We're a couple of born and raised Midwesterners with hearts belonging to the ocean. After a decade of dreaming + planning to buy a sailboat, we found a beautiful Tartan 37 in Wisconsin, sailed for a season in the fresh water of Lake Michigan, and are migrating south via the inland river system to saltwater and warmer climates. Join us on our journey! Lauren & Kirk

It’s launch day! We’re excited to splash our trimaran, but nervous as heck, too. This is our first time stepping the huge 42’ mast ourselves. We think we’ve followed all the setup instructions, but little problems start adding up — and so do the quacks.
Hope you enjoy!
