I am 21 years old. My father first took me
sailing on the Chespeake Bay when I was 6 months old; I have been sailing ever since. When I was 8, I began
racing on both small boats (
dinghies), and
Keel Boats. My
keel boat
racing experience includes a
Cal 2-30,
C&C 33, Express 35, J/22, J/24, J/29, J/30, J/35, J/42, Melges 24, Merit 25,
Navy 44, and a
Santa Cruz 70. My
dinghy experience includes Lasers, 420s, 470s, JY15s, Thistles, and Optimists. I have done many distance races, including the Round Block
Island
Race and Vineyard
race, both in 2008.
I have been cruising my entire life. My cruising experience includes a
Pearson Ariel (similar to a
Pearson Triton, only smaller), a
Morgan 30,
Jeanneau 35,
Cal 2-27,
Beneteau 35.7, and currently a Bayfield 32. I have sailed
offshore many many times, including a trip this past November from
Annapolis,
Maryland to
St. Maarten, in the
Caribbean.
I began coaching sailing and racing when I was 13- in 2001. I have been teaching junior sailors every summer since then, teaching everything from 8 year old beginners (kids who have never set foot on a boat) to 16 year olds in advanced racing. I have taught at the
Baltimore County Sailing Center for 6 summers (
www.bcsailing.org), and this past summer taught at the Tred
Avon Yacht Club, in Oxford Md (tayc.com). I have taught 420s, Lasers, Optis, and
Hunter Xcites.
I am a Level 1 certified small boat instructor through US Sailing, and in May of 2007 became certified in
Maryland as an
Emergency Medical Technician. My EMT
certification is
current. I have two years experience in the community fire department as an EMT.
I wonder if my qualifications meet your requirements.
Thanks in advance. I can be reached via

Thanks again,
Corey
