Newport Shipyard RC 44
Posted on June 24, 2010 under Sail22 News, Travel
I have to say, one of my favorite places to visit in Newport, RI is the Newport Shipyard. You never know what you’re going to find there and there are always beautiful boats to look at.
We’ve heard a lot about the Russell Coutts 44’s for awhile, but never had the chance to see the [...]

We arrived in St. Pete on Thursday afternoon and Beth met us at the airport in our [...]

Posted on January 31, 2010 under Blog, Product Review, Products, Sponsors, Travel
I had never been to the Chicago Strictly Sail show before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Chicago is a water loving community and the city has done a very nice job of making the waterfront accessible to everyone. The show in Chicago is held in Navy Pier, which is quite unlike the show [...]
