I recently had a chance to speak with Gary Jobson about safety issues in sailing. Jobson is, of course, a highly accomplished sail racer, a winning tactician in the America's Cup, and currently president of U.S. Sailing, the official American governing body for racing. Read here what he had to say about PFD use and how one can set a personal example for safe sailing. He tells some great stories! Jobson also has recently partnered with the website Sailing Spoken Here, an online community for racing and cruising sailors alike. Check it out!
