Forty years in courtrooms. A longer apprenticeship under sail — coastal passages, blue-water crossings, and the slow education of wind, current, and weather.
I came to yachting in a very American way. I got my hands on boats and took them out on the water and "taught myself." Which is to say the boats taught me. Eventually, they taught me well enough to sail across the ocean alone. But by learning this way, I failed to develop some essential skills and, to be honest, I picked up some bad habits. So now, I am starting anew and learning how to sail a fast boat properly. All so that I can attempt a solo non-stop circumnavigation.
The boat that taught me the most about sailing was "Malabar." The boat that I hope will carry me around the world is "Guerrera." On this site, you will find information about both; and you can find the current state of the project on social media. All the best!
