Recently we completed a a rare GEM 💎 of a Point Defiance, with some custom woodwork that we just had to capture on camera. Still photos didn't do it justice, so we took walkaround video to show it in all its glory. This boat has now sold, but we wanted to capture its jaw-dropping custom wood inlay seats for posterity. Built with extensive customizations, this sailboat features lightweight kevlar composite construction, wood trim with decorative rope bumper, deep "endeavor blue" gelcoat stripe with gold and white pinstriping, and incredible detailing on the custom wood seats. Just look at that custom "swirl" woodwork around the mast step! The 12' Point Defiance is a versatile sailing and rowing boat, very forgiving and a true pleasure to row and sail. It works well as a ship-to-shore tender, but is also a fantastic knockabout daysailer in its own right. For more about the Point Defiance, visit https://www.ghboats.com/our-boats/12-point-defiance/

Sailboat Repairs; U-Bolts Installed. As we near completion for our major sailboat repairs-our excitement mounts. These are the U-Bolts that we had specially machined, here in Anacortes to hold our mast. They extend through the chainplates to the interior of our Sceptre 41. We plan to be sailing in about two weeks towards B.C., where we will be spending 2-3 months doing our 'shakedown cruise', before heading south. For another video about our repairs, check out this one: https://youtube.com/shorts/PgbZOAb-pTE?si=Yi5U87uGQNptFqSD If you dig our journey as a new sailing couple, learning to sail, buying a Sceptre 41, getting ready to sail and launching, we would love you to follow along: Join us on our website at: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Or on our Instagram Channel: https://www.instagram.com/writerjacks/
