Goal: Refresh the limited sailing skills I have, learn, learn, learn! And have fun!
Availability: Weekends
Comments: I love being on the water and working with boats and sailors. I'm considering purchasing a sailboat, but I fear that my limited sailing abilities will prevent me from fully enjoying a boat of my own. I was in the Coast Guard for 5 years, so I know most of the rules of the road, possess excellent seamanship skills, and have great sea stories to share. Some are made up, but you won't know the difference. I'm extremely laid back and prefer a good time over going fast.

Comments: I am a 39 year old sailor with a young family (children ages 4 and 7) relocating to the Richmond area at the end of June. As a child I grew up racing and sailing Lasers in Stone Harbor, New Jersey and East Orleans, MA. As a young adult I taught sailing at Cape Cod Sea Camps and continued to sail Lasers. After college I gained extensive blue water offshore and racing experience working professionally on charter yachts & maxi boats on the waters from Maine to Annapolis...and throughout the Caribbean Islands. Since coming off the yachts and beginning a career in corporate communications I've kept my feet wet by participating in local summer Wednesday night beer can races - mostly C&C's out of Sausalito, CA and most recently Westport, CT. Looking forward to meeting and sailing with any FBYC members who have need of an able hand...
