Let our 40 years of well rounded experience make your yacht experience spectacular!

Yacht Services

One thing leads to another and then in the blink of an eye, 30 years later, one has a lifetime of experience in his/her field and desires to share with others hard lessons learned.  I started working in boat yards in 1981, and later in 1990 as a small daysail charter captain and it became my passion.  It was a passion that lead years of racing and teaching sailboat racing in Annapolis; years of professional private and charter yacht work in Tortola; owning a Sail Loft and eventually my own boat building company.  The services listed are things that I offer to others as a consultant, project manager, or to do in my own shop or on your yacht wherever it may live.  I love to mix it up with some work time on the water and some in the shop or drawing board.  If you have a need for some expertise with a boat project, feel free to call me to discuss.
