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.
