 On Board Since October 1994 OCSC: Why do you sail? DR: To breathe, to live, to fulfill my destiny. Have you tried yoga lately? Sailors don't bent that way. Same smoothing and relaxing effect, a lot less pain at the end of the day. OCSC: What do you enjoy about working at OCSC?
DR: Sharing my passion for sailing and my love of the sea. To introduce new people to the sport of sailing, and to grow the skill sets of the advanced sailors who are already enjoying it. To be out there, where ever there is, rain or shine, blowing or calm. Okay, truly? To give Rich a few more gray hairs as the days and the years go by." OCSC: What's your sailing background? DR: I've read a few books about it. This is an embarrassing question, I don't sail and tell, and I feel it is a very personal statement you are asking here. Every boat I've sunk, every race I've lost, every wave I've broached, every mast I've bent, every student I've failed are all private moments I will always treasure and never forget. OCSC: When you're not sailing, what can we find you doing? DR: Planning my next sailing trip, or thinking about my last regatta.
OCSC: What are your top five sailing books of all time? DR: " 1. Les Glenans's Bible (Sailing manual of the Glenans) 2. La terre est ronde (J.F. Deniau, The world is round) 3. The racing rules of sailing 2005-2008 4. Taking on the World (Mc Arthur, Ellen) I can't decide on the last one between: 5a. Adrift (76 days lost at sea. S. Callahan) 5b. Endurance (Shackelton's incredible Voyage, A. Lansing) 5c. Sailing Alone around the World (J. Slocum), so I'll pick Moby Dick.
