The Art of Loving and Caring for Wooden Boats Book

There is something beautiful and nostalgic about wooden boats—polished works of art that remind us of an era when everything was crafted by hand.

Our founder, Tracie, owns her very own 36-foot antique wooden sloop, spending countless hours sailing and varnishing on her.

Beautiful as they are, these boats demand patience and care. This book invites readers aboard—sharing adventures on calm waters, the art of restoration, and practical tips for preserving wooden boats. Whether for a sailor, restorer, or simply a dreamer, it’s both an inspiring read and a thoughtful gift.
