Thanks for coming aboard. This is my simple sailing blog. I’ve been a sailor since I was two weeks old, and editor of both national and regional boating publications, a web site guy, and now a broker with Swiftsure Yachts. 
My goal for sailish.com is to have a place to promote my favorite pastime in my favorite place. Racing was certainly my passion, as it is for many others. I cannot stop myself from posting about that. Cruising is especially important to me now, as most of the boats I’m brokering are serious cruisers. But perhaps the most important aspect of sailing is junior sailing. Yes, it will create a new generation of sailors, but just as importantly, it’s a really healthy thing for kids to do other than look at a screen.
I’m fortunate to have help. Bruce Hedrick provides a weather outlook most Friday afternoons or evenings. CSR Marine and West Coast Sailing provide content and monetary support. Jan Anderson graciously lets me use her photos and her boat boy (driver!!), Skip, often provides insight into what is actually happening on the water.
Comments will always be encouraged, and feel free to post them as positive discussion is one of the engines that drives this sport
If you want to contribute your thoughts on the process, email me at kurt@meadowpointpub.com or call me at 206 335 8776. I’d love some help creating something different for Northwest sailors.
