Family shaking hands with the seller on a dock beside their newly purchased sailboat, surveyor in the background
2016

The day she became ours

Newport, RI

After a year of searching, we shook hands on the dock. The surveyor found her sound — a few soft spots to watch, but a good bone structure. We signed the papers with sunburnt noses.

Log entries

  • Pre-purchase survey — passed
  • Bottom paint refreshed
  • New batteries (4× AGM)

2017

First season, first miles

Bahamas → BVI

1,842 nautical miles. Kids learned to read a chart before they could read a menu. Every anchorage got a page in the logbook and a stone in the galley jar.

Log entries

  • Impeller replaced at 340 hrs
  • Rigging inspection — clean
  • 12 anchorages logged

2018

Off the grid

Boatyard, Annapolis

Six 200W panels on the arch, an MPPT controller, and a lithium bank. First night on the hook without running the engine felt like cheating.

Log entries

  • 1,200W solar array installed
  • 400Ah LiFePO4 house bank
  • Victron MPPT + BMV-712

2019

Atlantic crossing

Las Palmas → St. Lucia

21 days, 2,847 miles, one broken autopilot and a stowaway flying fish. We saw more stars in three weeks than in the decade before.

Log entries

  • Autopilot ram rebuilt mid-passage
  • Rig checked at halfway point
  • Fuel polished before departure

2022

Major refit

Yard, Grenada

She earned it. New standing rigging, a repower, fresh Awlgrip on the topsides. Four months on the hard and a spreadsheet that grew a soul.

Log entries

  • Standing rigging replaced (10-year)
  • Yanmar 4JH45 repower
  • Awlgrip hull refinish
  • Through-hulls renewed

Handing over the keys

Home marina

The new owners flew in on a Tuesday. We gave them the link to Sea Breeze's VesselStory. Logs, receipts, and photographs, a well used and maintained boat— a full story, not a box of paper. The buyers didn't inherit a folder of receipts. They inherited her story.

Log entries

  • Full VesselStory record transferred
  • Sold at listing price
  • Every service, every mile, documented

One day you'll hand over the keys.
Don't hand over a box of receipts.
Hand over the complete story of your vessel.

Years from now, you will be glad you kept your VesselStory.

Buyers don't just see maintenance.
