I’m Nathalie from Stokedman Studios, and I thought I’d reach out to see if there might be an opportunity to share a story with Latitude 38 readers that combines innovation with real-world cruising experience.

My partner and I are avid sailors—we did the Baja Ha-Ha in 2016, spent several seasons exploring Mexico, and eventually made the passage to Hawaii. Those years at sea shaped not just our sailing memories, but also the work we do today.

At Stokedman Studios, we design and produce performance-driven products for boaters and adventure seekers, using 3D printing, CNC, and carbon fibre. A few examples:

• Starlink mounts for marine use, along with 12V conversion kits that make the system more efficient for off-grid cruising.
• NaviBlocks, a modular enclosure system for navigational instruments.
• Custom work for cruisers, including bespoke carbon fibre elements designed to maximise performance and aesthetics.

These products were born directly from our own time afloat, solving challenges we wished someone had solved for us back then.
