For example, here’s Tom at the helm of his J/46 BRAVO. As he comments, “just cruising along on a beautiful Saturday up here in Maine near Casco Bay, TWS 15 kts, AWA 60, going 9.1 kts. Zero angst, just 100% blade jib and full main. Couldn’t be easier on this delightful cruising boat! We’re so loving this J/46. Great evening in Pulpit Harbor compliments of Espar heat. Best, Tom and Jane”

J/46 BRAVO Cruising Maine Islands!
(Casco Bay, Maine)- The J/46 BRAVO has been sailing in Maine during the beautiful fall season.
As many long-distance and day sailors know, once Labor Day hits in
Europe and in the Americas, some of the world’s best cruising grounds
are literally devoid of all forms of tourists and “outsiders”. As both a
long-distance cruiser and a bit of a “local” in those parts Downeast in
Maine, Tom Babbit from Portland, Maine can often pick his days for a
lovely cruise on any given day or weekend.
For example, here’s Tom at the helm of his J/46 BRAVO. As he comments, “just cruising along on a beautiful Saturday up here in Maine near Casco Bay, TWS 15 kts, AWA 60, going 9.1 kts. Zero angst, just 100% blade jib and full main. Couldn’t be easier on this delightful cruising boat! We’re so loving this J/46. Great evening in Pulpit Harbor compliments of Espar heat.
