In Santa Barbara, California, Fred Saas and his wife Carol designed and hand-built the racing, cruising 50-foot, 23-ton sailboat Daedalus. After cruising from San Francisco through the Panama Canal to settle on Perdido Bay, Alabama, Fred became a Lic. USCG Master and Daedalus was USCG certified for 22 passengers. Daedalus now sails Gulf of Mexico waters near and around Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Josephine, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida.
