Sail Tahoe Blue On the Move

Well the great crew made delivery late last night at the Tahoe Keys Marina. This 28’06” super wide load , was carefully planned from Kkmi Boat Yard , in Richmond California, to the Tahoe Keys Marina, in South lake Tahoe. Our part in this project started with multiple route surveys starting in December of 2025. We did have our complications with this load starting with an unplanned lane closure in the placerville area, an independent traffic control contractor had an unauthorized lane closure up that caltrans did not know about. Which caused delays in the Placerville California area on August 31st. We also had very tight areas going over Echo Summit across highway 50 that were pre-planned to be walking only areas to move this very large vessel through, although it did cause traffic delays, that was pre-planned and was necessary to move this vessel to its destination via this route. Other routes were looked at in the planning process, but proved to not be big enough to accommodate a load of this size. We appreciate all of the hard work that Caltrans, California Highway Patrol, and all the cities and counties that we went to go through efforts to get us through this permitting and movement process..

Jim Dory New Catamaran

Jim is finishing his 30′ KHSD catamaran.
It is back. As a testament to its’s strength, when it was tied up some 30 years ago, a barge broke loose in a storm and trapped his cat between the barge and the dock for several hours.
It was repaired and is looking great now.
