About Ravenwolf Marine – the short version

Who Knew?!

OMG what is growing in our mattress?! Upon stripping the cover off of the foam. Ewww. Mold. No wonder I have a migraine all the time and feel like crap.

The timeline of RWM

From Den-Dry and photography to boating canvas, we’ve stumbled and crawled – along with a capsize to boot – through the last five years. We all make mistakes, which are lessons, not really mistakes(?) unless one wants to be overly pessimistic. Hey, our glass is half full! Ok at one point SV Shindyah was an 1/8 filled, on land. Yeah, that wasn’t a fun find coming into Spring 2021.

2017

Will we EVER sell any of this?!

Ravenwolf Marine abard SV Shindyah docked on the West River, MD.

2018

We need more space!

Cargo trailer acquired, canvas sewing ensues, along with storage and fulfillment of Den-Dry orders, at a marina.

2019

Need more space!

Into the garage we go, after starting caregiving duties ashore.

2020

A pandemic? WTAF.

Guess what, after a small lull, need more raw materials than ever before. Sales are off the hook cray-cray.

2021

Need more space!

Ok, bite the bullet and move to town. FBA? OMG need more space! Oh wait, not quite yet. TRAIN!

2017

Can one sew upon a sailing vessel? Sure! I have, and, well, it can be challenging. Can one prep a roll of Den-Dry aboard? Uh, not quite. Sure, we tried, no seriously our raw materials are too bulky to fit through the companion way. Enter marina locker rental and a tarp over the floor.

2018

Well, after sewing a couple of racing banners for a vessel participating in the 2018 Annapolis to Bermuda Race, we decided a cargo trailer was in order. So, off to Georgia, between visiting Key West and Camp Verde. Home Depot to the rescue and family building skills.

2019 – 2020

For some reason, Den-Dry requires a blood sacrifice periodically. 2019 and 2020 saw a steady increase in sales, as we move out of the trailer and into the rather large garage. Then we exploded.

2021

Now located at 15510 Montanus Drive, Suite D, Culpeper, Va 22701, Ravenwolf Marine tackles shipping on a bit more massive scale that includes pallets and a wide-eyed OMG UPS driver for a second time.
