The catamaran lifts off the wake and the harbor opens like a map under wind and spray. Sunlight skitters across the water as the bowsprit net hums underfoot — a place to stretch out, feel the sails fill, and watch harbor life angle past: seabirds diving, sea lions barking on a buoy, and the downtown skyline sliding slowly by.

Protect against sun and spray
