Captain David Abramski reports that with a slower than usual Caribbean charter season, he has been busy working hard on BANDERA:

BANDERA has always been maintained to a very high standard, and last summer the owner had several new sails built as well as extensive electronics upgrades in order to ready BANDERA for the 2008 Newport to Bermuda race where she placed first in her class! __________________________________________________________________________________________
