Long-Distance Cruising Articles

Constructed with tenacity for uninterruptible voyages across the vastness of the ocean, the Wind Horse stands as a testament to the wonders of maritime engineering. Proud owners, Steve and Linda Dashew, pushed the envelope on what was possible for a cruising boat. With an admirable 37,000 nautical miles notched in the first four years of her life, Wind Horse is no ordinary 83ft aluminum yacht. This impressive vessel was meticulously designed by the Dashew couple for continuous, all-conditions cruising.

Far from their first maritime exploit, the couple’s experience stems from an enchanting six-year sabbatical navigating the globe on multiple sailboats. Trading the classroom for the water, they homeschooled their children, instilling a deep-seated love for the open sea. Their wealth of experience converged in the creation of Wind Horse, their first motorboat.
