Welcome to the Neighborhood

Bill Van Vlack and Stephanie Kavanaugh have brought the doings of their Seaborn sloop Nautilus to the blogosphere. You can find them at svnautilus.blogspot.com. Nautilus is close kin to Mistral, built two years later, in 1941, at the Blanchard yard and just four feet longer. Bill has Nautilus hauled out on Guemes Island and plans to document an ongoing refit for all to see.

On the 40th Day, Mistral Sailed

Sail No. 9030 got to run through a few paces this Sunday in a rare winter moment of open sky, no rain and just a touch of wind.
