Helacious is a custom self-built sailboat
Built by Brian in our backyard starting in 2009. We planned for 10 years and finished in 7, launching in 2016 and have cruised all over the North Atlantic, including four trans-Atlantic crossings.
Brian has written a book (in itself an epic project) detailing how 5 tons of aluminum were transformed into this custom expedition yacht.
A labor of love, the thought and consideration of every detail is described, from selection of the plans, welding the frames and hull, custom cabinetry and installation of electronics and all other systems.
The book is available as a hardback or electronic version from Amazon. Due to the hundreds of photographs the electronic version is best viewed on a tablet.
