Bernie Jakits & Kate Christensen
Hi, I'm Bernie Jakits. After 20 years of owning and running a successful brokerage in Annapolis, my partner Kate Christensen and I have merged our company with David Walters Yachts. We are happy and excited to be a part of something bigger and continue to live our passion that started long ago. When I was an engineer in the aerospace industry I had lots of time to read every sailboat review and follow every development in the industry. I dreamed of one day owning a distinctly different brokerage firm and it all came true when in 1997 I started RogueWave Yacht Sales It came out of a passion for the sea and love for the beautiful vessels that sail on her. My vision was to create a new kind of brokerage dedicated to honesty and integrity and desire to help people be successful and achieve their bluewater sailing vision. Kate Christensen joined me in 2001 to share that vision and bring her talents and expertise in business and marketing as well as her passion for sailing her Bristol Channel Cutter. Over 20 years, we built an incredible brokerage and consulting firm specializing in ocean going vessels and live aboard cruising sailboats. We have advised and guided over 800 Clients worldwide from as far away as Hong Kong, Brazil, Australia, Europe and everywhere between, so that they too can also achieve their dream of owning and cruising with a capable bluewater vessel to find and reach their own horizons. We have the experience and expertise required to really help people.
For over 45 years, I have sailed, delivered and worked on hundreds of different types of vessels. Representing many clients, I have sailed in the North Sea to Med, across the Atlantic, and in the South China Sea and the, Pacific, the Caribbean Islands and also both Coasts of the USA. Having owned and maintained over 3 million dollars worth of sailing vessels, I have vast experience with incredible sailing vessels from the Hallberg Rassy 53 or a Valiant 40 & 42, a Norseman 447, a PSC34, and a BCC28. I've sailed to many foreign ports and also lived aboard while raising a family. Kate and I have had the opportunity to have incredible sailing adventures aboard our boats from the amazing Bristol Channel Cutter to the Hallberg Rassy 53 and finally our Valiant 42 that we built new in 2008 when we were Valiant Dealers in Annapolis. We have sailed far and lived aboard; we have led the Caribbean 1500 to the Bahamas. We have raced to Bermuda. We have delivered boats from the North Sea to the Med and from Guatemala to Annapolis and of course from the Caribbean to Annapolis many times. Through that experience we can help cruising couples make the right decisions. I have decommissioned and shipped many vessels and put them back together again, for myself and also for our clients. I have upgraded each vessel we owned installing every system imaginable, and maintaining every boat properly. I have taught and advised clients so that they themselves will have a pleasant and rewarding experience. Being a fellow boat owner and having personally experienced both sides of being a buyer and a seller, I understand your concerns.
With these many years of experience I have come to know and appreciate what a truly high caliber blue water sailing yachts is and should be. As a licensed & bonded professional yacht broker, please give me the pleasure of helping you define your requirements and help choose your next passage making/offshore capable sailing or power yacht. My experience is gained from having had a 100 Ton USCG Master License, being a Captain on several ocean races, having been a Marine Surveyor, and of course my background as an MSME Mechanical Engineer. And most important of all, I have sailed over 100,000 offshore miles, on my own boats and delivering countless boats for client to about everywhere.

Lady M is amazing because she was recently purchased not even a year ago. The new owners went over the boat with a fine toothed comb to address every single thing to make her as perfect as she could be. Basically they went through the boat stem to stern through every system to inspect, maintain, and upgrade as necessary. It is exactly what you would want to do if you bought a boat. And someone did it for you. Everything has been checked out, serviced, repaired, maintained or upgraded; I did say everything including the mechanicals, electrical, domestics, rigging sails and safety gear. Everything! The Lady is ready to go! And she is ready to go with you!

Winches:
Construction Sitala Yachts builder of the Nauticat 515 takes pride in the strength of their hulls that are solid fiberglass construction. The skeg mounted rudder has a robust solid stainless steel rudder post. This boat is built to take the demands of the ocean. She is built solidly like real boats are built with a grid of longitudinal stringers and latitudinal stringers to form a monolithic grid. Of course the bulkheads and structural elements are tabbed in and bonded to the hull sides and the deck to further stiffen and reinforce the structure.. The fiberglass decks are of molded sandwich construction with teak overlay that is the best nonskid you can ever have. Personally, I love the deck handrail that is literally like a ship! It is a Nauticat signature element and once you lay your hands on it, you are hooked. The solid teak handrail mounted on robust stainless steel stanchions higher than most boats. It is a wonderful secure feeling to walk around on a Nauticat. In fact everything about the boat is sort of overbuilt. But, overbuilt for what. When you sail in the ocean, you really cannot say what overbuilt it. She is built for what the ocean will throw at her and you’ll be glad of that. The hardware on deck is chosen with large working loads in mind. "A little bigger is better" clarifies the philosophy regarding deck gear. Aft of the cockpit is a very large, almost stand up height, full beam aft deck lazarette. In the Aft Lazarette is the fitting for filling Dive Tanks. The compressor is located under the Master Stateroom bed. All through hull fittings have bronze seacocks. Custom dinghy davits made from 6061 aluminum with reinforcing in stress areas with manual Anderson winches which are mounted on the davits for dinghy lifting. Two Kyocera Solar panels are mounted, out of the way on the dinghy davits provide additional power to battery banks. The dinghy motor is lifted aboard with a block and tackle with a Kato Marine stainless steel lift arm. A outboard motor mounting is installed on the handrail near the motor lift arm.
Cockpit Details: The center cockpit provides wonderful visibility and security. It is also very comfortable with the new dodger and bimini built by Beaver Brand Canvas in Fort Lauderdale in 2015.It’s lovely light gray Sunbrella to match the sail's sun covers,
GROUND TACKLE: Pretty amazing anchor platform with lovely bow seat and two magnificent anchor rollers. There is a deck opening anchor locker that has the anchor wash down in it. Lofrans Titan windlass with a hand held controller for up and down. The windlass has a break that allows for quick anchor deployment bypassing the electric controller.
