Sailing
History: Nick started his sailing dalliance in Wayfarers in
1968 and never missed a regatta until 1988. He then began dabbling in
other classes such as Tartan Tens, Etchells and finally the J-22 which
he still owns. As a result of all those years of devotion to sailboat
racing he has managed to reach the high end of mediocre but
enjoys every minute on the water as well as the friendships formed.
Since his retirement from the sheet metal contracting business he has
returned to the Wayfarers and is actively racing with his grandson, Joe
Blackmore. |
Sailing
History: Joe is
relatively new to
sailing having first been exposed to racing on Nick's J-22. This year
he
began crewing on the Wayfarer and as a strong and fit young man took
to it like a duck to water. (Al's note: When Nick starts
thinking of anyone as a duck, it's time to duck!! Highlight Nick's
When not sailing to see why) |
When
not sailing: Nick is an avid golfer and duck hunter. |
When
not sailing: Joe is a
journeyman electrician
plying his trade in the greater Detroit area. |
Family: Wife, Mary. In
addition to an assortment of children and grandchildren, Nick is
"father" to a number of hunting dogs. |
