Summery of Experience

Go With Experience - Why choose me

I own a 41 foot sailboat, and I have a great deal of respect for any boat I am fortunate to be aboard. For me, it's all about hiring the right Captain to deliver your boat.  I am pleased to send you my sailing C/V with over 185,000 blue water nautical miles experience, as well as my references which I encourage you to check. 

I grew up in an era when it was necessary to navigate our position without GPS and determine set/drift and course while underway. I am old school and can navigate quickly and efficiently using paper charts, parallel ruler and dividers.  I am also very proficient with all the latest navigational aids including Radar, GPS, Chart plotters, AIS, Sat phones, Online navigational aids and weather forecasts models. I generally provide online real time delivery progress for owners and their family/friends using the latest available technology to keep all those interested in the delivery informed.

I believe that boat preparation is key to a successful delivery. Both boat, crew, provisioning and the boats electronics and subsystems should be inspected and in good working order.

I believe that the Captain, crew and owner should be able to trust and depend on each other as well as get along. Safety and a secure passage are paramount to me. Having fun and enjoying the experience is what keeps me coming back for another passage.

I am easy going both on and off the water but I take my deliveries seriously and do not believe that a professionally hired Captain or crew should drink while delivering a boat. Party activities are best saved for after the delivery.
