Carol Hasse

Owner, Port Townsend Sails

Carol Hasse has logged over 40,000 offshore miles in northern and southern latitudes on boats varying from 25 to 101 feet. She spent her mid-1970s sailing a Jim Brown Searunner trimaran to the South Pacific and building a 47-foot Ed Monk-designed ketch with friends, which launched a renowned career as sailmaker, sail-training instructor, and seminar speaker. She's a founding director of the popular Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival, and since 1978 she's run Hasse and Co., Port Townsend Sails, a loft the Seven Seas Cruising Association hailed for making the best sails for cruisers.
