Yachtmaster instruction and technical consultant
Here is a hobby, which is more like a sub hobby of being a boat owner, that pays off twice – in fun and in cash!
Cash that will more than double your investment in restoring and repairing fine historical wooden ships – all with a minimum amount of risk. Imagine that you can build, restore and repair a sleek hulled classic sailing yacht.
If good enough isn’t good enough for you. If you care enough about details to demand the very best for your yacht, and not want to pay the high cost what it will cost.If you care enough about appearance not to be content with popped our production boat, why should you put up with popped out production sails?
Doing your own design and construction will satisfy your needs and look good and give yourself a great feeling.

Bequia Beauty - A Caribbean double-ender proves herself a Passagemaker
For months, I had been looking for an island-built day-sailer. I was in the midst of a major rebuild of TUMBLEWEED, my 50-ear-old Alden ketch, anchored in the protected lagoon of Maya Cove on the south coast of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, laminating in new sister frames, refastening, replacing. Most of the interior was torn out to get to the skeleton of the 40’ hull, leaving just Spartan living quarters.
