We also met AO and his wife in Trinidad in '99. I think Polaris Jack was built in the Carolinas somewhere. He is indeed a real character and I hope someone will pass on a hello to him from Waxwing.

Hi Kate-
FYI he goes by AO- a very interesting person. We met
him and his wife in Trinidad while we were cruising .
. . i also seem to recall that is isn;t exactly a
falmouth - it's a 26 footer of a strange background.
That's great news - we have been trying to get in
touch with him for a long while!
We'll do our best to be there . . .
