Picking up where we left off

We bought CODA in May this year after a long, way too long, search.  Never thought we would end up with an older boat, but older she is.  CODA was built in TAIWAN and marketed by a guy from Rochester named Gordon Present.  We think he sold about 50 boats total, although we have yet to see another of this design.  Gordon can't be found these days.

We commissioned her in Great Bridge, VA at a yard called AYB.  After a fire drill of errors we finally left on May 25 and spent three leisurely weeks delivering her to Dutch Harbor, Jamestown, RI.  We will spend the summer season here doing short trips to the islands and then head south for the winter in late September.
