John took over the Offshore Director position upon Ken Weller's departure in December 1993. We will miss John. His departure creates a real need to replace his expertise in our Offshore services. We are fortunate to have the services of a naval architect and several certified measurers to fill the gap over the interim period while we look for John's replacement. Candidates should have good background in offshore handicapping rules and in business.
Position also involves administration of department that includes three other employees.
Five former champions participated. Nancy Haberland dominated, going away. It's absolutely the best ocean protection on the planet, as well it should be. Gill's Bowman's Smock was developed and tested by some the world's top bowmen during the last Whitbread Race, and features breathable GORE-TEX with latex dryseal neck and cuffs to keep the water out. We did an hour's worth of boat work, then headed out to tune up.
