>> > > Congratulations to Swan Song on crossing the pacific to Panama.
