About Us

About Us

What is there to say?  We both love to sail, love boats, love boat people, and love dogs.  We both, more or less, have a lifetime of sailing, including dinghies, sunfish, a couple of small (local) trophies, a few trans-Atlantics, a trans-Pacific, and countless trips to Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Maine, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean.  

We got married in 1997 in Newport, dockside, with our (then) two boats tied alongside.  Every year since we have taken at least six weeks to cruise up the coast of Maine and into Canada with our scotty Smart Alec on our little Esmeralde, the Able Whistler 32 we just traded in to build the Sabre 386.  Thanks to good and generous friends we have also made a couple of Bermuda races and a few fall/spring runs between New England and the Bahamas.

 

 

With our new Sabre, also named ESMERALDE, we expect to extend our range, do a Bermuda race or two, and hopefully (business permitting) spend some time in warmer waters during the winter months. 

 

 

See you on the water!

 

Bruce, Dorsey and Smart Alec.
