From Wil: “Growing up in Southern Maine, I began sailing at the Orrs-Bailey Yacht Club in Harpswell. While attending college on the North Shore, I founded our collegiate Sailing program, and taught junior sailing during the summer months before graduating with a Business Degree in 2007. Now living in Boston I spread my sailing time between Frostbite Racing J24s on the Harbor, and summer racing in Marblehead, while escaping from work for deliveries along the East Coast and Bermuda.” wil@sail1design.com
