Winner of 3RD PLACE AWARD
at the Torchlight Parade 2025!
We’re honored to have received this award among so many talented teams who entered floats in the parade. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged us and responded so enthusiastically to our magical dragon boat, Skidbladnir, and to Oyamel, our giant butterfly on her catamaran.
Both of our art sailboats will remain on display for 1.5 extra months at Benicia City Park. Come see them behind the fire station, under the old oak tree.
