| A racer and sailor as of childhood. Relatively new to cruising as I’m working full time in running my biotech company in the US and Europe. Owned quite boats for the last 35 years, active racing partner on a Farr 40 out of Marblehead, MA (Eastern Yacht Club). I live in Boston and at this time interested in sailing a boat I have purchased 10 months ago after a refit made in St Lucia WI. I’m a scientist, engineer and entrepreneur running tech startups through my entire professional life. I love to create, explore, study, invent, innovate and make positive changes in the way we live, treat public health challenges and more... I take minimal to no risks in sailing. Safety is my number one concern and boat convenience follows. But as with everything in life, it is all about people! - the right team can turn any challenge into a great positive experience for life. So I’m very careful at this front as well, and try to take no risks. | |
