Ineffable Rapido 60 shines in Caribbean


Owner, Steve Bourne has described the Rapido 60 as the Queen of the Ocean and Ineffable has been shining in the Caribbean over the last few months.

"It was very lonely", lamented R60 owner, Steve Bourne when he left the maxis and Volvos behind in his wake!

In Antigua (see photo above), Steve commented that "We were all alone because we left all the maxis (inlcuding one 130 foot maxi!) and three Volvo 70s (except for one) behind in our wake! It was very lonely...", he lamented! 

Steve adds that "It's very amusing to be beating maxis, boat for boat, and we're on a cruising boat. Can you imagine how fun that is?"
