Converting your sailboat from a coastal cruiser to a boat capable of safe offshore passages can be a challenge. Perhaps you have read lots of articles on the subject, but are confused about the most cost effective approach for your specific situation. Perhaps you know exactly what needs to be done, but do not have the time to select the best subcontractors and oversee the work. We can help.

Miles Poor (of Karina, a Tayana 55) and Rick Palm (of Altair, a Saga 48) have helped owners prepare their boats for Cruising Rally Association events as CRA staff members.  Miles is Fleet Surgeon, inspector , and lecturer for the event.  Rick is Chief Safety Inspector and Education Director. They know what it takes to prepare a boat for a safe and comfortable offshore passage. 

Recent projects have included work on many styles and types of boats:  Hylas, Jeanneau, Island Packet, Najad, and Tayana. MRP Refits is the authorized warranty repair service for Hylas Yachts.
