1993 Superior Sailboats Ltd. Vic Carpenter Custom Sold Boat in Portsmouth, RI US

A purpose built boat by, arguably, one of the World's finest and most demanding craftsman. PASSING WIND was designed and built by Vic Carpenter to be an elegantly finished racer that could be easily sailed by a much smaller crew when deisred. She will be an ideal vessel for someone who desires a yacht for the same purpose (she is fast!!!) but given her gorgeous construction and finish and size she could easily be modified for cruising or perhaps crewed yacht charters and should be seriously considered by those seeking an impressive yacht to do those activities.

She is a stunning vessel with craftsmanship rarely found. After a four year layup she was re-launched and the only leak found was in the shaft seal, the bilges were bone dry! Vic Carpenter was highly regarded as a builder who could do it all and he literally could!! All of the castings were custom done by Vic as was all the wood construction and design work (his wife Hazel did the varnish).
