This blog is devoted to my John Welsford designed 15' Navigator yawl Ellie. I built her in my garage over a period of 18 months and launched her in 2011. She sports a sliding gunter main, roller furled jib and sprit-boomed mizzen. Her construction is glued-lapstrake over permanent bulkheads and stringers. This blog is a record of her construction and her voyages here in the Puget Sound area and (hopefully) a useful resource for fellow Navigator builders.

A New Navigator Launched

Congratulations to Wayne and Maria Johnson, and their children Patrick, Elaina, Gabriel and Blaise on the latest addition to the family, their newly launched Navigator "Good Enough" which looks far  more than "Good Enough" to my eye!  And Wayne, what could make for a better 30th birthday present than a picture perfect day to enjoy their first sail aboard their beautiful new craft!  Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us on your blog, and here is wishing you and your family many exciting adventures to come!
