After four years of boatwork, we have untied the lines and realized the dream of cruising the world. Julia is a wooden Atkin Ingrid ketch, traditionally built in 1960. Her recent voyage began in 2021, in Seattle, Washington, and has included sailing south along the US west coast to Mexico, and west across the Pacific Ocean. She was made for the seas, and has continued to show us that sailing on a wooden boat has been worth all the effort to make it happen. Thanks for following along as we share film from our adventures. Cheers, Jonathan & Whitney FAQ: Q: what is the design of Julia? A: Julia is an Ingrid, designed by William Atkin. Q: what design is the tender? A: Julia's sailing and rowing tender was built to the Annabelle design by Dave Gentry. It is skin on frame construction. Q: what is the wind vane design? A: the wind vane was constructed from wood, based on plans in the book, Wind-Vane Self-Steering, by Bill Belcher. Q: what is the vessel's length on deck? A: 37.5'
