Cruisin' the Rhumb Lines with SV Cruzan Rhumb II

Cruisin' the Rhumb Lines with SV Cruzan Rhumb II NEW IN 2020! CR II is now available for day charters with Capt Gregg (USCG 50 ton master) at the helm. BYOB. Email us for quotes.

This page documents the trials and tribulations of preparing and cruising our 2006 Leopard 40, S/V Cruzan Rhumb II! Dania is an ER RN by profession, and Gregg is a retired USAF colonel. We have been cruising ever since we met as undergrads at Arizona State University in 1980. Gregg grew up on St Croix, USVI and Dania would come visit during summers. She picked up the sailing bug then, while Gregg

had had it for years (because back then if you didn't do something on the water, you didn't do much on the island!). In 2006, we coerced our good friends from our Washington DC assignment, Kevin (Cdr, USCG) and Sandy (realtor), into partnering with us to buy a Leopard to put into charter to assist with paying the mortgage. After 9 good years in the BVI, we bought our good friends and partners out and brought CR II home to Florida where we retired after 23 years in the USAF. As you can imagine, CR II needed a lot of TLC due to the bumps and bruises of charter life. Its amazing the idiots who are allowed to charter sail boats! Once the bumps and bruises were remedied, we began the refit for what we plan to be our retired life of cruising the rhumb lines (preferably south)! This site is intended to document the transformation of CR II from charter boat to cruising boat, and then to allow friends to monitor our progress of cruising the rhumb lines. We hope everyone enjoys it and we look forward to seeing a lot of you "out there!"

CRII needed a bit of hull paint repair when we got home from the world cruise... dock chafe wore off an area of hull paint and stripe paint. After some sanding, paint thinning, etc, got it squared away. Not perfect, but the 10 foot rule works 🤣👌

My morning chore...recovering my main halyard from the top of the mast after my retrieval line failed when measuring the mast for the new sail. Thanks to a Tiki bar buddy and my Admiral for a flawless up and down trip.
