Random Wind is a traditional sailboat; 54 ft length, cutter-rigged ketch and well maintained. Started in Taiwan and finished in South Africa, her strength and craftsmanship are just some of her positive attributes.
She circumnavigated the world twice and then hoped to find retirement in St. Maarten…
People loved her so much that Marten and Saskia started to get lots of them asking to take her out for the day. And so it started bit by bit that after some years they were doing 4 – 5 days per week and sharing great stories with the people who often turn friends.
After running the business for 11 years, Marten and Saskia, with their two children, Skye and Sil, decided it was time for a change. On April 1st, 2007 they sold the business. It is now run by Diane Morano Smith of the USA. She is the Managing Director and full-time hostess/first mate.
She says her most enjoyable moments, aside from back-flipping off the Tarzan swing, are the sounds of laughter and splashing heard through the hatches as she is prepping the afternoon snacks. “I realize how great this is when I hear that.”
