[Feature article in the January 2022 Porsche Club of American Panorama Magazine] HERMES WAS the Greek messenger of the gods (the Romans called him Mercury). He was the one with the winged helmet and was also said to rule over speed, commerce, and good fortune. It’s an apt name for a vintage Porsche-inspired boat that marks a return to the style of the classic runabouts from the early to middle part of the last century. Automobile-inspired boats are nothing new. In the 1950s, at the dawn of the fiberglass era, numerous designs appeared incorporating automotive styling cues. Unfortunately, most fell into the category of kitsch, with fins, chrome, and other excessive jet-age accoutrements. The Hermes Speedster by Seven Seas Yachts is nothing like those boats. Its inspiration is more subtle but still undeniable.

Nine Axopar owners and seven boats cruised into the beautiful seaside town of Poulsbo, nicknamed Viking City, to celebrate Julefest. Founded along Liberty Bay in the 1880s by Norwegian immigrants, the community and Poulsbo Sons of Norway host Julefest, the traditional Viking ceremony signifying the day the Sun disappears in Norway for the winter. Tradition includes lighting a beacon to call the Sun back from the underworld. In modern times St. Lucia, a highly respected Saint in Norway has been incorporated. She is brought to shore by boat, carrying the torch as a symbol of the sun, where she lights a bonfire followed by the Viking King’s reading of the Winter Solstice Proclamation. Our Axopar group enjoyed this annual Puget Sound event that included a Nordic Craft Christmas Market, samplings at the Taste of Norway, and gathering at Sogno De Vino to share notes and chat boating.
