Chris Larsen
Captain Chris Larsen grew up sailing on a small inland lake in Illinois. He raced Lasers and Hobies until he joined the crew on Captain Morgan's J105 for the Chicago Yacht Club's Mackinac Island Race in the summer of 1988. After that, he pursued a Mechanical Engineering degree at Missouri Institute of Science & Technology, where he led a project to design and build a solar car to race across Australia. After graduation, he started a construction company in St. Louis, MO, then somehow became the IT Manager for a large company in Texas, while sailing on the Gulf of Mexico every weekend. Feeling that something was missing in his life, he quit the rat race and became the Base Manager for a fractional sailing program. To continue his sailing education, he moved to San Francisco and became the Base Manager for a significantly larger franchise in one of the best sailing venues in the world. Immediately upon his arrival in Bay Area, he earned his USCG Captain license and became both a certified US Sailing and ASA Instructor. He and his girlfriend/partner are planning on buying a fixer-upper sailboat suitable for their future, open-ended circumnavigation/semi-retirement. In the mean time, he also is a Certified Rigging Specialist at West Marine in Alameda, and owns/operates a charter company in the Caribbean, while doing sailboat deliveries along the West Coast.
