I thought it would be fun to overlay the three Flicka 20 Pacific Voyages that I know about. Sampaguita, captained and crewed by myself, left Port Townsend, WA on August 22, 2023, and returned to Port Townsend, WA on July 8, 2024. We sailed down the North American West Coast to La Paz, Mexico, and then to the Marquesas. From the Marquesas, we sailed non-stop to Port Townsend, WA via Hawaii. Kawabunga!,… Read More

Here’s a Google Earth rendition of the trip created by a fellow Flicka 20 fan (and record keeper?).

This Pacific Seacraft Corporation of California promotional material was reprinted from Sea magazine, published September 1989, and written by Peter Bohr.
