This boat (Angel FP 35) was perfect for our group of 9... Our captains Tom and Patrick were great—they kept us in the know and were good sports about being on a boat with a group of women who know almost nothing about sailing but wanted to learn more. This was a great experience.

Wanted to let you know Pavlush and I just finished sailing around BVI in a 40ft cat. I have attached a photo for your alumni archives.
We are very grateful to you, Mary, Jim and everyone at Afterguard for helping us achieve a dream.
