Our Polynesian Roots
Well over a thousand years ago the Polynesians were the first to master the design and building of blue water capable multihull sail boats. They then used these boats to explore and colonize the vast reaches of the Pacific.

Puget Sound is now a no-discharge zone for vessel sewage
The EPA has established a No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for Puget Sound and certain adjoining waters. An NDZ is a body of water where boats may not release sewage, whether treated or not. The NDZ will help protect public health, water quality, and sensitive resources. Chapter 173-228 WAC was adopted on April 9, 2018 after a five year public process and EPA approval. The rule is effective as of May 10, 2018. However, certain commercial vessels have a five year delay before the rule begins. There is no change for graywater discharges.
