Sail1Design Welcomes New Team Member Jeff Doubek!

Sail1Design is pleased to introduce Jeff Doubek, our newest Airwaves writer and team member!
Jeff is an accomplished Marketing Consultant, native Midwesterner, and the former Executive Director of the Geneva Lake Sailing School (WI). He is committed to sharing the personal rewards found in a lifetime of sailing and credits much of his success to the knowledge gained from others. First hired as a GLSS instructor at age 16, Jeff has invested his life into youth sailing. Hired in 1999 as the program’s first full-time director, Doubek rebuilt an aging 68-year-old program into a prominent and progressive inland lake program. In 2005, Jeff was named Outstanding Director of a Seasonal Program by the US Sailing Association. Other industry positions include time spent with Melges Boat Works during the development of the Melges24, and with Johnson Boat Works during the development of the Johnson Club 420 and FJ (later PSI). An avid scow racer, he was Class C-Scow champion 2005, 2006, and 2007 at the Lake Geneva Yacht Club and was a key crewmember of the 38-foot A-scow that won the 133rd running of the historic Sheridan Cup. These days you’ll find him sailing Laser 197034 up and down the Jersey shore. Racing aside, Jeff considers himself a far better leader, motivator and team coach. He enjoys his winning moments as junior racing coach at the Lake Geneva Yacht Club far above any personal racing accomplishments. He has been certified by US Sailing with L1, L2, and L3 certifications.
