Welcome to the home of the Inland Packet and Navigation Company. This websites acts as a repository for the boat building adventures of our president James D. Maxwell as he builds Instant style boats in the Inland Northwest. We hope this site will act as an inspiration for those of you wishing to build your own sailboat boat and show that you too can leave one shore and find out what is on the other.

"Cinch up your belt, roll up your sleeves, and go ahead and build it, regardless of hell, hurricanes, and high prices. It'll always be worth the cost, as it always was."
