Have been sailing (cruising/racing) my own 30' sloop since 1978. Qualified as skipper by numerous charter companies for monohulls 35-45 feet since 2015. Have chartered as skipper in Chesapeake Bay, New England Puget Sound and Caribbean. Crew on 16 deliveries on No. America coast of Atlantic (from BVIs to St Lawrence River) in voyages from 350 to 1500nm. Delivery captain for one delivery from Delaware to Cape Cod (426nm).

Retired executive. Love sailing and learning. Plan to sail 8-10 times a year including (1) day or weekend sails on my own 30' sloop; (2) as skipper for my sailing club, weekend or weeklong charter trips on boats (38-45 ft) on the Chesapeake or in New England; and (3) delivery assists from 4 to 21 days anywhere I can reach in one day flight.

I enjoy putting my seamanship skills to use and simultaneously gaining additional learning and experience by sailing with others. I also look forward to sailing in regions that I have not visited before. Rather than loafing through a cruising locale, I enjoy the discipline of meeting the objectives of delivering vessels in a timely and safe manner.
