Salt Yacht Brokerage, a full-service sail and power brokerage in Rock Hall, is pleased to announce the addition of Connie Ranney to their team. Ranney, who started sailing out of Rock Hall 20 years ago, brings with her a love of sailing and an in-depth knowledge of boating.

Just around the corner...

...SPRING!

The holidays are a happy memory, the New Year slid under our feet and we find ourselves marching toward spring! It is that time of the year when we can not keep our thoughts from getting boaty... Time for the mid winter bilge checks, cover adjustment, battery monitoring, parts ordering, boat shopping....and in SYBC case....surveys, seatrials and closings!

Last Monday we splashed this beautiful 1983 Lippincott 36 (a what?) for sea-trial way up north in Riverside NJ. Bright blue skys, temps hovering in the low 20's, ice in the travel-lift slip... a glorious day for a sea-trial! The survey and sea-trial went well and another boat changes hands and lives. A slightly sad seller hands over the key but not the 29 years of good sailing memories (yes the original owner)...A happy buyer who will find his winter severly shortened by pleasent sailing images derailing his trains of thought....

...........I love my job!

Here's some of what we have sold the last couple of months:

SALT YACHT BROKERAGE COMPANY ....simply doing it right!

Boat sales SIMPLY... doing it right (blogging not so much)

It has been over a year since my last blog, forgive me father.
I have been told that social media... twitter, facebook, blogging are necessary to stay relevant in the market place. Yet Salt Yacht Brokerage Company has managed just fine without my witty banter oozing into your spam folder for over a year! I have felt guilty about not parading every new listing or proud new owner out to the awaiting huddled masses by way of "faceblogskypwittring" (new word)... I'm sure its been tough on those I've passed over, but with all this free time from not twittering, blogging, facebooking (much) or skyping (not sure what that is) we have had time to sell lots of boats and actually sail a few!
There is always room for improvement so I will try and keep up with blog blog blog ...but if sales drop off.....

Next Blog.... "Has this boat ever been aground"

News Release 10th of September Two Thousand oh Ten: for immediate release to general public, News Media, all wire services and AP:

Tilley our fourth most productive salesperson has decided to take a leave of absence from Salt Yacht Brokerage Company to return to College in Vermont and assist her master in finishing up her senior year. Although she will surely be missed we are happy to announce that we have found a capable replacement to fill all four of Tilley's shoes....Genny
Genny is a young upstart pup rescued from Dundalk who although appears lethargic and unresponsive we have great hope that she will mature into a fine upstanding office dog that will someday respond to her name and actually stand up.... Stop by and say hi to Genny...

In other news...

We have had a great selling summer. Charlie and Ben have both been active and we have sold through most of our inventory. This summer has seen SYBC continue to grow and our focus on just doing one thing and one thing well is paying off! We just sell used boats. No new boat lines to push, No charter company to manage. SYBC "Simply selling boats!"
If you are thinking of moving up or out of boating give us a call.
We have the focus to make it happen! -
Cheers,
Tom
