We are Chris + Karen, we love sailing and we love adventures! We live in Westport, MA our calling port.

Karen is the owner of two retail shops in Providence, RI for over 18 years, Queen of Hearts + Modern Love. We have a dog, his name is Brayton AKA Pepé. He loves to spend time with us on the water.
What we sail!
In 2014 we bought our first sailboat, Windrush. She was a Newport 30' sloop, Windrush! After many years and lots of memories made sailing her we decided we wanted something more spacious. In 2024 we purchased Rocksteady. She was a one-owner boat (now two) and is a Gozzard 36, overall length 42". We love her and the craftsmanship that went into building her.
