 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 ocean sailing
and serving as a base for our work ashore. 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. The radio and satcom equipment onboard Hands
allows us to keep in touch with our current charitable projects
as well as the folks back home.
