About Me

My photo
Alaska, United States
I am owned by Pauline and Mark Blasky. My hull was built at the Duncan Marine Yard in Taiwan and launched in Dec of 1980. It is a William Garden design based on the Pixie Design and called by Duncan Marine a Freedom 45. They are the fourth owners and have owned me the longest. They have done extensive refitting to me including replacing my entire deck structure and rig. My masts are roughly 10% taller than original and now are made of aluminium as opposed to the original wood ones, which, though pretty, were always problematic.

Our Rating


Well for those of you following our blog.  You will remember how I was rather disappointed with the club’s handling (or not handling handicaps) during the recent Rota Race.  So I went to Pacific Handicap Racing Fleet of the Northwest and applied for an official handicap.  Lots of measuring and a several emails later we got our handicap.  It was 236 with spinnaker and 248 without.  A whole 15 points more than we had originally asked for.  So we would have won the whole thing.  Oh and to add insult to it all I found out the pompous people who asked us to with draw from the race because we didn’t have a proper handicap.  They, themselves only had an illegal handicap.  There was not one racer in the entire race had a valid handicap.  Go Guam!

Why Pauline is in Hong Kong

The reason Pauline is in Hong Kong : her nephew Joshua's 1st birthday.  So far all she did was eat and eat.  Thank you PJ and Pearl for your generosity.
