George Kapllani has entered his Catalina 400, Swift, in the cruising class. We’ll have to wait and see if Swift lives up to her name, but she certainly appears to be comfortable with more creature comforts than some. Comfort paired with the motoring allowance in the cruising class could make this a pretty desirable ride. It’s easy to see why Swift has attracted an experienced crew consisting of a Canadian, an Aussie, a New Yorker and a North Carolinian. This well-travelled group has built their combined 35 years of sailing experience in the Great Lakes, the East Coast, the Aegean, the Bahamas and of course Portland. Welcome to the Offshore Swift!
