sailed raced 1st Transpac in '77 (also raced in '79, '81, '83)
Raced in SORC in '80
Raced MORC in early 80's (got 2nd in class/4th o.a. in '86 nats)
Raced maxi uldb sleds in Mex races 85-91(LaPaz, Manzanillo,Cabo and Mazatlan, all total about 10 trips and several trophies)

All while racing my own J22 "Stray Cat" in between in local So Cal races, regularly beating up on boats 8-10' longer...got my PHRF Rating lowerd twice as a result !!! Owned the J22 for 11 yrs.

Got bored with sailing in '96, sold the J22......Took a 5 yr. hiatus to spend time raising my two kids, now 11 & 13....

Got back into it last year, now am racing a J80 here in So Cal......but now in between P-car fun tho..
