I've been sailing for over 10 years, took my first lesson at the
Belle Haven Marina and was a member of the
Manhattan Sailing Club for many years. Currently I am a member and sailing instructor at the
Downtown Sailing Center and
DC Sail. I'm also actively involved with
Annapolis Community Boating.
I've sailed in/to lots of places, such as:



the Chesapeake Bay from Baltimore to Annapolis/Edgewater; the Potomac



The Hudson; Long Island Sound; the Atlantic; Block Island; Martha's Vineyard



Abroad, on the Mazury lakes in Poland; also Tasman Bay, New Zealand
I have successfully received a number of sailing credentials including ASA 101, 103, 104 and US Sailing
Level 1 Small Boat and
Basic Keelboat sailing instructor.
I have sailed/raced/crewed/taken classes on lots of boats including Flying Scots, J/22s, J/24s, Sonars, a variety of 30 footers, and the 42 foot
Pintita. A lot of my experience has been on J/24s, which are comparable in size to Helenka and Sofia.
