At the end of that Newport -> St. Thomas delivery I crewed in November 2021, there was a beautiful traditional-looking ~50-foot monohull cutter that tied up behind us at the AYH fuel dock in Red Hook. It had just made the same voyage we did, I learned. I asked the skipper what kind of boat it was. I can’t quite remember his answer, but I think it had the word “Passage” in it. Does that ring a bell for anyone? Ever heard of a boat brand with the word “Passage” in it? I think it is in the center of this picture, S/V Grateful Dad: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZbMB5nUEanRw5RtRyJ7MehAN4w-ZdGVO/view?usp=share_link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZbMB5nUEanRw5RtRyJ7MehAN4w-ZdGVO/view?usp=share_link>.
