History: Joe started sailing a Wayfarer (1587) in 1968, and immediately joined Fleet 2.
In 1972 Bill Worrall asked Joe if he still wanted a wood boat and he
said whose boat. When Bill said it was his, Joe said yes but had a
problem in that he just went into business for himself and he needed to
sell his boat first. Bill said that it was OK. Joe sold his boat and
bought his present boat. Joe started to sail much better with his new
boat. In 1972 he won the coveted George Smith Trophy. After
that, Joe had several finishes in the top five in the Nationals and
North Americans. In 1983 he won the North Americans. Joe hasn't been as
active as he would like to be because his sons have grown up and are
not available to crew anymore. |
