In an anchorage far from fresh produce, the veggie boat’s impending arrival sets all the sailors on edge. Two cruisers discover that while it doesn’t pay to be last, a friend’s recipe can save the day. "People & Food" from our February 2012 issue.

No list of well-endowed cruising boats would be complete without including a design from Robert H. Perry. He’s given us many from which to choose, and the Passport 40 makes a fine example. I like Perry’s generous keels and robust skeg-hung rudders, and he certainly has an eye for a sweet line and a sweet-sailing hull.
Passport Yachts has spent three decades building a reputation for solid boats, and it’s still doing just that. You can’t say that about many companies that were building boats in Taiwan in the 1970s and 1980s.
