About Our Boat

We bought a 1997 custom built Simpson 13.7M catamaran. It is cedar wood core overlayed with epoxy fiberglass. We are changing out the diesel motors to Oceanvolt electric motors and the diesel tank to Cleantron lithium batteries.

The inside is beautiful and very nice. The outside needs a makeover, but nothing that some good old elbow grease (and a good random orbital sander) won't fix!

Windows, and Sun Shades, and Ladders - Oh My!

Greetings all - We've gotten some things done this week and some not.  But that's life sometimes, right?

Back for the Boat Show!

This is one of my favorite times of year - the United States Sailboat show in Annapolis.  I love going to the boat show.  So much to learn, see, do, and, of course, buy - LOL.  We aren't really planning on buying much this year, but I have a ton of questions for the Sailrite  (Tent D) people about sewing a screened enclosure and making cockpit cushions.  We need to check into dinghies, running and standing rigging, generators, and galley equipment besides.   I also love meeting up with people we've become friends with and making new friends along the way.  This year a friend I have worked with and his wife will be attending so I'm looking forward to hanging out with them.  It's always fun to turn the corner and see someone that we watch sailing on YouTube.  Last year we met quite a few.  We'll see how this year goes.   This year also marks the third anniversary of the first time we saw the boat we now own.  The first ...
