Doug learned to sail and race on the Hudson river, competing in Sunfish and Laser regattas as a boy. His experience includes sailing up and down the West coast and longer cruises to Mexico and the South Pacific. He also holds a 50-ton Masters license with towing endorsement. Over the years Doug has owned several sailboats and a ski boat. He recently returned from cruising Mexico after participating in the 2019 Baja Haha rally with his Spindrift 43 cutter. He knows life is better when you have a boat!
