The first boats produced were flat-bottomed wooden row boats, which provided a solid foundation to keep his vision and the company alive. It didn't take him long to launch himself into race boat production. He made sure to deliver the best hulls, sails, spars and accessories to ensure that his customers stayed on the cutting edge of competition.

Every boat is manufactured utilizing a forward thinking approach that supports each design. Ultimately this approach makes the boats easy to rig, sail and trailer with a fun factor that is flat-out addictive.
