This was a terrific cruise, and a far more unique experience than a crowded motor excursion boat. I'm a sailor, so it was interesting to watch how Captain Ray and her crew handled a 105' traditional gaff-rigged schooner that, to my surprise, is only 12 years old!
The views were unsurpassed - you get 360 degrees on a sailboat - in comparison to most motor yachts. Winds were light, so we motorsailed down to the Statue, with a very crowded harbor in front. This was expected on a weekend day. But what wasn't expected was suddenly being swarmed by a fleet of cigarette boats - at full speed! - passing in front and behind us as they headed up the Hudson. Captain Ray handled it with assurance; I think maybe she dropped the (electric) propulsion into idle for a bit.
Drinks and a friendly crew rounded out the experience. WELL worth the price; a steal actually.
I wished for more wind, but of course we're at the whims of our schedules and mother nature's schedule. There's a terrific photo of America 2.0 on a solid heel in a fresh breeze on the company website below. Looks marvelous!
