About Me:

Love sailing and being on the water. Sail a Beneteau First 285 on Lake St. Clair that I bought this year - a long time dream come true and crew a racing C&C 35. I have also sailed in the Traverse City area and in Lake Michigan. I mostly single hand sail but would love to find people to sail with. I am also a long time motorcyclist and teach beginning riders and motorcycle safety courses part time. Eventually I would love to live aboard, sailing the Great Lakes in the summer and the Keys area in the winter.

Sailing Experience:

I have been sailing for several years in both dinghies and keel boats around the Great Lakes. I started on JY-15s, Lasers and Sunfish. I mostly cruise sail but have been crewing on another boat for races and have found I really like it. I have ASA-101, 103 and 104 certifications and am planning on completing the 105 and 106 certification next summer. I am currently working on my captains license.

ASA-101, ASA-103, ASA-104 certifications, navigation, master mechanic.
