Check their website for a listing of trips.

Zodiac was launched in 1924 from a harbor in Maine. She has sailed the Atlantic and along the Pacific Coast. For years she was a pilot schooner off San Francisco. For the past 30 some years she has been providing sailing charters in Puget Sound with her base in Seattle. This spring she is transferring her home port to Fairhaven. You can visit and look her over from the Cruise Terminal dock anytime she is not out sailing. Easy to find her with those 127 foot tall masts. She can take 49 people out on a day sail or 26 for overnight sails through the islands.

She has been lovingly restored over the years. The ship is beautiful and it is enjoyable to stroll her deck looking at all the varnished wood and tall masts. She is a treasure and we in Fairhaven are very proud she has found a permanent home here.

Feel free to contact Christine Wallace, first mate and sail master on Zodiac, with any questions you might have about going sailing. You can book a trip with a phone call or an email to Chris.

I'm John Servais, the publisher of this website, Fairhaven.com. I first experienced Fairhaven in 1968, came to love the area and have watched it evolve ever since. While this website was started in 1995, it really began growing in April 2002 with financial support from several key Fairhaven businesses. It continues to grow with support from more businesses. And I continue to enjoy my work of promoting our historic district and the businesses here and near here.

The actual business address is PO Box 4234, Bellingham, WA 98227 - as I work from my home just a few blocks from the historic district. There is no office at the 11th St at Harris Ave. location - and that is used so the Google Maps will find the correct location for Fairhaven.

Celebrating 20 years in Fairhaven

Among all the crafts throughout history, woodworking has been fundamental. With wood one can actualize just about any idea conceived from bowls to buildings to boats to bridges. Design range from utilitarian through functional and beyond artistic to abstract. Today, most of our houses are still made of wood, most of our furniture is wooden, and much of our plastic is made to look like wood.

When people speak of fine furniture, they are usually thinking of genuine antiques (most of which were factory mass produced) or pieces in period styles, (Chippendale, Queen Anne, Colonial, etc.). This gallery represents a small sampling of what is happening in today's fine woodworking movement. Our pieces are all one of a kind, individually designed and constructed; most are functional, made to touch and use, all are sculptural. The finest quality craftsmanship and pleasing designs are our goal' a satisfied client is one of our rewards.

We consider ourselves artisan woodworkers, designer craftsmen and women, and have chosen to be so. Woodworking will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We hope you appreciate the time, skill, material and perseverance it takes to design, make and finish a careful piece of woodworking. We hope so-we do it for you.
