Details of Sea Biscuit's Construction


 The Sea Biscuit is a Shin Hsing cutter rigged Ketch built in 1981 in Taiwan. It has a Peterson 44 underbody and appears very similar above decks to a Passport 45. I have several photographs of her below decks.

Their kids were exposed to many different cultures that would be unknown to kids who stay in their own little town.
