I am a semi retired delivery skipper happy to serve as skipper or mate for passages on well found vessels...mono or cat. I have my USCG 100 ton Master license for the inland waters and great lakes and my 100 ton near coastal. I also hold instructor certifications from ASA (American Sailing Association) for Basic Keelboat, Cruising, Bareboat Charter, Advanced Coastal Cruising, Navigation, Catamaran.
I am not interested in romantic entanglements...just sailing. I sail with my partner, who is a great engineer.
I've owned 5 boats (so far): a Catalina 27, an Island Packet 40 and a Hallberg Rassy 53, Precision 21 and a Sisu 22 and a 13’ PeaPod. We are available for long and short passages, motor and sail.

I enjoy passage making and owner aboard deliveries with sail training. I enjoy coaching owners so that they improve their sailing skills & confidence. I am competent in all aspects of navigation, electronics, radar, radio communication & weather.

I love to sail and seem to be the happiest when I am at sea on a well made vessel with competent crew.
