Stuart Potts’ maritime journey began far from the sea, in the heartlands of England where his father introduced him to boating with a simple sailing dinghy kit. He nurtured this newfound passion for water and sailing through his teenage years, with a particularly defining moment arriving when he met Kay in college. With Kay, their shared love for boating grew, encapsulated in countless weekends spent preparing her parents’ old wooden motorsailer for launching. And as the motorsailer soared, so did their love for each other.
Mastering the art of sailing isn’t merely about navigating the waters or manipulating the boat’s mechanics. It’s also about understanding the nuances of sail care. From the moment new sails are purchased, a dedication to their upkeep should be paramount. This commitment to sail care clearly demonstrates itself in the boat’s overall performance, reinforcing the maxim that a well-maintained sail heralds a high-performing yacht.
