Rudy and Jill Sechez

Jill and Rudy Sechez have cruised for 20 years and still enjoy using paper charts, lead line, compass, and oil lighting. They have built seven of the nine boats they've owned, including their current boat, a 34-foot sail-assisted trawler, Briney Bug, and its 8-foot rowing dinghy, one of five they've designed. They have written numerous articles for boating magazines and their book, Anchoring, a Ground Tackler's Apprentice, was published by Waterway Guide Media. They are available for speaking engagements: rudyandjill@yahoo.com.
