Back in May of 2026, we had the pleasure of building 20 of our T15 Sailboat for Sam Utne, a community engagement professional out in Minneapolis. He had the idea of making a sailboat pond in the heart of Minneapolis outside of the capital building. As you can see in the picture above, this project was an homage to the classic Paris Pond Yachts. With the sponsorship and support of Xcel Energy, this project was able to come to life.
Several blue and white model sailboats with large star-shaped markings on the sails are displayed on a white pedestal in an outdoor urban setting with a modern glass building and water feature in the background.
A small wooden toy sailboat with blue and teal sails floats on the shallow water of an urban fountain plaza, with modern skyscrapers in the background.
