Origin of the name

Origin of the name
The name of our sailboat is Karen's nickname, not a car company! It's inspired by her favorite novel "The Count of Monte Cristo," by Alexandre Dumas. In the story, Mercedes is the beloved fiancee of sailor Edmond Dantes, who is imprisoned in Chateau D'If through treachery. He escapes, embarks on a mission of revenge, finds compassion, and ultimately reunites with Mercedes.
