Click on the images for a larger view. It was a dreary day in the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Here we were aloft at the desirable Baltimore Marine Center Lighthouse Point. Our FREE rigging safety inspections are becoming quite popular. This was a Beneteau 473, a tall mast that offers a nice view. Thanks for checking out…
A beautiful tucked away spot in one of Annapolis’ many waterfront hiding spots. Any guesses where this might be? (click the image for a larger view) We conducted a rigging survey on a Catalina 36. Look there is my puppy dog Sidney, wondering ‘what in god’s green earth’ am I doing up there. ……and hey there’s Sean, Hi Sean ;-0)…

I love the enclosed helm with the large windows. A truly gorgeous yacht!
It is the time of year for rig inspections. Here, we are aloft in the beautiful Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Maryland. This trip aloft was courtesy of a Lewmar Electric Winch, what more could you ask for, going up!? On second thought, we could have used a bit more sunshine, but “beggars can’t be choosers.”…

An informative video answering some of the questions many of us have. One of them is how can the boat go towards the wind? Brought to you by some science folks over at KQED’s YouTube feed. A good find indeed. Enjoy….. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqwb4HIrORM&w=560&h=315]
