I met these folks in the San Juans in the summer of 2021 as they were just about to head south after restoring their 1961 Atkin Ingrid ketch, JULIA G, a predecessor of my own boat as homebuilt Ingrids from Desolation Sound. The owners were sweet people on the cusp of the adventure of a lifetime with a very impressive boat; they’d learned to cast bronze, sew sails and canvas, and do all kids of woodwork over 4 years in Seattle, chasing a dream that they’re now living.

Thanks for posting this Nate. I met Jon and Whitney a few years ago not too long after they acquired Julia and were impressed with the work they did to upgrade the boat. I have been following their journey as documented on the WBF but hadn’t see the videos. Great stuff!
