What’s the best thing about owning your own boatyard?
Well, I’ll pick two things. To see something in your mind—like the cabin of a boat—and then have it brought to life by really talented people who can make it better than you pictured it, because they bring their thoughts and creativity and talents to it. That’s really gratifying.
The other best part is getting to sail on spectacular boats that I couldn’t afford to own, but that I get to enjoy thanks to the generosity of some of my customers.
A lot of people fantasize about buying a boat when they retire. What does a boatbuilder fantasize about doing in retirement?
That’s a great question. Travel is very important to Gwen and me, and there are a lot of places we want to go that you can’t get to by boat. [Laughs.]
