Welcome to my web-site.

Almost all of this site is dedicated to our Islander 32 sailboat and the restoration of her.

Below the whale (that came right at me and then dove under our boat) you will find 'buttons' for;  HOME   BLOG   PAGES   ABOUT ME   VIDEOS

HOME is where you are now.  BLOG is just that, a weB-LOG.  Click on PAGES and this is where you will find the refit cronicles.  ABOUT ME is a little about me (...)  and VIDEOS is where you'll find some, you guessed it, videos.

If you like, click on any picture to enlarge it.  Some are bigger than others but all should enlarge.  Click anywhere but on the picture and you will return to the normal view.  The video's should work too by just clicking 'Play'.

Feel free to browse around, and leave a comment if you  like. Perhaps these pages will inspire some to tackle a project like I did, more folks will find their sanity and just buy a boat so they can go sailing.  But I had fun rebuilding and have even more fun sailing.

I hope you have fun too.

    What a nice boat! I agree with you, building my boat has been as much an adventure as what's to come. I have helped build several large boats but it's different when it is your own.

    Wow! That is such a nice restore job. I have a 32-1 made in 1965 that I dearly love. We sail out of Anacortes. Would love to see ours, but it might cost me a lot of money if I get too jealous and begin the demo process on mine! LOL

    Blessings and great sailing!

    Aloha! I've never owned a boat, but have been looking for a couple years now. I found the same boat(craigslist/honolulu) as yours, same year too! Its never been restored, so Atomic 4, wooded mast,etc. The price is low for a good reason I guess. I was thinking hard on this, and then I found your web site, and now I don't know if I can afford to own a boat like this. I was thinking.. Oh, a little paint here and there, few bucks to get the old motor running again.... I think I'm dreaming. I don't have to have the level of finish you have, I just want to drop ankor in Waikiki on the weekends.
    Anyway, good job, and I'm still thinking.
    Mahalo for sharing with all of us. JWR
