CURIOSITY 2 will be the first of her kind and is still being built. So, in the meantime, we’re going to be living aboard a few different performance sailboats to expand our sailing experience and soak up some knowledge from our fellow world cruising sailors.

And we are starting at the top because we have moved aboard the big sister of our future boat. It’s an HH55 named Ticket To Ride and it is the most impressive, comfortable, performance catamaran we have ever sailed!

The owners, Frank and Mary Grace, have racked up nearly 30,000 nautical miles in less than 4 years on this vessel. They have had this boat flying a hull at 28 knots of speed (because it’s that high caliber of a race boat) but they are cruisers at heart, not racers. They are fellow Texans, have been following our journey, and reached out the moment they heard we were looking to up our sailing game. It was a dreamy invitation we instantly said YES to. And here we are!

⛵Ticket To Ride

Mary Grace and Frank keep a blog of their travels aboard TTR if you want to learn more about them, their vessel, and where they have been (hello Alaska!). I know you didn’t get to know a lot about them in this episode because we focused mostly on Ticket To Ride (she is a show stopper)…but stay tuned because they are the salt of the earth. The kind of sailors that you want to share an anchorage, an adventure, a meal, and many many sunsets with.
