The North Star (just in time for Christmas)

I just got an email from Jeremy and Colleen Dagold. The North Star is another great sailboat arriving at Sawmill Point - all 41' feet of her.

And Colleen's and Jeremy's story is even more exciting. Colleen hails from the old whaling port of Fairhaven, MA and grew up sailing on Buzzards Bay. She moved to Washington DC, after graduating from Brown University, where she met Jeremy while teaching inner-city kids on a boat. Most recently she was doing development work for a non-profit in New Haven, CT.

Jeremy is from Baltimore, MD and attended St. Mary's College of Maryland. He has been working on tall ships and traditional boats for 12 years and most recently was the Captain of a 91' Tall Ship in New Haven, CT.

I can't wait to see the North Star, and meet Jeremy and Colleen in person. This trio sound like a winning team with a lot of fantastic stories to tell. Welcome North Star!
