This one is dedicated to my good friend Steve at Arwen's Meanderings. Here's wishing you some DECENT WEATHER this year my friend. I hope you get plenty of sailing in this summer. You earned it.
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.

Adventure is out there
Gosh it's been nearly a year since my last Blue Man Group sailing video. Sorry folks! Here you go. This is my favorite BMG tune, called Rods and Cones. Crank it up! In case you haven't guessed by now, I'm a big BMG fan. Can't wait to see their new show.
