World Champions
Four years ago was a very special time for Carol and Kim with their Snipe career. So I thought is appropriate to repost my thoughts on that regatta. There are defining moments in life and this past week was one of those special moments. I had the honor to coach, and see my two favorite sailors win the Snipe Women’s World Championship. Carol Cronin and Kim Couranz who have been together as a team in the Snipe for eight years. Prior to that I also had the honor of coaching them in the Yngling. Carol and Kim personify to me…

Contender 28 & 30 Video Reviews
Here are a couple great boat reviews with Lenny Rudow on camera. It is nice to bring back some of the video boat reviews that have been on my site, since few might do the deep dive to find them. So while I sit on the beautiful porch in the hills of Maine over looking the ocean with the hummingbirds ruling the local airwaves, I will highlight two more fun ones. We shot these on a very hot day in Sarasota Florida. Lenny could not be happier since these are fishing machines. Enjoy the rides. If you are looking for…

Wakeboard/Wake Surfing
This was a very hot day (105 F) in Texas when we shot these videos. So I thought it would be appropriate since the country has been under a heat wave for weeks. Watch the videos and hopefully it cools you off a bit. If you need to hire a director, camera operator, photographer, editor who knows boats. I am your guy, with access to a team of top producers, and on screen talent, lets talk. The two videos where shot for Tige boats who manufacture top of the line wake boats. These where to highlight the Tige RZ4 and…

Trailer Launching and Fishing Reels
Time to showcase some cool videos I have directed, shot, and edited. Welcome to Lenny Rudow one of the best, if not the best person I have filmed on camera. Lenny just gets it, and has been so much fun to work with over the years. We have traveled Europe, and most of the US as a team filming boats and everything to do with boats. The first video is part of a RAM Trucks series we did for a week long shoot. This is as the title says Trailering, Launching, and Retrieving a Boat on Sand and Mud, plus…

With the great feed back from multiple repeat, and new customers who love my waves I am adding more options. So I have started to go through my huge drive that has my wave files.

You will also see a few new sailing shot taken in last years TransPac race 200 miles from the finish photographs in the store. The store will keep growing and if you do…

Thank you to all the great people who visited my booth this past weekend. It was fun to meet all of you, and have so many wonderful conversations.

Summer Time 2022
With the crazy/scary world we live in it is important to get out and have some fun. I prefer to shut off the phone and get out on the water. Time enjoy your summer and have some fun with family and friends. There has been a lot going on in West Ferry. All the boats are in the water with a new one on the old Kincora mooring. Yes, hold your breath, a 1982 Nauset 27 Down East lobster/tuna/bass boat. No we don’t fish. But we do SUP and Wingfoil, and this is a perfect platform for going to new…
