What’s your Sign?
Close your eyes and imagine this. You board the sailing vessel, stow your gear and return topside. Oh, did I mention it’s a schooner with masts that are 12 stories tall.

The hard times of the Depression allowed the Port the opportunity to aquire property adjacent to the 14th Street […]
Check out the new Uniflites !

In 2012 I started looking into the overall history of Uniflite when I purchased a 1964 29’ Uniflite Express Cruiser, affectionately referred to […]
