Named for the 1947 milestone film produced by U.S. actor John Wayne, Angel and the Badman II is indeed settling things out there on the high seas with winning materials, a crew, and a winning attitude. The 48-foot, semi-custom flybridge, sportfishing yacht is the 2007 overall winner of the world’s richest marlin fishing tournament (Bisbee’s Black & Blue). In addition, Angel’s young, emerging captain and owner – an internationally recognized medical industry executive, also earned the first place championship in the tournament’s 2007 golf competition held during the week.
