AM: I split my time with my business, Waypoint Racing, between wiring & navigating race boats. I’ve been lucky enough to grow up around SDYC and sail with D.C, Isler (who taught me to navigate), Rudiger amongst the other California legends. Our company sells what we use onboard, so it’s a good mix of sailing and real work.
