Is it true that the keel for Passage was cast in the sand on a caribbean beach? Or urban myth? Ron Wild Cheri C&C 30-1 STL

By the way, Guy Gurney is the noted marine photographer who lives in Connecticut, whom I met several years ago, and like you, I asked "Didn't you design Windward Passage?" I got the feeling he had been asked that question several times previously, so handled it with good grace! The C&C 66 Phantom, owned by Ralph Ryder, was an early C&C IOR design which I think debuted at the 1973 SORC. She was also one of Big George's last designs before he took on the Presidency of C&C and handed the design responsibilities over too Rob Ball. I know, too much information!
