Additional details

'PASSAGE' is an ocean-racer, built for speed and seaworthiness, not a swimming living room. So, creature comforts are limited. Crew sleeps in bunks, adjustable for heeling angle and there is only one toilet/shower. However we have a really good diesel heater, two freezers, stove, oven etc...
