Instructor and Racing Coach
Holding degrees in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Jim's career has spanned a number of phenomenal pursuits including cruising the world on his own vessel, managing one of the largest sailing schools in the Bay Area, participation in hundreds of races here in the Bay and offshore in every position from bow to driver, and captaining vessels of all sizes with his 100T Master's license. These steps in his career have led him to his current passion, the Sailing Science Center, of which he is the President and Founder. The Sailing Science Center is a non-profit working to create a hands-on interactive learning center with the mission of inspiring a passion for sailing and science for kids and adults. Check out their exciting vision at sailingscience.org.
We are delighted to have Jim as an instructor and coach for Modern Sailing's Racing Program.
