Sailor
John has been a passionate sailor since high school. He has owned several vessels, culminating in his current ship, MV Ragtime, an Express Scout 30 motor yacht. The Scout 30 is modelled on a classic design from the 1920s, the Lake Union Dream Boat, out of Seattle. Ragtime underwent a comprehensive hull-up rebuild before launching in August, 2020. She received a new motor, electronics, electrics and safety equipment, as well as air conditioning, heating, Blu Ray TV, wifi and stereo. Specifications, plans, surveys and the log for this remarkable vessel are included below.
