Read what some of our friends and customers have to say about how we have helped them start their sailing adventure or take the next step!

So excited that others can benefit from Joe Parker’s skills and experience, just like we have. Our organization operates two inspected passenger vessels: the 85 ft. Appledore IV and the 65 ft. Appledore V. We suddenly found ourselves with a long list of new inspections and maintenance projects that were not only expensive, but required expertise that was unknown to us. Parker to the rescue! Due to his in depth knowledge and extensive network, Joe quickly identified the resources we needed and put us on the path to success. I truly don’t think we could have done it without him. Many thanks, Joe!

Joe has an intimidating resume and decades of experience repairing, teaching, and consulting. As the head technical consultant for Gougeon Brothers, he has figured out construction problems ranging from kayaks to round the world race boats. Added to this street cred is the fact that he is a fine human being.

Joes knows his stuff. He’s been there, seen it and done most things boating/boatbuilding related. All while remain humble and helpful to anyone with an ear. You certainly helped me progress wether you knew it or not.
