 Hands
Across the Sea, a Dolphin 460, is our ocean-crossing vehicle
for delivering charitable assistance. Built by Dolphin
Catamarans and sold by The
Multihull Company, the boat is ideal for transporting
supplies and serving as a base from which volunteer professionals
can carry out their work ashore. The boat's fast ocean-crossing
capabilities, coupled with a large cargo-carrying capacity,
helps us get supplies to remote places. The radio and satcom
equipment onboard Hands will allow us to help keep
volunteer professionals in touch with "home" while
they are working Hands-on. Dolphin Catamarans has made a number
of sailhandling and interior layout modifications so that
the boat will better serve Hands Across the Sea's purposes.
