Valerio Marra

Private Instructor - Boston, MA, USA
Since I started sailing, my mission has been demystifying sailboat design: how they work, how their design affects their function, and how to sail them faster. I love teaching performance sailing to intermediate/advanced sailors who are still wondering "how does that control line do what it does?" Sailing well, fast and balanced, and safely are my goals. I designed and delivered a "The Physics of Yacht Design" seminar series where the most important aspects of yacht design are covered at an accessible level (high-school math and physics is all that is needed), but detailed enough to be of interest to beginner and experienced sailors alike. My favorite sailboat is the J/80. I volunteer as a skipper for adaptive sailing programs anytime I can. I received a PhD in fluid machines and energy systems engineering and a MSc in nuclear engineering, focusing on numerical methods for computational fluid dynamics. Learn more...

Nate Carver

Private Instructor - New York, NY, USA
I don't remember the first time I went sailing, but it is family lore. Two years old, having stayed on the beach and hearing how much fun everyone else had on a boat, I announced that I'd like to go sailing. My family dropped everything and that was it. From there I've spent a lot of time on other people's boats. Coastal cruising in Monterey Bay and San Diego. Family sailing in San Fransisco Bay, Catalina Island, Santa Barbara. Collegiate dingy racing and corinthian big boat racing on Lake Michigan. Delivery through the Panama Canal. Charters in Caribbean, Great Lakes, the Med. But some of the best sailing I've known has been in the New York City because of the Hudson River Community Sailing where I started volunteering with new sailors, high schoolers, racers, and the general public. Now I've expanded to teach and share my love of sailing aboard Calliope, a 36 foot sailboat in Long Island Sound. Helping new sailors get move from small keelboats to "big boat" sailing and cruising.

Location notes: I train on a 1987 Sabre 36 sailboat in western Long Island Sound, from May through October each year. During the winter months, I am available to travel and assist with skippering in the US and Caribbean. Just contact me for more info.

David Carey

Private Instructor - Erie, PA, USA
I want to share my love of sailing. My first mate (my wife) and I fell in love with sailing after seeing a family enjoy a Hobie Cat at the beach almost 20 years ago. After that we began learning on increasing size boats over the years (including that very Hobie Cat) and now teach on our Ericson 32. I find that sailing is different things for people. For my wife it is the peace and calm of the open air and water. I feel the same but also the mental engagement needed to always be evaluating the wind and course. Come join us and find your passion for sailing! Learn more...
Location notes: I can train you on my Ericson 32 or on your boat during the sailing season which runs from May thru October each year. Off season I am available to travel if you are interested just contact me.
