Special thanks to my new friends Karl and Jess Kruger. I would sail to New Orleans anytime. |
Tomahawk is an exceptional sailing vessel.
In every way she embodies the passion and soul of the sport, allowing
our guests to experience performance yacht design at its best. The wind
and water are truly
Tomahawk's elements, with her design allowing high speeds and superb handling characteristics.
Tomahawk's decks are spacious and dedicated
to the business of sailing. Under sail, guests will experience the
fantastic visibility offered by her clear decks and cockpits.
