The psychology and biology behind boating, sailing, and life near the horizon Ask almost anyone who spends time on the water—whether they sail, fish, paddle, or cruise—and you will hear the same thing. The moment the boat clears the harbor or the kayak leaves the shoreline, something shifts.

New Listing — TUATARA | Little Harbor 63

There are cruising boats… and then there are Little Harbors.

I’m pleased to present TUATARA, a beautifully maintained 1983 Little Harbor 63 designed by Ted Hood. With over $600,000 invested in refit and upgrades, she represents a rare opportunity to own one of the great bluewater cruising yachts ever built.

This is the kind of boat serious sailors dream about — elegant lines, true offshore capability, and the timeless craftsmanship Little Harbor is known for.

Highlights
• 69'11" LOA Little Harbor / Ted Hood design
• Over $600k invested in refit
• Proven long-range cruising platform
• Twin Perkins engines
• 3 guest cabins
• Currently located in Cancún, Mexico

Asking $800,000

If you have been looking for a serious offshore cruiser with pedigree, TUATARA deserves your attention.

I wrote a book.

It’s called Chasing Magic: The 2025 Valhalla Sailing Season.

This one means a lot to me.

It follows a full racing season with an all-veteran crew — from windy spring regattas in Annapolis to the J/30 North Americans in New Orleans. We nearly won early. We broke things. We rebuilt. We learned to trust each other under pressure.

By the end of the season, we finished third overall at the North Americans.

But the result isn’t the real story.

The real story is how repetition, responsibility, and competition change people. How a crew forms. How confidence grows quietly. How structure and purpose matter more than speeches ever could.

Every sailor on that boat lives with a disability. No special framing. Just roles, standards, and work.

Proceeds from the book support the Valhalla Sailing Project and its veteran sailing programs.

I’m proud of this one.

CHASING MAGIC: CREW, COMPETITION, AND WHAT COMES BACK ON THE WATER

22/02/2026

There’s something that happens when you step offshore.

The noise drops.

Not just traffic and notifications — but the internal noise too.

The horizon opens.
Wind replaces engines.
Movement becomes rhythmic instead of chaotic.

Modern life compresses us. Constant stimulation. Artificial light. Fragmented attention.

Water does the opposite.

Research increasingly suggests that time near water is associated with improved well-being and cognitive clarity. But you don’t need research to feel it. You notice it the first time you look up and see nothing but sky and sea.

It’s not about luxury.

It’s about environment.

Not all boats deliver the same experience. Some isolate you from the water. Others position you within it — where you feel wind shifts, watch the horizon, and move with rhythm instead of noise.

For me, yacht ownership isn’t about acquisition.

It’s about designing exposure to something our nervous systems actually recognize.

Space.
Rhythm.
Clarity.

If you’ve ever wondered why you think more clearly offshore — that’s not accidental.

It’s architecture.

There’s something that happens when you step offshore.

The noise drops.

Not just the external noise — traffic, notifications, artificial light — but the internal noise too.

Out on the water, your field of vision expands. The horizon opens. Wind replaces engines. Movement becomes rhythmic instead of chaotic.

It’s not escape.

It’s a different kind of architecture.

Modern life compresses us. Constant stimulation. Fragmented attention. Artificial environments. We operate under sustained pressure without realizing how little true recovery we allow ourselves.

Time near water changes that.

Research increasingly shows that natural environments — especially those centered around water — are associated with improved well-being and cognitive recovery. But you don’t need a study to feel it.

You feel it the first time you look up and see nothing but sky and sea.

For me, yachts aren’t just about ownership.

They’re platforms for exposure to something our nervous systems actually recognize.

Space. Rhythm. Clarity.

And not all boats deliver the same experience. Some isolate you from the environment. Others position you within it.

If you’ve ever wondered why you think more clearly offshore — that’s not accidental.

It’s design.
