About us
Welcome to Sailing Vessel (SV) New Adventures. This vessel is a classic Cheoy Lee 35' designed by the legendary Robert Perry and is an excellent example of what he is famous for - very pleasing lines, great sailing boats with spacious interiors. She features an Aluminum mast, fiberglass decks, wheel steering & a new fresh water cooled 30 HP Yanmar Diesel with plenty of power. It has a full Raymarine electronics package and chart plotter. As well, it has a Monitor wind vane self-steering system. We've learned that electronics are great until you need them, we have manual backups for every essential system.
We are Tim & Lynette Jenné, both of us are high-achievers who have worked very hard to grow personally and professionally. In June, 2016 we were both in a position where we had lost our regular jobs. We had two choices, get anxious or realize there was a bigger plan in play. We took a 40-day sabbatical on a boat in San Diego. What emerged out of that time was clarity to rekindle dreams from our youth. Having raised 4 children who are successful and on their own, we chose to go back to what we were passionate about. We did the 'responsible' thing and worked hard, raised our kids and launched them into their respective lives, but did we get lost along the way? In 2003 Tim had planned to get his captain's license and provide people with a captivating experience on the water like he had at age 13. That plan changed when we moved our family to Redding, CA in 2004. Not a lot of ocean in NorCal.
During our sabbatical, we took the American Sailing Association (ASA) courses 101-105. The basic keelboat, coastal cruising, bareboat chartering and the coastal navigation courses. It was an intense time of learning for Lynette who had limited exposure to the ways, language and culture of sailboats. Tim went on to take the instructor qualification clinics and is certified to teach ASA 201-205. The opportunity to become an instructor just so happened as we were in San Diego. The ASA do the clinics every 18 months. Within a couple weeks of finishing our courses it became available at Harbor Sailboats, where we are members of the club. Tim had to apply to the ASA to even be considered for the clinic, within hours of submitting his sailing resume he was approved -- green light! In October 2017 Tim completed the requirements for his captain's license, he qualified for a USCG Master 100 gross ton with a sailing endorsement.
This boat, we've named New Adventures, is just that. We will be cruising the West coast in search of new adventures, new people and new destinations. If you think this is retirement, think again. We'll be busier than ever learning, growing and transforming ourselves into true sailors.
Over the past 30+ years of marriage we've spent countless hours and resources launching other people into their dreams, now it feels like we get to experience it for ourselves. If you want to support this journey, to put some cruising chips in the bank, it takes about $1200/mo to travel this way. Square Cash link: https://cash.me/$TimJenne Thanks for your support!
