On a calm, beautiful morning, Port Townsend came out to see Oliver and Phoenix Do Mar off from Point Hudson. As she motored out to begin her circumnavigation, a cheer went up from the crowd. Thank you to everyone who gathered on the water and the shore to give them a proper send-off!

After months of preparation, it was a special moment to watch the boat our shipwrights helped get offshore ready (stainless tower, solar, Hydrovane self-steering, fuel tank, canvas and more) head out toward the open ocean. Thanks again to our friends at for being such a great team to work alongside.

I just love the versatility of our craft and the diversity of our clients.

Last winter's re-rig of the 60' catamaran Nesi in a remote corner of the Indian Ocean. As Matt said, "If you have to zoom in multiple times on Google Earth to find the country, it may not be the best place to refit a sailboat." But despite a couple obstacles, we got the job done.
