Navigated division wins (2000 and 2012) and a number of 2nds and 3rds. I especially enjoy working with first-time campaigns and "family" efforts, and get them to the podium as often as not. I'm also a naval architect, have done inspections for Transpac and Pac Cup, weather briefings, race prep seminars, etc. etc. And I bring an awesome music collection. That's me in the "Call me Paul or Andy" experience dropdown.
Have sailed as watch captain, foredeck boss, trimmer and swab. But have never sailed as cook! (I don't get seasick, knock on carbon) and might be amenable for that role if the navigator's berth is taken. Would like to try combining cook and navigator if the boat only supports one non-watch-stander (in the tradition of Commodore Tomkins, who once won trophies for navigating the overall winner in a Mexico race, and ALSO the "fastest cook on the slowest boat" booby prize trophy in the same race, for being cook on the last boat to finish).
