Exciting time of year with many consultation clients around the world having offers accepted, surveys, repairs and outfiting completed. It's partly the time of year, but prices on quality offshore capable cruising boats have firmed up. Contact me if I can help you find the best boat for your cruising adventures!

145' of waterline and effortlessly broad reaching at hull speed in Force 6 winds across the Wadden Zee under just staysail and mainsail. Life is grand!

Päivi and I at the launching party in Enkhuizen, Netherlands for previous expedition member and consultation client Ed, shoreside of his very impressive aluminum Puffin 42. We were joined by expedition member and dockmates Todd and Jeanette. What a fun surprise meeting!

I just met Todd and Jeanette, former consultation clients and expedition member (Todd) totally by chance this morning in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. Last time I saw them was in Seattle, a year ago when they were selling everything and heading to The Netherlands to complete survey and purchase of a Hallberg-Rassy 48. Since then they've replaced rigging and are nearly ready to set sail north to Germany, Denmark and Sweden!
