Come About!




Tip-n-Tac's foresail - (My dad's name is J. Bond - aka - 007) He built this cruising sail vessel  from scratch over two decades ago. The full-hull keel was cast by my dad and his colleagues. They smelted the metals, made the "in-ground" frame, and poured the keel. Tip-n-Tac was granted an "Ocean Ready" rating by the U.S. Coast Guard.  




Preparing to launch Tip-n-Tac - Permission to come aboard, Captain?


007 Himself - Yes, he has a bit of character!  Arg! 


My dad's shipmate - Joan Bond (my mother)

 McKenzie - Our eldest granddaughter at Tip-n-Tac's helm



It's time to come about, McKenzie!  (After you figure out which way the wind is blowing)! 

Enjoy!
