| Regina Oceani is our 1981
Pearson 424. She was purchased new by Monty Duval, as
Magic Carpet, and sailed some 48,000 miles by him including
four crossings of the Atlantic. Monty's health led him
to sell her in May of 2004. Monty, the sailor's sailor
equipted this boat for world cruising. Pete was the
first to view her and made an offer on the spot. After two weeks of post survey adjustments, Danielle and Pete sailed her from Fort Lauderdale to New Bern, North Carolina. We sailed "on the outside" with stops at Lake Worth, Fl, St. Augustine, Sapelo Island, Ga, and Charleston, SC. Jill, Cami, and Kenna first saw her in August as the remnants of Hurricane Charley passed over North Carolina. We spent two weeks with her, including several days of cruising the Pamlico Sound. Since then, Pete has made many two week trips to New Bern just to work on the boat. Some of the projects included: new upholstery (Pete learned to sew), complete rewiring of the boat, new lighting, ash battens along the walls of the berths, a fuel polishing system, routine varnish work, raising the bimini so all of us could stand upright under it, new main, mizzen, traveler, and vang sheets, and dozens of small projects. Several family trips were made in 2005 and 2006. In October 2009, we trucked her to Fort Collins and blocked her at a good (great!) friend's farm just minutes from our house. He we have completely refitted her as a Blue Water Sailing Magazine project boat over several years and plan to splash the Queen again in the Summer of 2013.
