Good morning! I’m Tristram (Tris) Howard, a sailor, notary, carpenter, and ocean engineer who enjoys peaceful moments, a cup of hot chocolate, and walking around. I take great pride in my work and in teamwork, and find the incremental troubleshooting process of figuring out why something isn’t working this time (and then fixing it!) to be immensely satisfactory.
I have a long-term dream of getting traditionally rigged sailing boats back into working roles on the water, but in the meantime I can often be found watching (and sailing) the sailboats on Casco Bay, re-reading a good book, walking around Brunswick, or working on an art project.

Pictured: Myself moving forward on the boom as I help to bring in Wendameen’s mainsail, Summer 2019. Wendameen is a schooner designed by John Alden and built in 1912 in East Boothbay, ME. She’s been all over the world, but now lives in Portland, ME where I worked aboard for a few summers. Photo credit to Vincent Aliquo, a good friend and excellent photographer.
