Raicilla is one of forty two FastPassage 39 sailboats. She’s designed by Bill Garden and was built in Sidney, British Columbia in 1979. She’s a kit boat, meaning the hull was built by Philbrooks but the interior was owner finished. As a result, she’s a little more unique from the rest of the fleet.  We’ve come to find out the the original owner purposely built out a more spartan interior for a lighter finish. She’s the only sloop in the fleet with a shorter mast and boom than the others. For us, she’s the perfect liveaboard for our cruising adventures.
