Julia took a keen interest in wooden boats while attending The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA and taking the integrated studies “Marine History and Crafts” program which was focused on wooden vessels.

During the program the students learned boat design, lofting, building and heard outside gurus such as designer Bob Perry.

Shortly after college, Julia landed at Mystic Seaport, CT apprenticing under the accomplished late designer/builder John Gardner for a full year. Julia then went on to build a 34ʹ Yawl rigged sailboat with her hubby and sailed to the far seas.
