This a Non Fiction book about an innovative 80 ft long steel catamaran motor sailor called the Borneo Princess that John brother Bill and son Sean designed and built in Indonesia over a 7 year period. The boat had 2 x 1000 horsepower diesel engines,was 35 ft wide, had two state rooms with bathrooms, four other cabins and a galley with frozen storage and store room The boat could sail or motor cruise in 20 ft seas from any direction and would barely roll or pitch because of the width. It was a sloop and had a 100 ft high mast. It was successfully navigated through three seas and loaded on an international transport ship in Singapore arriving Fort Lauderdale 1st of January 2017. The boat had a problem the portside stern shaft mount to the engine was the wrong way which allowed it to unwind when reversing unlike the other side which wound on. To get away from Hurricane Irma is was sailed to Cuba but the shaft parted taking the propeller with it to the ocean bottom even though a machine shop said they had fixed it well enough.
