Dennis Schell - Andy's Dad // Cruiser

Dennis Schell - Andy's Dad // Cruiser

#196. Dennis Schell is affectionately & jokingly known to all my sailing friends as simply 'Andy's Dad'. I have him to thank for my sailing career, and for inspiring me to start my own business. Dad raised me as a sailor & taught me everything I know. We recorded this chat aboard Isbjorn in Trellis Bay, BVI, shortly before we both sailed - he on Sojourner, us on Isbjorn - north to Bermuda. We covered the gamut of my dad's sailing career, from his days sailing sunfish on Blue Marsh Lake, to his working at a Ft. Lauderdale boatyard, building and marketing his own sailboat, the 'Salt 19,' his first ocean passage in a 50-knot gale off Cape Hatteras and tons more!
