We came about our name through a series of events that set us on our right course in life.  I was working  from my desk and planning for the day that I would be free to pursue a business, a sail loft and rigging business.  I had met Jerry, the owner of Beach St. Canvas & Rigging.  He did some work aboard my sailboat.  We spoke about me joining up as a partner in my early retirement. Bobbi & I were having a hard time making the decision to strike out on our own, leaving a management position in a well-known stock brokerage firm where we served affluent, wealthy clients.  The day came, I won't say it was unexpected but down-sizings never really are, and suddenly I was free to pursue a love that I have made a career

True North is the direction you find when you remove compass error from your compass reading.  If you find the true north, then you can find your way anywhere, a world of endless possibility.  Mariners have navigated this way for generations.   Now we are on our course for providing you great services and products. 

We love sailors because we too are sailors.  We hope that you will give us a chance to serve you soon.

 Child labor laws?  BLAH!  Morgan is our daughter (left) and has grown up as a "little sailor".  Here she is putting sail numbers of a new main sail...just kidding.  Some say she's named after Charlie Morgan....ummm...stranger things have been known to happen, but I uncategorically deny it (at this time).  Alexander is our son (right) and has just said that covetted word, "Boat!"  He's on his way to foredeck crew!

 Ray Walker, sailmaker to the Queen

 Ray grew up on the Isle of Wight.  He started his sail making career with Ratsey Lapthorn sail makers and has worked for Doyle Sails and Quantum.  Ray sailed competitively aboard America's Cup Challengers and throughout the Islands.  Ray is highly knowledgeable, experienced and a joy to converse with.  You'll know by his vernacular that you have him on the phone if he answers when you call.  We are glad to have Ray on our team.
 

Rob Mundell, Company President & Rigger.

Rob loves sailing.  There's no other way to put it.  Rob finished first in H.R.Y.C.'s Gulfstreamer 2006 as crew aboard Toki.  He raced the Gulfstreamer South in 2005 for a second place.  He raced with his close friends aboard Copperhead in 2004.  He was first in class and first over-all aboard The Last Mangas a Beneteau 36s7 in the 2007 First Coast Offshore Challenge.  Rob races his boat every year in the fleet at Daytona's Halifax River Yacht Club's Commodore Cup regatta series...And you're just as likely to see him knocking about in anything that floats.
