Owned by bluewater cruisers who found their inspiration in global voyaging and the cruising life, Windrose Productions has evolved into an entity that is committed to helping others achieve their dreams of exploring the inner realms of the deep sea within each of us as well as the oceans of the world around us. The intent of our activities, whether it's introducing people to the joy of sailing, helping others cast off the dock lines, or helping to increase awareness of bodywork and energetic therapies, is to promote a more holistic and invigorating way of living in harmony with nature.

Windrose is a small publishing company originally established in 1986 in Port Townsend, WA and now located on the downeast coast of Maine. Over the years, we have published Steel Away, one of the most often consulted books on steel boatbuilding and design, completed a research expedition in which we sailed our ketch Perelandra around the world, produced the travel video Far Away, an intimate portrait of people living on remote islands of the South Pacific, and published a book on the maritime history of Brooksville, Maine. Our passion for healthy exploration has lead to our latest publication, The Maine Directory of Complementary & Alternative Health Practitioners. In addition to publications, we also offer the experience of sailing charters on the coast of Maine and marine services like cruising and weather consultations, yacht condition and evaluation surveys for purchase and insurance, worldwide boat deliveries, and systems modifications for cruising yachts.

Dreamers of their own dreams, Windrose will continue to expand and provide worthwhile information and guidebooks that promote healthy living through exploring both the inner and outer realms of our existence. If we had a motto, it would be "May your heart be in paradise."
