Last of all (doing his 14th Mac) and (who retired aver #12). Matt and Emmy are appreciative of, and wowed by, the amazing group of sailors who join them every year on - a slow cruising boat somehow attracts a group of great sailors and even better people. Thank you.

Mac number two for this year! Previously Jeff served as our very own Boatpix plane. He likely will@tell us to "Sit back, relax and enjoy the race" - words you can hear the next time he is your pilot on . A new member, he is the life of the party and makes a mean gooey butter cake.

returns for Mac number 7. One of our primary drivers and main charcuterie chef, Charlie sailed at and is headed off to where he hopefully will be joining the offshore team this fall. Charlie is coaching at this summer, teaching his students about the joys of sailing and the finer points of cycling. A proud member.

joins us again from north of the border (via Dallas). A Soling world champion, Will hails from a family of high end competitive sailors, all of whom are confused by the presence of a bimini on . Think of him the next time you look out the window at the engine on your Southwest flight - he is in charge of maintaining them! Also a proud member.

New to the team for 2025 is !Anna is a former collegiate sailor and high school . Anna has coached at , and at . A fellow member, Anna brings a great wealth of competitive sailing experience - and drives our average age down significantly! Welcome to the team!
