What a great article! I enjoyed reading about your ideas for things I would never have thought of. Love the beach deck and the windows in the “kitchen”.

I wonder if you could comment on how your timelines and costs fared relative to estimates. I have always been loathe to build having heard the nightmares of overruns, especially on custom builds.

As I was reading, I also wondered about crossing oceans on Convergence. How did you find sleeping on a centerline queen while heeling in high winds? I’d love to have a centerline queen for convenience but having sailed through multiple gales in the North Atlantic, I have also thought that would be impractical. Did you find a solution?

So very interesting and well written. I enjoyed, and agreed with, all you described so well.
I hope you continue to contribute to Women and Cruising. Your knowledge and enthusiasm will not only help other women but, more importantly, inspire them to become involved with their partners and their boats and their sailing.
Thank you!
Pam Wall
