Dear loyal Pacific Seacraft customer,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new owner
of Pacific Seacraft Yachts. My name is Stephen Brodie and I live in
Washington, North Carolina with my wife Barbara and my three children
Madeleine (age 7), Reid (4), and Jacob (3). Washington is a beautiful small
historic sailing community that actually predates the nation’s capital. We
live in the country in a restored historic plantation home that we share
with three great danes. I come from a fairly diverse background having
worked as a University Scientific Diving Officer, Marine Archeologist, and
Commercial Construction Project Manager. While I very much enjoy sailing,
most of my time at sea has been spent aboard research vessels searching for,
documenting, and sometimes recovering some of the most famous historic
shipwrecks in the
world. These have included the Queen Anne’s Revenge (Blackbeard’s’s ship)
off Beaufort, NC and the CSS Alabama (Confederate Raider) off Cherbourg,
France. I have long been a student of boat building and Naval Architecture
and during a stint with the International Institute for Maritime Research
had opportunity to assist with historic vessel restorations.
During this time I developed a keen appreciation for fine lines and well
crafted boats. It was also during this time that I became enamored with the
designs of William Crealock. I have long admired his artistry and consider
it a rare privilege to be able to carry on such a fine tradition of
exceptional vessels.
So where are we now? I am currently in the process of moving all of the
Pacific Seacraft molds and tooling to North Carolina. Our new production
facility will be located in Washington, North Carolina, an area with a fine
boat building tradition. I plan to bring to North Carolina a core group of
key employees from the Fullerton, CA facility. I pledge to continue to
uphold the quality, craftsmanship, fine detailing, and seakeeping ability
that has made Pacific Seacraft such a household name in the sailing
community for 30 years. I have a true passion for these boats and will put
my heart into every one that leaves our facility. Thank you for your loyalty
and support and I look forward to providing you with the most beautiful and
seaworthy yachts available for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Stephen Brodie
