This is the story of Dawn Trader, a Tradewind 35 built in Manchester, England in 1993. Her original owner-builder, Mr. Farr sailed her around the Mediteranean Sea with his wife before selling her to a short term owner. Dawn Trader then came into the capable hands of Mr. Derek Beckman. Captain Derek sailed her across the big pond with a lady friend to the Caribbean. Eventually Derek and Dawn Trader ended up in Morehead City, North Carolina sans his female crew. As often happens to lonely sea captains, Derek was captivated by one of North Carolina's lovely ladies and swallowed the anchor. We really begin this part of Dawn Trader's history with Derek and Karen sadly parting with DT to the great joy of her new owner Ron Hyman.
