Some Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the Sailing Mary Waters FAQ page, where I answer some of the most common questions people ask me about my life on the water.

  • It’s been over a decade really. It all started on a chance stumble on an earlier Delos YouTube video. Then I was asked to join a family friend on his boat one day and that was the kicker…

  • It took about 3 years of looking, on and off. Mainly in the Maryland/Virginia area, but I did travel up to Maine once.

  • I took sailing lessons at The Maryland School of Sailing and Seamanship in Rock Hall, MD. I have my ASA 101, 103, 104, 105, and 107 certifications.

  • Mary Waters is a Canadian-designed racer-cruiser that combines refined handling with robust durability for challenging conditions. She is a 36.5-foot masthead sloop with a fin keel and a rudder on a partial skeg. A shoal draft of 4.92 feet allows for cruising in shallower waters.

  • I hope to set sail for The Bahamas in Oct/Nov 2025

  • Mary Waters is the perfect play on words for an ideal sea state, but deeper than that, it’s the name of my Maternal Grandmother - it definitely works!

  • I love to travel, and what better way to see it than by traveling and taking my home with me!
