Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. - Russel Baker

Did you know that there was a 100 foot racing sailboat named Comanche attempting to break the world record by crossing the Atlantic Ocean, leaving New York headed to Britain.

They left New York on July 22nd 2016 and have been graced with excellent weather! They have already broken the 24 hour monohull distance record of 618 miles, that's an average of 25.78 knots!

The current record was set in 2003 by a boat called the Mari Cha IV, she did it in 6 days 17 hours 52 minutes and 39 seconds.

We are constantly on the lookout for new and innovative products in the boating world. If you should come across a product that you can't get in the US, but would really like it anyway, please don't hesitate to contact Alex - [email protected] or 410-925-7701.

We have a few manufacturers in our sights and are always trying to add more products to our lineup, so please keep checking back often to see what's new!

We have officially been added to the vendor list for the largest Mega-Yacht broker in the world! This means that when you order your next 155' mega-yacht, you can order your MiniCat, X-Cat, or Tiwal as an accessory!

While this isn't new, I do want to mention that our financing now covers the full purchase price of any of our boats! This means you can now buy a fully decked out X-Cat, MiniCat, Tiwal, or Takacat complete with all of the accessories with 0% down and easy payments for 6, 12, or 24 months. This is big news, now you can buy your boat and pay for it over time! Our competitors don't do this because they don't believe their products will stand the test of time, but we have 100% full confidence that we offer the best possible products on the market.

If you are in the Mid-Atlantic region and know about a race that we should enter, please let us know and we will try and fit in into our calendar, if you are interested in racing with us as crew on our boat please include that in your correspondence and we will make provisions to take you with us! No other sailboat company in the world would even think to make this kind of offer!

We have decided that our old format for demos was confusing and was hard to maintain properly. We now have a demo calendar that shows all of our events. We will be adding to this as things get scheduled.

We have already input multiple races that we plan to participate in, as well as boat shows we will be attending.

Any day that is open on the calendar is open for a scheduled private demonstration for any of our boats. We are now scheduling private demos 7 days a week for our customer's convenience.

If you see a boat show that we are planning to attend in your area, please send us a note via email as we try to stay a day or two after the show for customers that would like to demo the boat in the water before their purchase.

Check out our calendar HERE.

We are proud to have partnered with Bread Finance. Bread is a new way to pay! You can apply for financing for our boats (up to $5000). If your desired boat or cart total is more than $5000, you can finance up to $5000 and the excess is all you'd need to pay up front!

We currently offer 24 month, and 12 month standard financing, and 6 month same as cash financing!

We think this is a great way to make sure you buy what you really want and pay as you go! This new payment option will help you pay for the things you didn't expect to need when looking for a new boat, such as life jackets, electric inflation pumps, and even outboard motors!

To put this into perspective you can buy a Takacat for as little as $69 a month, or a MiniCat for as low as $204 a month!

You will see a button on each product page, or at checkout to apply!

We are still working out the best format for these newsletters. If you would like to see more or less of a certain kind of content please let me know! I like writing about sailing, and you like reading about it. Your feedback is welcome, good or bad!
