After creating a successful and innovative subsea pipeline company, John Lincoln needed something new to keep him busy, so he decided to pursue another dream he’d always had—to design a catamaran motor sailor.

Borneo, Indonesia would be the place. He had many employees there, spent his downtime in the area, could build for a fraction of the cost as elsewhere, and had connections to friendly firms that were good at constructing steel barges. The reader will follow Lincoln and his son as they do a few sketches and get a quote. Working part time on it when they had few other obligations, it took seven years to complete, and with the latest in marine navigation systems, they sailed to Singapore over two weeks. Once there, the catamaran was loaded on a freighter and transported over five months to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where it shocked the world.

After her construction and travels, her ups and downs, her mechanical struggles, learn her fate as she faces her fiercest obstacle in Story of Borneo Princess and Hurricane Irma.
