Principia — My Freedom 44
Garry Hoyt’s Freedom 44 is obviously the most beautiful yacht of all time. ‘Principia’ is number 25 of 26 built, sailing under main, mizzen, and staysail. From Kerr Lake on the Arkansas River, we traveled down the Arkansas and Mississippi to New Orleans summer fall of ’96. 1000 miles. Beautiful!

Alligator – My Biloxi Lugger
Alligator has proven herself to be a fast, safe, tough, and capable cruiser, covering twenty eight thousand miles in perfect comfort during the past 4 years. Walter’s goal was to build a vessel that would be superior to the average cruising powerboat in every way. There is simply no comparison between this Biloxi Lugger and the typical “built to a price” production trawler. She was designed and constructed in Pensacola, FL, by Walters Boat building company, a business officially accepted by the U.S. Coast guard as a recreational boat manufacturer.
