Grace E's Crew

We are so lucky and proud of the crew we have gathered over the past 3 years. Here are some details of each of them.






Brian: Skipper, boat driver, guy who is supposed to only steer. Master of the starting sequences. He is amazing with the rules of the road.



Cheryl: Chief Financial Officer. You can usually hear her purse screaming from below the deck. Tries to do tactics, when Brian lets her. Jib and spinnaker trimmer.




Erryn: Main Trimmer. The quiet guy who is "one" with the main, can't you tell? He usually eats us out of house and home, so bring some food!


Jim: Jib and spinnaker trim. Also great with tactics and strategies. He's an accomplished musician and always soft spoken.




Chris: Jack of all trades. Sometimes trimmer, sometimes mast, sometimes foredeck. Always flexible. Never stops cracking jokes, usually at Cheryl's expense.




Christy: The newest crew member. Graduated from rail meat, to running backs to now master of the pit. She's great because she can multi-task. Just stay away from her when she drinks Coronas!



Thom: Mast and foredeck. Member of the United States Coast Guard. Former Eagle Scout. Sorry, not the best picture. I'll work on that.


Bill: Mast and pit. Always has a story to tell. Has been known to self inflate his PFD by accident. Threatens to fall off on a regular basis.




Jules: Our most seasoned foredeck man. Can be seen working the foredeck with a bottle of beer in his back pocket.




Mr. Vonk: His name is John. Foredeck. Member of the United States Coast Guard. Always safety cautious. Loves to chat!

Michael: Sail trim. Genious. Downfall: powerboater. We'll forgive him. Usually never wears socks, until January!

Rich: Pit and mast. School teacher. Musician. Always flexible.






Thank you to all of our great crew and great friends for you time and dedication to Grace E. We couldn't do it without you!
