John in his own words:
"I was brought up in a sailing family. My grandfather sailed and my parents sailed doing their honeymoon in 1953 aboard a sailboat around Cape Cod. However, our biggest sailboat was a Rhodes 19 which we still have in Maine today. So, while we are a lifelong sailing family it was purely small boat, weekend, recreational sailing that we did for about 10 weeks every short Maine summer. We had a styrofoam Snark, a 10' Turnabout, my brother Peter and I bought a 420 in high school and it was only then that he and I started to expand our horizons by crewing on local, Maine offshore races and eventually he and I and our friend Max Fletcher took a year off from college to sail from Maine to Venezuela and back. I did some college racing but again in a short Vermont season. My parents always had fun sailing but weren't really racers or cruisers - just weekend small boat sailors but that was enough to plant a seed so that myself and my three brothers became lifelong sailors though my brother Peter and I made it both a career and pastime."
