In Major League Baseball, players always talk about the importance of the guys in the dugout before them and how they changed the game. Gary Jobson is Sailing's guy. We can't think of anyone in modern sailing that works harder or has had a greater impact on the sport.
This weekend, Jobson released his 17th book, a memoir called An American Sailing Story. Somehow, he found time between movies, speaking engagements, serving as spokesperson for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and being the President of US SAILING to squeeze in almost 300 pages of what promises to provide highs, lows and a great perspective on sport and life. The book was also edited by Cynthia Goss, one of our favorites.
At SailFast, we've always said that sailors are generally a bit more journey than destination. What could be better than finding a good berth and taking a ride with America's favorite sailor?!
Gary helped set the stage we now play on. He's seen it all and he's still working harder than all of us - a true inspiration. No doubt, An American Sailing Story will be equally inspiring.
