I grew up in Buffalo NY racing on PHRF boats from a Cal25 through J35. Have raced on J24s and J27s in the past as well as raced Sunfish and Lasers for a few years. Have been out of racing for about 15-20 years, but own my own Hunter 376 cruiser. Back in the day I was a foredeck guy, but can do any position on the boat. I’m just looking to meet new people, be part of a community and have a good time. I’m 48, but much younger get in mind and body :-).

I can be available for the Tuesday night race series throughout the year and if my schedule works out some weekend races as well.

Raced my Morris M36 (Kira) in the Around the Island Race. Grew up sailing in Marblehead. Served as an officer in both the U.S. Merchant Marine and Naval Reserve. Currently singlehand the M36 out of Dutch Harbor, Jamestown. Looking to crew on a race boat to build on my racing experience and learn from experienced skippers.

Dates available for the 2026 season: All dates — Spring, Summer, and Fall series.
