- Biography
- Boat building, repair, renovation, maintenance, and the installation of all marine systems, has been both vocation and avocation for the last 45 years. I am now a consultant and author as well... Besides dozens of small boat projects, my three personal "cruising boat" projects were a 23' Wharram cat, a Seaclipper 28' tri, and our current 34' Searunner tri, Delphys. Together, these three boats took 21 years to build, and two of these were single handed projects... When not in work mode, I was a full time "liveaboard / cruiser" for over 15 years. We now cruise when ever we can.
Besides hundreds of local cruises and daysails, my wife and I have covered the US Gulf coast, with 4 Gulf crossings, numerous Keys & Bahamas trips, numerous transits of the the US East Coast, all over the Chesapeake, and both sides of the Caribbean, From the source rivers of the Rio Dulce in Guatemala, to as far down island as Trinidad. Still hoping for more!
