About the Author

For 70 years, I have sailed many types of boats - racing and cruising sailboats. I have raced catamarans, Windmills, International 14s and other sailboats across the U.S. I have cruised everywhere in the Chesapeake Bay from a traditional bugeye to an Erickson 35. Now, I race small boats - historic 1939 Chesapeake 20, MC and E Scows in Sarasota, Florida. I carefully selected models that were authentic and accurate to the original sailboat during my worldwide travels.
