Just like Nat would do it

I learned sailmaking under the mentorship of master sailmaker Nat Wilson.

 

After an Ocean Classroom semester aboard the schooner Harvey Gamage in 2015, I came to the loft as a work study student from Boothbay Regional High School.

 

While working for Nat, I worked on sails ranging from sailing dinghies to racing yachts and ships.

 

He has taught me everything I know. I continue to build sails to the highest degree, with a close eye for detail.

 

I am proud to continue his work and preserve the time proven methods of sailmaking he learned over 50 years ago.
