The craft carrying us around the Salish Sea
JD Crow
38′ Atkin Ingrid (1986) | Mothership
Built in British Columbia by a fisherman mostly using incredible, salvaged local red & yellow cedar and fir. My submission for Best Covid Project.
Sails good looks good lives good.
June
12.5′ Unidentified Dinghy (Presumed Ranger SuperMinto?) | Dinghy/Daysailer
Another delightful craigslist find, June is named for the intrepid June Burn, another early 20th-century San Juan author/hero. Has all the qualities of the little Minto, plus more everything.
Sweetpea
8′ Lug-rigged Ranger Minto | Dinghy/Daysailer
A delightful craigslist find, Sweetpea might be our favorite Minto (don’t tell the other 3 at home though).
Grasshopper
20′ Brown Motorcat (2003) | Escape Pod
Built as a back-of-the-napkin experiment with found parts by multihull mage Russell Brown, Grasshopper has mostly been a high-efficiency commuter and a camp-cruiser. Now serving as a dinghy/inlet raider, towing GH slows the Crow down less than our Ranger Minto.
Raven
29′ Alden Motorsailer (1933) | The Dream
A simple classic converted to a liveaboard by one of the premier small-boat enthusiasts/catalysts out there. A Dream Boat if there ever was one.
Clover
26′ Bingham Cutter | The Solo Cruiser
It usually pays to meet the person on the coolest boat in the harbor, and Martin and Clover were no exception. Have you dreamt about this yet?
