SORCERY (C&C 61)
Sorcery was rolled by a rogue wave in the North Pacific in 1976 while returning from Japan, and while she was dismasted, she survived with little other damage. On arrival in Victoria, British Columbia she was fitted with a new mast and departed immediately, competing in the Victoria to Maui Yacht Race, where she took third in class, ninth overall.
In 1989 the Lane Family (Dianne Lane, her husband Robb, and their two young children) of San Diego, California, USA purchased Sorcery. They sailed her from San Diego to Mexico, then cruised the world on her for the next six and a half years, crossing the Pacific and eventually the Indian Ocean. Their first hurricane season was spent living in New Zealand; the second in the Marshall Islands in the Central Pacific; the third in Australia; and the last one in Richards Bay in South Africa. Sorcery then returned the Lane family to the USA, at Cape Fear N.C. in 1999.
Sorcery is an integral part of the book "From Where We Sail", written by Dianne Lane.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%26C_61</ref>
