Waterford Harbor, Kemah, Texas
August 2021 - Peter and Betsy Larabee, owners of the sailing yacht Dram Buoy, are leaving Texas
2021 Peanut Regatta Catch Up Highlights
2019 Yachtsman of the Year Captain Ruben Koene just completed a solo round of the globe in his gorgeous C&C 44 yacht "Veritas." He returned to Kemah, Texas, after nearly 18 months and 25000 nautical miles. Ruben's journey took almost a year to accomplish. He traveled for weeks at a time away from shore, visiting many ports of call that most of us have never heard of. Ruben is currently sailing his C&C 35 MK2 sailboat "Antares" in the Peanut Regatta of Waterford Series.
