A real offshore boat with a story.

Suzie Manuela is a 1972 custom steel sloop based off the Cumulant model. Built in Sweden with German steel, she is a true ocean-going vessel with several Atlantic crossings under her belt.

My girlfriend and I acquired this boat almost 2 years ago. We named her after our grandmothers, and she has been our home, pride, and joy ever since. I am on the beginning of a circumnavigation with her, and am thrilled to be able to share a small part of the adventure with you!
