About Us:

Dear Client,

We sailed around the world in a 35 foot sailing yacht, are happily married and run our business from a sailing yacht at the Bear Point Marina in Orange Beach, Alabama.

Our present sailing yacht is a one-off 38 footer named "Ethereal Virtue". This very special boat was built in 1978 at the Cookson Yard in Auckland, New Zealand of triple-diagonal cold-molded kauri wood with closely spaced stringers. She is design no. 79 from the office of Bruce Farr. This design was essentially a development of Farr’s successful 1977 World One-Ton Championship winning design no. 64, with more emphasis on light weather performance. The rig is twin spreader, 4/5th proportion with large mainsail, high aspect ratio foretriangle and running backstays. Her dimensions are roughly: 38ft length, 13ft beam, and 7ft draft. Her mast reaches 48ft off the deck, her displacement is approximately 4 tons and she goes like a scalded dog.

At VELVETILLUSION Web Design, we provide a custom service that is targeted to drive visitors to your site. Our objective is to create an enjoyable web experience through the use of Audio, Flash Animations, Java Scripts, Graphics and Text that are blended for the High-Speed Internet connection.

Please contact us if you have any questions about our work.

Yours truly,
