: Wings of Grace off Newport

Billy Black sent me this photo of Wings of Grace–one of my masterpieces. Has

there ever been a yacht more gorgeous, or that sailed so well?

Here’s a recent photo of REDWING sailing downwind in a lot of breeze. She’s beautiful, fast, and her helm is a delight. Here’s your chance to have a lifetime of fun in something that fits easily into your garage.

Yachting Magazine May

Yachting Magazine was kind enough to publish the second excerpt from my book. However, they were unable to publish the entire second half of the introduction. So here for your reading pleasure is the original text from the book. The book may now be ordered, with shipping to begin on June 1.

HOW I BECAME A YACHT DESIGNER PART 2

Posted in Chuck Paine's book | Comments Off on Yachting Magazine May

Welcome

ChuckPaine.com LLC is a new company which will focus upon putting small, very seaworthy sailboats into the hands of the next generation of nautical adventurers. We will emphasize small to midsize yachts because they enable aspiring voyagers to get out there before their geriatric years. Unlike my old company, now closed, we will leave motoryacht design to others—the world does not need more ways to use up its precious one-off gift of liquid energy. Corporations are not all faceless automatons running on autopilot. At least the small ones are steered, influenced, perhaps inspired by their leaders. Hence this Blog, in which Chuck Paine blurts out his personal take on subjects as varied as his yacht designs as works of art, his clients, his other life as an oil painter, and the state of the world in general. Don’t forget this is a blog, and it’s a lot more fun for others to read when people who read it (THIS MEANS YOU!) post your comments- positive or scathing- for all the world to see.
