On Wednesday, June 8th, 2011 as the sailboat fleets made their way in from the evening races, they were glad to beat the thunderstorm that was coming in from the west. Just at dusk eye witnesses saw a lightning bolt hit a 30 ft ketch swinging on a mooring in McKinley harbor, downtown Milwaukee. " It lit up like a Christmas tree" was how one observer described the event. Within an hour the boat was under water with just portions of the masts showing. www.forespar.com #Forespar #products #sailing #whisker #pole #whiskerpole #downwind #ocean #sea #docking #power #powerboating #powerboat #sailingboat #tutorial #boating #newport #california Visit Our Website! www.forespar.com Follow us on our social media: https://www.instagram.com/foresparproducts/ https://twitter.com/ForesparSailing

We just completed our biggest boat refit ever. We removed our old Yanmar engines and replaced them with new Nanni N4.50s. We did all the work ourselves while we were still in the water, fibreglassing new engine beds and then aligning the prop shafts before connecting the electronics up to the helm. We had a bit of a scare in our first sea trial when one engine suddenly died but it’s nothing we can’t overcome so join us on the journey as we figure it out and get back to sailing to remote islands again.
