my dad and I have a passion for sailing. father & son sailing, our humble little operation - based in annapolis, md, and stockholm, sweden - exists to share this passion, through instruction, demonstration and andy’s writing. we also specialize in synthetic rigging solutions, and are a distributor for colligo marine, the engineers behind the rigging. we’re different because we’re motivated by simple enthusiasm, not business or money. we’ve found that others share our sailing philosophy... namely that of adventure, tradition, simplicity and real sailing, learned through real experience. check out our website, read andy’s writing, and come join us for some proper adventure on the high seas.

travels in foreign countries - andy’s book

order a copy of my first book, and support my trans-atlantic aspirations on arcturus! the book is a compilation of my journals, written at the time of my travels, from a first-person perspective. they are presented in unedited form, providing a window into my soul, for better or worse. volume one recollects the time surrounding my winter in scandinavia, including my time in central europe and ireland. this book represents a life-goal of mine, and i hope there will be many more to come. to order a copy, email me or call me. all the proceeds from this book will go directly into our “charts & books” fund for the trans-atlantic, which we’ve delayed to the summer of 2011 to give us more time to prep arcturus. thanks in advance.
