Rounding out the crew are Sarah and Alice, my furry, four legged deck hands... er, paws. :o) Ibiza is a 1979, Robert Perry designed Polaris 43. The underbody / hull is very similar to a Valiant. The main difference is the flush deck and higher freeboard that gives us significantly more interior room. Ibiza is built like a tank, weighing it at about 15 tons, gross. As we take care of her, we are sure she will take care of us. If you have a copy of Dashew's Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia, look up Sunflower. She was hull number one of the Polaris 43 and served as the plug for the mold. This is a source of never ending pain for Robert Perry as it was supposed to be a custom design for one hull, not the 6 or 7 that eventually came to be. Cruising plans on hold... updates as the they are revealed to me... |
