Oracle racing star: 2008
This is an Anacortes waterfront scene in the fall of 2008. See the Anacortes Maritime Heritage Center for details about the vessel’s connections to Skagit County.

Lovric’s boat yard
Sun on the water drew me to the 12th Street bluff overlooking Lovric’s Sea-Craft, Inc. on the Guemes Channel.
Sailing sensation
I’m no sailing expert, but it’s easy to believe the reports I’ve heard that there is no sailboat like this one anywhere in the world.
