My name is Jeremyn. I’m a technical-minded sailor based in the San Francisco Bay Area, currently restoring and operating a 1990 Ericson 32-200 (Sure Shot). My background is in industrial energy systems, large-scale commissioning, and complex field operations—work that depends on clear documentation, disciplined troubleshooting, and practical engineering judgment.
I apply the same approach to sailing and small-craft systems. This site serves as a growing archive of the problems I’ve solved, the upgrades I’ve completed, and the technical decisions behind them. It isn’t a personal journal; it’s a reference library—organized so another sailor can land on a page, find the exact issue they’re dealing with, and walk away with a solution that works.
My focus areas include:
- Sailboat electrical systems
- DC charging architecture and battery upgrades
- Plumbing, bilge systems, and seawater handling
- Mechanical troubleshooting
- Rigging and survey analysis
- Practical refit planning on older fiberglass boats
Over time, this site will also support a consulting component focused on helping owners of legacy sailboats diagnose system issues, plan upgrades, and improve reliability. For now, it’s simply a place to document the work—clearly, accurately, and without unnecessary noise.
If you’re here looking for answers, I hope you find what you need.
If you’re here to understand how I work, this is the clearest window into it.
