Ah, the life of a liveaboard Sailor…on a Classic Wooden Sailing Yacht… as of August 1st, 2024 we are undergoing extensive repair and refit and will be for several months(!). In boating terms we are hauled out “on the hard” in Cambridge, Maryland.
I plan to mix Sailing Stories with the challenges and intricacies of restoring a 90-year-old boat. I’m always open to suggestions as to content….please feel free to weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you. J
A Wooden boat is a complex and unique entity all its own. Thankfully
