major event in the small circle of Vietnamese recreational boating people. The christening of the 30 feet catamaran Veronique, locally built here after James Wharram’s TIKI 30′ design. Gathering in, last Saturday late afternoon party were various men and women from different traits of life: boat designers, boat builders, professional or amateur skippers and sailors from the smallest type of boat (that is me, a… kayaker 😀) to the biggest… Such friendly, warm and fascinating meeting moments!
