Introduction
City Island Yacht Club Membership Chairman. Captain/owner of the sailing yacht Eagle. It is an X-332. This is the third auxillary I have owned. I have been sailing for over 30 years. I sail out of City Island Yacht Club, City Island, NY.
Are you interested in racing and if so, what type of experience do you have? Willing to learn?

Not Applicable

Are you looking for crew? Are you willing to crew?

We race every Wednesday night from mid-May to mid-September and about two weekends a month during the season. We have over 8 regular crew members with a few extras for weekend racing. We are not looking to add anyone right now.

How much sailing have you done? What type of sailing would you like to do this season?

I have sailed dinghies since the 70s and have owned a 30 foot plus boat since 2000. I do mostly club racing in Western Long Island Sound and occassional social sailing.

Do you own a boat? If so, what kind, and where is it docked? If not, do you rent, charter, or use a sailing club?

I own an X-332 moored at City Island Yacht Club, City Island, NY.

What sailing courses have you taken? What certifications do you hold?

I have taken US Power Squadron, Safety at Sea, North Sail (2), Cruising courses as well as a number of short seminars through the years.
