Meet Renowned
Captain Yosarian
Captain Yo's maritime journey began with smaller vessels but was truly ignited by the sight of schooners and sloops in Mount Desert's Great Harbor. His childhood fascination with model boats evolved into a passion for crafting replicas, honing skills from pocketknife carving to woodworking under Wendell Gilley. As a 13 year-old he placed 2nd on an adult sailing competition.

What is a Performance Model?
The performance model is a blend of toy boat and scale model, designed to perform in real water, whether in a bath, pool, pond, or, for the serious enthusiast, at sea. These models are carved from solid wood to capture the look of traditional types in a miniature vessel that floats to its lines, has stability, and holds its course, whether representing a skiff in a 6" model or a topmast schooner four feet long. Additionally, the performance model is built to boatbuilding standards, rugged enough to be loaded into a vehicle, and has a simple yet robust rig for ease of handling. The models are finished with boat paint and varnish for the best protection from the elements.
