Jim Doub started sailing in 1965 on San
Francisco Bay while working at Hewlett-Packard. His professional relocations enabled him
to sail extensively in Long Island Sound and, for the past fifteen years, here in the Puget
Sound area. He enjoys the excitement of racing, the challenge of always learning something
new, and introducing newcomers to the sport. He started Sailing
in Seattle early in 1997 with a vision to share his love and knowledge of
sailing with others in a personalized, safe and fun environment providing relaxation and
adventure. |
