Among us are four former yacht captains, an MBA, a Merchant Mariner and an engineer/yacht designer. We have collectively logged hundreds of thousands of miles on various yachts, gaining important experience and vision along the way.

3 A Few Examples of Adventures Experienced by Some of Our Recent Clients, both Locally and Afar WINDWALKER crew before start Captain Dan Dan got together a friendly group of nine to do his third Newport-Bermuda Race since acquiring his Hood/Lyman-Morse 60 WINDWALKER II in The 635 mile bi-annual race was slow but steady, with limited swells allowing the boat to ghost along at 3-4 knots in 5-6 knots of breeze for hours at a time. The jovial crew enjoyed midnight ramblings, shorts at night, and an almost limitless supply of stars not visible on land before finishing exactly 4-1/2 days after the start at 3 am local time, finishing in the middle of the pack on handicap. WINDWALKER close reaching at 9 knots, 100 miles from the finish in Bermuda. Captain Dan with long-time friend Bruce laughing their way to Bermuda.

They cruised the more remote southern and western Caribbean before transiting the Panama Canal last year. They are en-route to Hilo,HI, and then plan to visit Kona and Kauai, prior to heading for Alaska...maybe Unalaska in the Aleutians or Kodiak Island to see some bears!
