Sushi Tower for Honey Ryder




















Sushi Tower? On a sailboat? WT.....?



















We decided to ditch all the junk on the back of the boat and add an arch. We sailed s/v Honey Ryder up to Wilmington Island GA so the Boykin Brothers could build us an arch. They build archs but the bulk of their business is tuna towers for sport fishing boats. Honey's arch soon became Honey's Tuna Tower and finally Honey Ryder's Sushi tower. Yes, we ARE that easily entertained.

Before - all junked up with davits, outboard hoisting arm, wind generator poles etc...














After - simply a stainless steel work of art...or so we think.














The Boykin Brothers skillfully integrated it into the existing rails.




















The wind generator got a new, high quality, sturdy pole for it's mount. The solid build of our sushi tower will allow for additional solar panels in the future.

  1. That's so cool! I didn't even remember or realize that you had a wind generator already. Awesome!
