Subject: [worldcruising] ocean crossing by container

Hello all,
I am looking for data on an american yacht architect who has specialized on
"container fittable" boats.
He sailed around the world, but he did the ocean crossings by putting
his boat in a container and sending it over by freight cargo. His boat whas
so designed as to be as big as possible but still fitting into a cargo: he
used dutch style side-mounted daggerboards, a shortened mast (gaf rig ?),
etc..
I think he eventually crossed the Atlantic east-ward, for I think I saw the
(or such a) boat in Acores back in june 1995.
Any information on the guy and his boats is welcome.
