The Perry 60 ‘MARLIN’ underwent a thorough refit at our shipyard in 2024. Designed by Robert Perry and built in aluminium by Yachtbouw Folmer in 2008, the Perry 60 ‘MARLIN’ is a robust aft cockpit pilot saloon cutter, created for the most challenging blue water expeditions. From the icy waters of Antarctica to the tropical Pacific, MARLIN has proven her strength and versatility. After covering over 60,000 miles, her current owners entrusted us with a comprehensive refit at KM Yachtbuilders. In 2024, MARLIN emerged with an extended keel, a sandblasted hull, a fully refitted deck and mast, and updated navigation systems. We also modernized the interior with upgrades including a stainless steel countertop, new ceilings, and floors, while adding solar panels for improved energy efficiency.

In a remote village near where my boat Wahine is moored in Amami, a weathered stone has long been part of a local coming-of-age ritual. At first glance, it seems ordinary. But the longer I study longevity and community in Japan, the more convinced I become that healthy societies are built when generations remain connected through shared rituals, expectations, and belonging. This Short accompanies a longer Field Note exploring rites of passage, intergenerational life, and what aging well may really require. Read the full article here: https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/post/lifting-the-stone About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Through Japan Solo Field Notes, I explore aging, place, and community across Japan. #Japan #Longevity #Community #Aging #JapanSolo #HealthyAging #VillageLife #LifeLessons #JapaneseCulture #RitesOfPassage
