About Ananda

36′ Nauticat Motorsailer – “Ananda”

We had the pleasure of owing the Nauticat from 2006 to 2016. During that time we had many great adventures aboard Ananda on the Great Lakes and in Atlantic Canada.


Ananda Under Sail

The Sailing Vessel Ananda (S/V Ananda) is a 36′ Nauticat built in 1983.

On this website you will find many pages and blog posts that share my experience in sailing and maintaining Ananda. Over the years I have benefited from the knowledge and experience that other boaters have been kind enough to share with me. This is my modest way of preserving and passing on that information to others.

You will also find pages and blog postings about other activities, trips and interests of mine.
