SPARRING WITH MOTHER NATURE’s latest addition. I’m very honored that you’re following along. Thank you from the bottom of my writer’s heart. The voyages of a Classic Wooden Sailing Yacht can be transformational as well as educational. Since August 2024, STEADFAST has been undergoing extensive repair and refit. In boating terminology we are hauled out “on the hard” in Cambridge, Maryland, USA. What a great place to be aground! The archives contain extensive details on what we have undertaken. My weekly posts intermingle sailing tales with the challenges, lessons, joys and intricacies of restoring 90-year-old STEADFAST.….please weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you! ~J
