Rigging Doctor

Ever dream of traveling the world in an eco-friendly method? We are two kids with an electric sailboat and a big dream!

We are an artist and dentist who dropped everything to become travel vloggers, getting around via our electric sailboat!
Our home is a Morgan 45 with tanbark sails and an electric motor. We are completely self sufficient on board in our tiny house as we sail the waters of the world. We have set sail from Baltimore, MD on a cruise through the Atlantic Ocean and just completed our first transatlantic crossing.
