Tartan 37 #168 Nicknack

Welcome to the Home Page of Paul Nickerson. This page features pictures and videos I have produced as well as articles about my Tartan 37c Nicknack. Many of the pictures and videos are taken on Lake Erie. I am an avid solo-sailor and Great Lakes Single Handed Society Member having completed 4 Lake Erie Solo Challenges and the Lake Ontario 300. I sail out of Edgewater YC in Cleveland. My wife Christine and I raise Chocolate Labs which you will find featured in many pictures. Visit Captain Nick's Labs to see more about the dogs.

What are friends for? To help you work on your boat! To teach you more about boats than you maybe ever wanted to know. In what became an 8 year project Jim and Pam Otton gutted the interior, rebuilt the cockpit and half the deck, and re-painted a Tailwind 37/40 with a little help from friends. Paradise is now sailing again off Cleveland.
