S/V Blue Flower (Na'ví Seze) is the workhorse and flagship of the Inland Packet fleet. At twelve feet long with a classic gaff rig this versatile "Microjammer" is able to enter the protected waters found in the Inland Northwest while still being portable by one person. With a clipper bow and clean lines the Blue Flower hearkens back to the the great age of sailing ships once so common in the worlds waters.
"She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine seabird: weatherly, stiff and fast … very fast, if she's well handled." Jack Aubry
