17' Salish Voyager Sea Trial with the Boat Builders Who Made It ⛵

Join our boat builders for a crew sea trial of the 17' Salish Voyager! ⛵ In this video, we hoist the sail and head out right from the dock. No motor needed. Just give a gentle push off the dock, then use the shoal draft rudder and tiller to move forward and away. Swing the tiller from starboard to port and back again, and the boat works its way out into open water. Once she catches the breeze, the Salish Voyager really comes alive. She performs best in 8 to 15 knot wind, and there’s plenty of room for a crew to sail together and enjoy the day. Meet the builders on board: Aaron on the main and Beau at the helm. These are the people who build our boats by hand, out on the water putting one to the test. Interested in the 17' Salish Voyager?
