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!
