Andy grew up racing, day sailing and cruising in Michigan and made his first offshore passage at age 19, which set him on a course into the sailing industry that continues to this day. A USCG licensed captain and US Sailing certified instructor, Andy has taught sailing, cruising and racing for over 15 years and currently cruises his Grand Soleil 39 with his wife and two sons. When not sailing with his family, Andy loves racing any boat he can get on; skippering deliveries; teaching sailing, cruising, and racing classes; and inspiring sailors to get out on the water and live their dreams.

Geoff is a multiple class one-design and keelboat champion, Collegiate National Champion and 2x Collegiate All-American, applying the lessons he learned developing his own skills to his coaching.

Rod’s racing experience covers the spectrum from Sunfish and dinghies to Vipers, J24s, Melges 32s, and Farr 39s, from small lakes to open oceans, as helmsman, tactician, and trimmer.
