This is the boat that got me started on boats. She's a 90' Alden Schooner that I crewed on in my summers 1965 and 66. The Salee was built in Boothbay Maine in 1927.


Then I owned Kahili from 1976 to 1993. She is a Lapworth designed 1971 Cal 33, hull #3. I sailed her down the west coast of Baja, into the Sea of Cortez then mainland Mexico 76-spring 77, then across to Hawaii from Mazatlan. I ran her as a charter boat on week long interislan cruises from 77 to 81, then took a year off to sail her down to Tahiti and all around the Society Islands and Tuamotos, then day chartered her from 82 till I sold her in 93.

Here she is in her home slip in Manele Bay, Lanai, Hawaii...



This is the Devlin designs "Cackler" duck boat I built from Devlin's plans, Okume plywood, fiberglass and epoxy resin...


I also have a Slide-Rite driftboat and 18' Kevlar Winona Canoe.

Here's the Slide-Rite...


I love boats!
