Totally KAYA

Sailing an older boat takes a lot of elbow grease, patience and care. This year, we wanted to recognize boat owners for the many hours that go into maintaining an older boat. We teamed up with Totalboat, a marine-supplies company based in Bristol, Rhode

Island, and threw down a simple social challenge: Send us a photo of your boat at her best. The winner stood to receive a

Totalboat bucket load of DIY supplies. After a tight race from the fleet, line honors went to Columbia by Kaya, Charlie the 31 Morgan. 1965 designed

Owner of Wakefield, Eben Horten, Rhode

Island, said, “Kaya’s been around the block a few times, and even a few more, but she’s still looking good!”

Horten, a glass artist, is known in New

England for his 2012 creation of Block

Island’s Glass Float project, a popular

Block Island scavenger hunt for glass orbs hidden around the island. Totalboat is known for its quality marine products for boat builders and

Diyers.
